Forum:Halo 2 shotgun piece of crap?

As we all know from Halo CE the shotgun is the best weapon in that game(or the rocket launcher if you like grunts singing "I Belive I Can Fly" till they hit a rock but this is about shotguns)but in Halo 2 it shoots random amounts of bullets in random directions and hit nothing sometimes I think the H2 shotgun just shoots out a short puff of smoke and flame.I have to be at least 3ft away just to kill a flood.In Halo CE I am able to kill an enemy from across a large room(more accurately grunts jackels and flood).don't get me wrong though the shotgun in Halo 2 is still my favorite short to mid range gun,but now your probobly tired of the paragraph so im gonna let you post stuff now good bye.

sincerly SPARTAN 346

p.s.no negative comments please.I know I am Probobly gonna get some.

I agree, it is not very accurate. HДĿΘFáṆ 14:21, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I know they want it to be realistic, but even from halfway across a reaonably sized room, you'd be able to kill a grunt wit a shotgun in real life. I wish the shotguns acted more like the one in the Halo Graphic Novel that Johnson uses. There's one frame where he fires the shotgun and the comic frame catches it right as the shot is leaving the barrel and they're almost in perfect cylindrical shape.

In multiplayer it doesn't help cuz it has a terrible host advantage cuz it is very lag reliant. You pretty much have to pull the trigger about 10 virtual feet (if you're running head on into someone) before the person in order to get that first shot kill.

GoW got the shotgun physics right. If you've ever played it, you know that even someone 30 ft away from you can still damage you pretty hard with the shotgun, but it takes a good amount of shots to actually get you down. Echelon3 16:47, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

BRING BACK THE HALO 1 SHOTGUN!!!! -- Blemo (Talk) (Contributions) 19:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

HGN shotgun
yeah that graphic novel shotgun would be awesome in H2

Best Weapon?
This is just my opinion but I think the pistol was the best weapon in the game, but I would like to see the Halo 1 shotgun back

The HGN Shotgun
The barrel of the shotgun is smooth-bore BTW. That allows mor maximum spread of bb's at Long range, not short like H2. -- WR A IT H  COMM   CONTRIBS  05:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Flood out the flood? Not any more
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! The Halo2 Shotgun SUCKS BALLS! Seriously, it's the almost the worst change in a weapon EVAR! Sure, it is still good a close, but what of mid? The H1 Shotty worked perfectly at close - mid range, seriously, mutch better than theis piece of crap. I mean, come on all you halo 1 only players (including me) were really suprised to find the range down. BRING THE FIRST BACK, K???!!!

(OH, sorry about the language)

Agreed
The Halo one shotgun was much better, perhaps a little too accurate but still a better representation of a what a shotgun should be like, if you ever get host in multiplayer H2 you will know what the shotgun should be like. Not like that piece of crap non hosts get.
