The shotgun is the best close range weapon in the game and people new to halo will need it to ascend to the ranks of pro and above. The shotgun is quite easy to master once you learn a few simple tips. I recomend all beginners to master it because its probably the easiest weapon to master and a good shotgunner can keep even the most seasoned halo players on lockdown.

1. Pay attention to the screen and everything around you- in a shotgun game its the man who sees you first who gets the kill and you have to be alert and ready at any second to blast your unexpecting foe. Players who are alert will win the games every time.

2. Aim for the head always- in a shotguns no shields game you can almost snipe with the shotgun if you aim for the head. Aiming for the head increases your range and ability for one shot kills

3. Always reload- The shotgun doesnt hold alot of ammo and when your playing large games your gonna need full ammo when engaging more than one target at once

4. Camping- camping is an easy way to surprise and kill your enemy fast and the shotgun is a great weapon for it. Hiding behind portals and around corners are great spots. In CTF the shotgun should be the weapon of choice for base guards, hinding next to doors and blood gulch with a shotgun will surely take out the enemy no matter what weapon he has

Im am an elite on xbconnect and a beast with a shotgun and believe me when i say its the easiest weapon to master i mean it. Following these simple rules will send you on your way to owning halo games with the shotgun

Very good advice
Most people just point and shoot, never use the full potential of the shotgun

When you said AIM at the head... is that the best thing to do with a shotty? because shottys spew out alot of bullets... and if you AIM at thier head alot might miss... unless you are really close.... just a comment, correct if wrong

There are no irrelevant quotes of historical figures here. Neither will you find any links, chain posts, memes, clan advertisements, self-promotions, or the tiniest of ASCII pictures.

So go away.

Even if many of the pellets miss, a clean head shot does much more damage.

ShotgunKilla, man what great advice? Can I have your f.ucking autograph since you're a GOD and all? C MOOOON!.. I hate cocky people who think they own everyone and everything. Btw ShotgunKilla try this, if you're so dang good why don't you join someone else instead of just hosting? Shouldn't be a problem for an elite like yourself.

ShotgunKilla, don't you dare use the word God to describe yourself. Gods of Halo are the guys that rule all at tournaments and are usually crowned with that title.

Using the words of Stevo from Jackass:
Why don't you get a glass stomach...That way you'll be able to see where you're going...Your heads so far up your own ass, I can't see it

Quit with the trash talk about you 'Halo skills' and actually play some guys that are modestly giving you challenges on XBC.

Take back that racist comment or we'll ship you and your family back to Africa! (lol, j/k but I didn't like the 'whitey' remark)
