I have a question, is there a better weapon combination than the pistol and sniper rifle/RL? You would always have the pistol with you and alternate between the sniper and rocket launcher depending on the situation. But there is also a stipulation, the only maps this applys to is Blood Gulch and Hang em High, since thes are the only maps I play.

Pistol/Shotgun. Apply frag grenades liberally.

How is the shotgun effective in blood gulch other than base guarding? In hang 'em the pistol is much more effective and quicker to kill enemies with than the shotgun unless they are like right beside you. If the enemy is like 10 feet away from you it takes 2 shotgun shots to kill, but if the enemy is backing away from you it becomes increasingly more difficult to hit the enemy; if you were using the pistol they would already be dispatched.
Just to let you know I'm not hating on the shotgun I love to use it on levels like chillout just not BG

Plasma Pistol w/ pistol

Surprise them with that first shoot to knock their shields off then kill them with a headshot.

Or Plasma Rifle w/ pistol.
Slow them down with the plasma rifle, then melee them or shoot them with the pistol once their shield disappears...

How is the shotgun effective in blood gulch other than base guarding?
Here are simple step by step instructions on how to use the shotgun effectively.

1) get good at close range fast-paced fighting
2) Play in a game with 8+ people- CTF is preferred
3) Get a shotgun and some ammo
4) If you want extra awesomizing, get a pistol or plasma rifle too
5) stealthily make your way to the enemy base.
7) Run on top of said base
8) Use both the shotgun (or a combination of the plasma and shotgun) and melee to wipe out anybody who spawns on top or comes up after you.
9) Heal yourself as needed
10) Waste enemy sniper bullets when bored

Note: The effecacy of this strategy depends on your skill and that of your opponents. Bad breaks are possible and expected upon occasion.

Burn, pillage, destroy. Enjoy.
