I find mag7 actually the 2nd worst shotgun. I like NOVA and SAWED-OFF much more.

And I love it mostly because of people who cant stand being shot like a piece of... pigeon.

Just deal with the fact shotguns are viable too. On long range (A site on dust2 for example) they are mostly useless. Yes, you rarely headshot somebody on a longer distance, but thats a rare case.

I played so many years only with M4/AK47 (and I was successful with it), but I love the game now even more mainly because of the viability of other weapons (shotguns, MAC, NEGEV) - oh, how I love these.

MAG7 is godlike. I don't know what you're on about.

I actually like the sawed off more. Nova and Xm1014 seems kinda weak tho'.

Also, no. Keep a lot of diff. weapons viable, this is what I like more in this version of CS, SMG's and Shotguns are actually viable, and Deagle is no longer the best pistol.

NOVA is pure win, you can say whatever you want :). Not mentioning mag7 look is ridiculous OLOLOL! Sawed off, on the other side, makes you feel like freaking DUKE NUKEM killing pigcops and sh....

Let me get this : You're pissed off by a weapon > bang, it should be taken out of the game
Nice.
Why is that ? Because you get killed by people who use this gun too much ?

What about practicing a bit so you will get used to it man ?

You're welcome.

What pistol would you say is the best then? The deagle is easily my favorite. Ive gotten more kills with it than most other weapons tbh. Never leave home without it :D

The p250 is actually quite good, I like it almost as much as the old usp, even though it looks really ugly in comparison.

This complaint about the Mag-7 is as pointless as all the other complaints in CS history against the AWP. Frankly, none of these complaints have any merit as CS, compared to other FPS games, is actually arguably the most balanced and skill-based game out there. This is backed up by the fact that CS tournaments are virtually the only FPS tourneys out there.

Many people level the same "if you can't aim with an M4/AK you use...." argument against the P90, but fact of the matter is, while shotguns and smgs are strong in their own ways, the AK and M4 beat them in many others. Versatility hands down trumps specialization. Being able to one-tap or short-burst your targets from pit, then push up and burst while you approach A from long, and then controlled spray some guy who rushes up from CT spawn to stop you, is a good thing. With a Mag-7, you're looking at dying within the first few seconds, or being trapped at long doors or pit by players with weapons capable of engaging targets further than 10 metres.

If all else fails, look to professional competitive CS play. Players make use of what they can when it's preferable to do so. If you've lost pistol round or even a buy-round and feel like taking a risk, you can buy a shotgun, hug corners, and hope to cut your losses. The same applies to smgs for similar weapon-based restrictions for engaging your opponents, being significantly reduced effectiveness at long and very long ranges.

And CS competitive play is still dominated by the same line-up of primary weapons. The AWP is still hands-down the only one of the scoped-rifles most competitive play sees use of, and the AK and M4 are still the core of a team's load-out on buy-rounds.

Whilst this has commonly been viewed as a fault in the game, it really isn't. Players go for these weapons because they have uses, and for the situation, these weapons are optimal. There's never been a buy-round in competitive play where a team says "Ok guys, let's all buy shotguns so it's an easy win for us this round" simply because this is not the case. Shotguns are not blatantly overpowered, they just feel that way if you choose to/ end up engaging a player thus equipped on their terms.

p250 and deagles are all equally good. Just depends on your style.

Back on topic: Mag7 is good, but it shouldn't be removed. As Artyom mentioned above, it adds diversity.

mag 7 best shotty since it is really easy to use almost like COD weapons. But shotguns are so situation specific it is hard to say it is overpowered compared to other weapons.

CT - P250, hands down
T - Tec9, hands down

Because if you're on an eco round, you just want to put as many shots out in the hopes that one of them gets flung into somebody's face.

Why did you revive a 3 year old thread?
