The stupid thing won't kill from more than 2 feet away. Unless you are a master at evading shots or your opponent is retarded, it's best to camp with the shotgun.

The worst shotgun in any Halo IMO.

Anyone with half a brain will outshoot you before you get the chance to shoot/melee them. even something as crappy as the AR or even a Plasma Pistol can take you out first if you're spotted soon enough.

This is the kind of idiot who you can just run up to

Good thing most Reach players are retards.

I don't even use the Shotty much but it seems to add a different element but I also mean run n gun in the sense you run into an area you like and run back out when you get a kill then find another spot
Different type of run n gun or just beast mode it

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

You should not be able to spawn with it in Invasion. Should be pickup only.

The shotgun is only considered as a noob weapon to people who can't achieve perfections with them.

Conversly you could say that shotguns are the reason why noobs get perfection, but then I'd point out that I killed a noob who was going to get a perfection, who also had a shotgun. A weapon doesn't make a noob good, it makes a noob slightly more dangerous, but definitely not overwhelmingly difficult to kill.

Personally the only noob weapon I find in Reach are the overpowered grenades for the simple reason that they have the exact blast radius as the Halo 3 grenades, when the Halo Reach Spartans in comparison to the Halo 3 Spartans cannt jump or run without the aid of sprint nearly as fast, hence, grenades are slightly more effective against targets. That and the Halo Reach grenades explode almost instantly (or explde soon enough to disreguard any evasive maneuvers aside from mashing the good 'ole Armour Lock button if you happen to have spawned with that crutch of a get-away-from-death-free-card ability. Inb4 huge hate discussion over an opinion)

I use the shotgun a lot. Proud of it too.

This guy has it right.

I wish the shotgun had the effective range that it had in Halo:CE.

In Reach, I call it the "corner cannon".
