Poll: Shotguns.

[The Austin]

A shotgun is a mans weapon!
anyone can sit in the back and snipe!
only the brave run directly up to an enimy and needlessly throw away there lives!
MWAHAHAHAHAHH!

Some people like to see the fear in people's eyes from a mile away, I like to smell the fear from a foot away.

I feel the same way.
MWAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

 

[StigmataDiaboli]

I do. Mainly in Halo 3 where I use the hand-held shotgun then follow with a melee. Instakill.

Oh yeah and Gears of War, but thats a no brainer. Everyone uses a shotgun there.

 

[Hyperactiveman]

To be able to survive in close range isn't about luck it's about skill, being quick on your toes and of course being very trigger happy. I use shotguns because yes I do like to get in peoples faces to say hello, your dead. I do a fair bit of camping far away with snipers and other long range weapons being a pussy like most players too though.

 

[Arkzism]

i dont like shot guns... rather use a knife than a shot gun... hell examples.... battlefield knife over shotty, um tf2 fucking bat over the shotgun the scout has. fallout 3 always sell my shotgun and ammo rather use a pistol... um CS its called the noob cannon for a reason, halo.. hell i make using a sniper rifle in close combat an art... seriously i get close but i dislike the shot gun well cept in classic re... but i use that as a wait for it weapon.

 

[stormcaller]

I use my shotguns for long range and my sniper rifles for close-quaters. I also use a Watermelon as a Melee Weapon.

I can't for the life of me figure out why I'm no good at shooters though...

 

[Kriptonite]

I'm guessing that you're not to good at anything but the shotgun are you? Thing is, you don't even have to be good, just aim in the general direction and fire. I'm not going to vote in the poll because I'm good with real weapons, ones that take skill to use.

Yea i use a shotgun for hunting (sabot slugs) and those are accurate within 150 yards. And if you want a tighter spread use a good choke and you can have a 3 inch pellet disbursal at 50 yards

Yeah...see I was referring to games where it takes no skill. Not in real life where is does.

 

[FallenRainbows]

Bias Poll much?

 

[BolognaBaloney]

GIVE US A GOD DAMNED MIDDLE OPTION. why do all the polls have a set ya or nay, I use them maybe once every month unless the time calls.

I'm the one in the back with an m104 sniper rifle killing guys with headshots from across the map saving my teamates and such. I ususally set up in a spot where I can see the objective like a flag or area of defence, and just pick off all the HVT's (High Value Targets)

Because there is no middle option. You either have the guts to look your enemy in the eyes before taking his life (CQC) or you're too terrified to and you don't (LRC).

There's no middle ground in that.

Yes there is, there's also a mid range option. Also, staying further back doesn't make you a coward, it's a different strategy.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Biased poll is biased. You might have well said "All FPS games should be played the way I play them, because only real men play them that way. [ ] Yes [ ] Yes"

I use whatever tactics and weapons best ensure my (and my team's) chances for victory. If that means I carry a shotgun, an assault rifle, a handgun, three feet of razorwire or half of a kumquat, then so be it.

 

[Whistler777]

In Counter-Strike, the only real practical application of either of the shotguns is to use them in cs_office. I like the way CSS handles them, because they require a perfect headshot at medium range to score a one-hit kill.

Spoiler

Y'all niggas be postin' in a troll poll.

 

[Dogstile]

your poll is stupidly insulting to anyone who use's a sniper, just because we don't need to stand directly in front of people with a wide spread insta kill weapon to kill them doesn't mean we're cowards

on topic, no, i don't use shotguns, they're cheap and i don't like them being used against me, so i won't use it against other people

 

[LongAndShort]

Depends on the map/level. Adaption leads to survival

 

[cyber_andyy]

Pft, game shotguns are horrible, yes its a one shot kill, but only at a range of what, 3 feet? Real shotguns have a FAR longer range than that.

Actually, the shotguns in R6V2 were alot better than in other games, although they did go over the other end with you being able to snipe people with them.

 

[bob-2000]

yea, totally, although in some games they suck.

 

[Lemur_Ninja]

I'll use them if I must or I'm out of ammo for other guns.

 

[Flying-Emu]

If the situation calls for it yes. Personally i stick with something a little more medium ranged, fits every situation.

Agreed. A standard-issue rifle is far more versatile and useful in most situations. If you're in close-quarter hallways with tight corners (Really the only place shotguns are any use), simply blind-fire, potshot, or 'nade each corner to clear the room OR just to put the fear of God into 'em.

I'll keep my AR, thanks.

 

[Pegghead]

I use 'em when it's a tightly packed in map or if I'm defending some kind of point. My personal favourite shotgun out of all videogames is the street sweeper. Get the godfather, get a shotgun, get a couple of thousand dollars, find the right guy, buy the number one upgrade for the shotgun and that little beast is all yours. It is quite literally A MOTHERFUCKING MINICANNON!

 

[Zefar]

There is one shotgun that I have liked more than the others.

Crysis shotgun, toggle Fire mode to like sniper shotgun and go nuts. It's just so good. ^^ Killing people on distance with it never lose it satisfaction.

Also Blue Shift shotgun was pretty good because it had a powerful sound to it. Almost blew up my speakers.

 

[A.A.K]

id prefer a Zastava M93 or a DSR-50 sniper rifle?

 

[Federalist92]

Your physk crap that trys to convince people that they love shotguns aint going to work.
Just because you put that cowerdly sounding thing on the end doesnt mean people arnt going to say they dislike shotguns.
I prefer assault rifles with underslung grenage launchers.
I'm also sure there will be some snipers and heavy weaons dudes here who will pick no despite that sentence on the poll.
