I just wanted to say something to the community and that is to ask if we can stop all this "shotgun noob" comments and attacking someone for using the shotgun. It is VERY poor sportsmanship and it is getting out of hand in my opinion. At least I am getting tired of seeing it. I don't complain when I get sniped across the field so I would like the whole shotgun issue to come to an end and we all act like mature people and accept it as part of the game because that is what it is.
Like any other weapon to be at the top of the kill ratio it takes skill. Noobs with shotguns are NOT controlling this game. I play probably a couple hours everyday and have done so for years. If I am good with the shotgun it is because I practiced it and I earned anything I get with it along with anyone mastering the smg or sniper or whatever. Different strategies come with different weapons, so true in the real combat scene as well. So can we stop the childish crying and complaining when you get splattered?
PS Most of my shotgun kills are on the second shot and not splatters. If you have not killed me with your smg/AR whatever before I get the second round pumped into my shotgun then well you deserve to die as I have successfully evaded you and your weapon of choice. So can we stop being a bad sport about it? Thanks
Can I make a couple more observations and that is I have been mowed down from far off with my useless shotgun in my hand to return long range fire as often if not more often than I have splattered anyone. Really nothing wrong with the shotgun, if it were a noob gun then noobs would be controlling the board and they are not.
Leave it alone fella's is my recommendation. You can not mess with nature without upsetting the balance somewhere else. Eliminate the shotgun and the noob that might be able to score with it and what will happen is you will have created more camper sniper noobs who never go for the flag but just camp and that changes the fun of the game. One thing about shot gunners is that they are movers, they engage the enemy and that is one thing that makes this game fun! It is also one thing that keeps people from camping out in packs at the bases. A shotgunner can clean up when campers got their eyes stuck in the scopes all base camped and all. That needs to be the case or the game is going to become a campathon.
I am open to help test anything if anyone wants me to.
