Halo 2's Shotgun should've never been changed from Halo's Shotgun. With a barrel that long, it should not have that kind of horrific spread that you have to be eye-to-eye level to kill something. An 8-Gauge shot should completely dismember Flood, not to fire six shots at it only to have them blow you away from afar with their Shotgun. And you can't call a gun the same make when it's clearly a different model. The Halo 2 Shotgun is shorter, has less rounds, and less accuracte than Halo's Shotgun. The melee and reload rate sucks for Halo 2's Shotgun as well. I used to love shooting Flood in Halo with it, run out of ammo, and do a quick melee bash on them before firing one more round into them. But you can't do that anymore in Halo 2.
In fact, ALL Halo 2's weapons and Halo 3 weapons should be like Halo's weapons, where each is unique and has its own strengths.
