A covenant shotgun would be sweet because it would make the game harder and the harder the better

I read one fan earlier that came up with the idea of a needler based shotgun. I really liked that idea. Instead of a stream of needlers it fired them in clusters of five in a tight group at a target with no homing ability.

Now that would be very nice. The human shotgun would still be more powerful but the covenant version would have some awesome effects.

I just like the idea of that needles based shot gun. Shooting an elite in the guy with it he growls and makes to hit you then there's that awesome neon pink explosion from the shotgun blast. He's stunned and you shoot him twice more and step back to watch a much bigger and this time definitely a fatal explosion!

The only bad thing about it is when i use the shot gun i get really close to them and shoot them. I f i was using a needle type shotgun it would stick to him and then blow up with me right by him.

That's the point to a certain degree. It has to be similar to the human shotgun but different and alien at the same time. If they were identical, why bother including two versions at all? It woudl be better to use that space for an all new weapon wouldn't you think? Further, I'd prefer if the human shotgun had the more effective version of the shotgun. This would be the covenant's first attempt at the thing after all and they're not the most innovative of races.

As for firing point blank with a shotgun. Needles do have a delay to them, so you can go up shoot the guy point blank and then step backwards and wait for the explosion.

bad idea with the covanant shotgun it's just not cool. i would rather see a diffrent weapon. we have a shotgun and it works fine i don't need a covanant verson but maybe if we saw a covie verson of a sniper rifle like maybe a rail gun or high intensity long range laser that would be sweet

im no talking about a covie wepon just for MC im talkin about it for the covies so it would be harder but i like the laser idea but i think that would fall more under the human wepons than covies.

a Plasma Thrower (If bungie is able to get it into the game) would make a good counter to the Human Shotgun.

because there would be covie snipers and it would rule RULE!!!!!!!!! and covies shotguns would hurt and crap. so they need to suck with there ghetto energy weapons and special rock thingy weapons. and no a plasma shotgun would be -blam!- becuaase plasma dosen't work that way.
