The shotgun's effectiveness in multiplayer games varies depending on the terrain; indoors and in tight spaces, the shotgun is unbeatable (equal to the [[Energy Sword]]). Many players carry the shotgun and a weapon that is very effective at Medium and above ranges such as the [[sniper rifle]], [[Covenant Carbine]], [[M6D]], [[BR55 Battle Rifle]], thus making for a more flexible arsenal. Continuous firing by using the magazine and loading one shell then firing does not affect the rate of fire significantly, prompting a few players to employ a tactic dubbed "shotgun sniping" as suppressive fire across medium-sized maps. On the Internet, many games are shotguns only, with most of these battles being set in the map [[Battle Creek (Level)]]. | The shotgun's effectiveness in multiplayer games varies depending on the terrain; indoors and in tight spaces, the shotgun is unbeatable (equal to the [[Energy Sword]]).
