You people who say the Shotgun is "supposed to be that short ranged" obviously don't know anything about a shotgun and/or never have fired an actual one before. There are some things I can't say, because it would be a threat-but it has to do with you standing in the middle of a field while I demonstrate with a shotgun that it works quite well from afar.
If it's so "short range" like "how it is in Halo 2", then why are Shotguns used in hunting? Wouldn't the game flee by the time you run up 2 feet beside them to fire? If shotguns are really that short range like it is in Halo 2, then how does Dick Cheney think his hunting buddy is game and pelted his face with his shotgun? Fact: Shotguns do work at medium-ranges(and for huge 8 Gauges?). It may or may not be enough to kill, but it definately does some damage and puts the target in a world of hurt.
The Elite Sniper is right.
