Well, I'm probably one of a minority group which were confident with the 1.0 settings (with all consequences which includes also a dominance of the smg over severall weapons) and - after a long time of adapting - also with the settings of 1.1. I don't deny that the new settings of the shotty was for a longtime shotgunner like me quite helpfull (and in my eyes a good revenge for a lot of kills by smgs, ARs and at least Snipers over the years). On the other hand my enemies learned the use of protection, the knife and at least of the akimbo, which is in my eyes more used than ever now.
With the newest settings (beta 1.1.0.5) the shotgun is nearly useless now imo, its castrated. I will miss the going into infights (like sg vs smg), cause (nearly?) every other weapon is superior to this. The smg seems to have less recoil now, therefore a lot of players will prefer this weapon and making it to the #1 noob weapon again. And also the AR seems to have less recoil :(.
Well, imo this whole balancing stuff has more ruined then helped.
