Is it just me or do shotguns seem a bit overpowered
I have been playing the game for a while, and well those shotguns seem op mainly the auto ones!
They have amazing range, they stun up the ass, and on top of that they have a never ending ammo capacity.
To put the cherry on top with all the movment and mobility in the game it is so easy to just hip fire to win. or maybe im crazy and noob who knows

If ONLY The range where adjusted they would be alright :steamhappy:

The flinch they cause is what's so annoying about them.

Just grab the brecci and sxhit on any player...its quite retaxxxrded how op the shotguns are.

They just need to make the shotgun ammo a slug instead of 00 buck shot
The lever-action and the pump shotgun are very underpowered, comparing to previous CODs.
From some odd reason, the damage of Argus and KRM is just unstable.
Golding them was quite a challange at the beginning.
And seriously, when I see someone using the Argus and KRM, I just switch to fists and punch them to face. Those guns aren't a challange at all when you face them.
But Brecci and Haymaker? No effort required to demolish. Complete skill compensators.

Well, since the most favorite map is made for shotguns, I do understand where you get that impression.

However, Brecci or Haymaker has no chance against Vesper.

It's not homophobic for the last 15 years gay has meant bad as well , it also means happy not that being gay is bad just another meaning for the word , gaymaker sounds worse as it makes it sound being shot by it would make you gay , which I wouldnt like ,doesn't make it homophobic though

Welcome to 2016, where people get offended from insults towards virtual weapons

haymakers rapid fire is op range is fine 3-4 hit is fine, brecci has ridiculous range and damage at 2-3 hit long range. brm is a 1 shot deal up close and medium range it is actually fairly balanced due to the time between shots and its medium range. i havent used the argus much so i cant speak on it i do get killed by it pretty often.

The KRM doesn't have the one hit range I would expect but it is a hipfire monster, the Argus is a beast if you ADS with it but useless hipfiring.

I must be the only one who didn't like the Haymaker. I hated getting gold camo for it and my kd/r with it was the lowest out of any other gun. It has crazy range but it's a 3 to 4 hit killer even in close quarters which makes it useless in the range a shotgun is supposed to wreck..and a vesper melts you with this gun.

The Brecci is the most annoying, it's 2 hit kill range is too far and its 3 to 4 hit range is too far.

If they had a slug attachment for either of these semi auto guns I would have used those in a heartbeat.

Going heads up against a single player using any of those guns is not difficult if you know how to stay out of a shotty range or if you know how to counter a shotgun (jump/move, don't run directly towards them). Going against a swarm of players using them is harder but I always have a spam class ready to switch to (vesper or brecci).

bang,bang,bang,bang,bang thats all you hear on some games, they should make them, on occasion, blow up killing the operator lol when I use them I couldn't hit a pig in a ginnel.(narrow passageway English term) the vesper needs a nerf aswell see vid.All round gun balancing needs to be worked on and maybe a little more time to get out of the way of grenades.

yup vesper will put an end to those annoying shotties as long as you can duck and dive.

Yes the flinch is a problem and in range they are a one shot kill, even if it takes 10 shots, cause once they hit you it's like being stunned and they just keep pumping. It's the biggest FAIL in the game. If they ever have dedi-servers then they must add the ability to restrict weapons... but I doubt that will ever happen. They keep using that lie to get PC players. And no, the Vesper is not the answer.
