Should the Halo 3 shotgun be more long ranged and more powerful?

Or is it fine the way it is?

For all of you that are looking at this topic look at One One Seven's pic's.

Very true.

More like Halo 1: this is not fine. (And it's so unrealistic it's hilarious)

I think it should be chrome again. And, have a more conical projectile path.

No from a range you can kill in 2 shots, chest shot is instant kill. I normally do not use it though. I prefer an smg and plasma pistol.

I think it needs to be more consistent, but still fair. It also has to be changed so it at least fires the same number of bullets each time. It doesnt make sense as it is now.

It's simple to fix:

Increase the projectile count to 16.
Make the projectiles do more damage
Make it so at 15-20 feet, 8-10 of the shots are in the reticle; severely reduce the spread

Actually I realized something.

If bungie were to actually increase the range and strength of the shotgun then the sword guys would be done for.

You could easily kill them if they lunged at you.

With the shotgun in halo 2, it's a bit more difficult to do so.

The shotgun in HALO: CE was more realistic.

That's what railguns are for...

Yes, make it more like the Halo shotgun. The Doom 3 shotgun is a good'n too.

The halo shotgun would be better than than the halo 2 one, but, It would nevr work in Halo 3 unless the hitboxes were made smaller and there was less auto-aim. Something in between those shotguns, like something similar to the doom shotgun, would work just fine.

I think the Halo 2 shotgun is perfectly fine. The Halo 1 shotgun was way too powerful... the Halo 2 shotgun is balanced. Keep in mind, the Chief is wearing Mjolnir armor, you aren't fighting regular people.

Balanced my arse.... even when you're host it lacks the range of the previous shotgun, off host it's wildly unpredictable and too weak, and under high latency it has marginally more effect than a feather duster. It should be more powerful than the sword close range. Mjolnir shmolnir, an 8-gauge shotgun could could go through a rhino.

I missed the pump action required by the Halo: CE shotgun if you completely emptied the tubes. That was cool.
