the Shogun has to be at pissing distance to kill a Spartan or elite because Buck shot loses kinetic energy very rapidly and it's Bungies way of balancing the weapon,
I do think it should stay that way

but in campaign i would like to be able to kill a grunt, jackal, or drone, 40 yards away
it would make drone encounters a little less annoying

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

40 yards... 40 yards... I was raised with the metric system so I'm not quite sure how far a yard is...

However, that still seems like a VERY LONG DISTANCE.

I KNOW!!

in the 2500's, there should be a shotty that has MUCH MORE power than current ones. there are shotguns that are full auto and accurrate at long distances nowadays. the h3 shotty's bullets dissapear after a like 20 ft. it makes me MAD!

a meter is about 6-7 centimeters longer than a yard

the Shot gun fires ab 8 gauge Magnum so it would defiantly be leathat too a grunt at 60 meters

keep the shotgun the same, multiplayer weapon balance and melee system are the most important thigns in halo reach that bungie should be looking at. multiplayer is 1000X more important then the campaign because 1000X more hours will be spent multiplayering

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

You have never fired a shotgun have you?

Master chief is 17 feet tall and an elite is 13 fathoms long, so 40 yards is equivalent to 71.3 chiefs.

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

In real life a shotgun can get alot of range. Depending upon what kind of shell you use and how tight you adjust the spread. I think the CE shotgun was perfect, for balancing keep it at 6 shells ammo capacity.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

MLG does not approve of the Shotgun which means I do not approve!

Just kidding...

Halo: CE Shotgun should come back. That thing was bomb.

Heh. Halo 1 shotgun with 6 rounds, and you have to tap RB to pump the action.
