BLACK POWER!

im just wondering but why does it shoot so slowly? like it should shoot way faster maybe even have a fully auto or semi auto burst like the AR or BR... 1 shot isnt enough and the clip size should be increased to 12 if its made full auto.


PLEASE bungie make this happen itd be really cool and more realistic because this game is like 500 yrs in the future anyways so ya

edit: I love bungie keep up the good work guys!

The shotgun fires so "slowly" to promote game balance. The shotgun was ment for you to get close and let loose, with one shot, and maybe a mele almost always granting you a kill. IF, the shotgun was automatic, it would be in the same problem area as the AA-12 in MW2. It would have too much power and would be one of the moat overused weapons in the game.

yeah but it wouldnt be able to shoot as far as the cod guns so it would still be balanced. only 12 shots and make it fully auto seems like a better idea then it is now... 1 shot, pump, die, WUT?! see what im saying

i've wondered the same thing. If you have shot a shotgun in real life you know you can shoot them pretty fast. I think it would help make the game more realistic.

finally someone with some sense. but to keep balance only make the shotty hit ppl with accuracy up to 10ft away cuz then it balances the sword lunge and will take more skill to use

Does the word "overpowered" mean anything to you?

The shotgun actually has a fair bit of range, go into a custom and check it out...and immagine that times twelve, it wouldnt be pretty. As it is right now (and I'm going to get attacked for this) the Halo 3 shotgun is almost like the Spas-12 from MW2. Its simple, and in the right hands, is a terrifying weapon...short of the obvious balance issues with MW2.

yeah the vechiles are overpowered which leads me to my next point. I think cars should be able to get flat tires. Like im shooting the warthog and my teammates are bad (lvl 10s or whatever) and they do nothing. so i think warthogs should get damaged more then just appearance but also the tires to make it slower like a fatty is riding shotgun

ya true i guess they could put this into reach thatd make it alot more fun and probably sell alot more copies if they added this improvement

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Wow, I mean, in the campaign, it would be cool but could never work online. The shotgun is balanced. It has slow rate of fire and poor range, but it a one hit kill up close. I find it just fine.

I like Halo And waffles

I dont think changing the shotgun will keep peopls from going to reach its such a small aspect of the game
