Nah, they'll run you a good $200-$500, I'm guessing.

No STGs are cheap shotguns accually take talents to use in realism.

Good guess.

Anyway, yes I do.

i do
 

I didnt really care about shotguns until one night i was at some clan server and my score was at about 40 or so and i had only about 4 or 5 deaths. I kept killing a few of these clan memebers especially this one particular guy. Then he gets out a shotgun and was able to kill me something like 6 times in a row juust running around and gettin me. My final score ended up being about 40 or so kills and 14 deaths. Since then ive noticed a pattern with many clans. If they are axis they will use their fav weapon. Then when you beat them up, they get mad and grab an stg. WHen that doesnt work then they go to a shotty. Oh well.

On realism servers they aren't a problem, but on non-realism what a bitch!

I played on a "normal" server the other night and it was a nightmare - this guy might as well have been using a sniper rifle. I was having to unload an smg clip into the SOB to put him down (and I'm not a bad shot), yet one shot and I was dead, and not just close range - the length of the hallway in Stalingrad!!! That's ridiculous.

A whole clip compared to one shot from about 25 yards!? Bitch shotgun whore!

lol thanks magnum mabey ill pick that one up looks good any who.
shot guns arnt that cheap cuz if you think about it a shotgunner is
usually insane(like me) and theyll run up to u and try to frag you
but while there running up(unles your in a close combat map) to you
u have a chance to kick there ass and plus they only got 5 shots.
I like to use them but i think there should be a mod where it lowers
the damage and range a bit. cool:

You are the god of witty humor, heh

Anyways, I think they can actually be fun to use in some servers, but very rarely.

*bow*

I just didn't want to add to such a worn-out topic.

i love bringing out the shotgun when some newbie starts spamming with an SMG.

yeah those smgs oOo:

sorry zone i just joind i couple of days ago i didnt know there were so many of these topics i just wanted to get opinions cuz there are so many peeps on aa complaing about shotguns and are there any shotgun mods that lower range and damage?

ohh and zoner i was reading old posts and do u think u could make me a sig?

Hmmm shotguns.......well they certainly aint my favorite weapon and yea i do think there cheap to some extent ,however i will use 1 if the situation calls for it depending on the oposition/what there using and what map.
See a program on them the other day about shotties....not accurate but do SUBSTANTIAL damage upto a range of 50 yards ,that answers (a bit) why he could shoot u the length of stalingrad hallway.
As for 1 of the other comments omg now smg is not a fair weapon? is any? only rifles? would you be happy if you could only use handguns?what a glum game that would be.
Meself im a smg "whore" but i will use shottie/smg/rifle and snipe if and when needed.
Just love it when iv'e shot some1 with shotgun then to be called nOOb,only then to change to smg and kill em again,then rifle.......then......u get the picture.
dooms.

I think the big question is why put in a shotgun in the first place?

there are other cooler, and certainly more military weapons, that could have been put in the heavy slot, for example deployable belt-fed MGs, even the "n00b geschutz" (at least there were more M-1 grenades and gewehrgranate being used in the ETO than freaking shotguns)

ROFL! nice one zone

i aint whining about shotguns cus thats what i use! i just wanted other peoples opinions

Sorry I came off a little harsh, Polska.

Think of it this way: asking peoples' opinions about shotguns on this forum is like going into a microsoft forum and announcing that Windows 95 sucks.

It's just beaten to death.

p.s. - don't ask anyone about rockets, lean-strafing, aimbots, or sniping either.

honestly, who gives a shit?

shotguns are the cheapest fucking weapon ever, i used to own a server that disabled shotties and gave you just 2 rocket rounds. anyone who uses a shotgun is an untalented 12 year old with no friends and rancid body acne :lol: to sum it all up, shotguns were a waste of modeling effort, gimmie a carbine instead!

If ya can't beet the shotties, join em, otherwise I don't give a Frack what anyone uses. Its all fun! eatthis:

If I can't beat the shotties with rifles, I don't join 'em. I mow 'em down with SMGs.

a shotgun is a weapon. it kills people. does it matter if it is a shotgun or a rifle or a revolver or a nuclear bomb or a grenade or a knife or a fist or a paper cut or a M16 or an ak47 or an m1 or a grenade launcher or a bazooka or a smart bomb or a 1000lb bomb or a 17 pound artillery shell or a mortar round

Actually, those are the cheap ones. Good shotguns start around $500 and you can pay thousands for really good ones.

Its actually fun to go in the MOHEast servers (where noobs play), and camp behind the first door to allies spawn.. the hallway where the axis wait, just camp there and you can get the rocket newb that always charges and respawns. Its pretty funny until they pin you down and roll a nade out there. oOo:

I also like to use rockets and camp the control room door... its fun to "lock" it by sitting on the hinges and then when they burst through just shoot straight at the ground and take both of your lives.

At the bridge I go through the wine cellar and up the stairs, I snipe all the axis coming from their spawn and in those houses. hake:

And at the hunt my camping place is obvious... the axis house!! For allies I camp the ladder house until the axis are out of nades and then I wipe them out with my... you guessed it... shotgun!!

oOo:

..and there you go. Shotguns are not, in fact, cheap.

Lol, nice sig, biggrin:

1. Shotguns aren't cheap. They are good CQB weapons, now on a non-realism server they are a complete joke, I've yet to see pellet shot that you can snipe with evil: but apparently EA got their hands on some for this game!

2. SMG's are just as legitimit. If your playing on a non-real server you might as well get used to the spray and pray tactics. Now on ones that use mods like the Ares5 realism mod that incorparate view-recoil that pretty much nullifies those type of players. And for those that complain that the recoil is unrealistic, go out and try running through an entire clip from from a Thompson. The average 175# man's arms will move up way over a foot and a half without resistance(which is basically what your doind when moving your mouse back to re-aim), trust me!

3. For the uber-elite, rifles, bolt action preferably. Nothing as satisfying as waxing a noob in the head who's spamming smg/mg/shotty rounds at you as he's waddling/lean-strafing straight at you.

what a waste, I can get an M-60 for "thousands"

waxing... heh.. i prefer the term wasted... oOo:

If you're playing a TOW game shotties are a good D-fensive weapon, but you'll have to get the drop on the attacker. Any good SmG-er will just stay back and pump-ya full-o-lead.

On the other hand, if your team is on offence and your objective is in a tight spot have your snipers cover the "shottie squad" with a good SMG-er for backup as they rush in...... thats why once you get killed in a match its always a good idea to re-evaluate what weapon you're using, and tactics to win the game.

Thats if you're playing for the TEAM WIN, and not for kill points of course.

my $.02

At one time or another, all weapons have been admonished for their supposed cheapness. Get back to enjoying the game. Damn. mad:

He speaks the truth, I've been told my mauser was cheap cry:

A custom made, fitted, competition M-60?? [img]http://216.40.249.192/mysmilies/cwm/cwm/silly.gif[/img]

Good auto loaders go for $700-1200 and nice over/unders start around $700 and can get as expensive as you like. A nice bronwig O/U is probably 1500-2500, depending on how nice you want it. In two years, I woud rather have that $1500 gun, than a two year old $1500 pc. An M-60 would be kind of cool, but what do you do with it. Its not like you can take it to the range every week or hunt with it. Just my two pennies. [img]http://64.207.13.28/mysmilies/contrib/blackeye/stretch.gif[/img]

I love my Winchester 8 guage, my Grandads, the thing knocks me back a couple feet and knocks my son plumb over. oOo:

LOL - I have been called cheap for the rifles too. Some peope would bitch if you hung them with a new rope.

A NEW rope, oh yeah. Now, if it was an old rope, they'd have no leg to stand on.

I swear that if you ran around like Jason Voorhees swinging a machete, people would call you a blade-n00b or something.

Some people just can't fathom that they got killed in the game. oOo:

I like going to the ppl with 999 ping and lagged at spawn when I'm the last alive, I dance around them crouching and standing (bouncing) until the time is almost up or until he times out. oOo:

Gets some callvote map "expletives" angel:

well some shotty whore (on stock, not realism) refused to admit that he got owned when he missed with five shots and then I pistoled him when he reloaded biggrin:

he was all like "STFU, only bash is an owned", funny shit
