Me and my "annoying" cousin are debating over which weapon is better shotgun or sniper? Well I want you guys to see which is better. honestly I think the sniper is better and forever will be.

Don't hack you Gamerscore. I did it. Got caught. And it sucks.

It depends whether for long range or short range. Obviously snipers will dominate for long range, and shotguns will surpass the short range test. All together they're both very good weapons. HOWEVER, snipers can be used for both if you're skilled enough. SO, I would agree that snipers are the best. :)

Well the Sniper Rifle is a moderate weapon in CQ and obviously perfect for long range.

The Shotgun is far superior in CQ and can't even kill a un-shielded opponent at long range.

I'd say Sniper is more multi-purpose..and I'm sure the people I'm killing with a Shotgun blast to the face would agree.

Agreed. Also, the sniper by far considering Halo 3's shotgun has an effective range of an inch.

Obviously the Sniper Rifle. I find them more useful in multiplayer. When you can't decide in Campaign use Multiplayer.
