Destiny isn't a place for competitive multilayer though. It's fun but incredibly unbalanced.
The only reason shogun and snipsies are overused is because there's no other weapon to compete.
Plus, if you're listening to your whining 15 year olds who don't know shit then you're failing. Fucking bungo
>>323671378
Shotguns aren't useless unless you're shit.
If you want range, use a different gun.
>>323671378
But shotguns aren't shit, as you said they're usually aoe meelee weapons.
They're from useless.
>>323671635
melee weapons in FPS games are so useful
>>323671709
Idk why they made combat knives in COD.

I mean yea they're not meant to be like rifles, but you generally (depending on the shotgun) have reliability up to 50feet give or take. It's not a straw with a spitwad, it's a fucking shotgun.

5:50, you can see how tight the spray pattern stays even at that distance. It loses some power as the travel time increases abit but as far as range and grouping shotguns are fairly accurate.

I don't think the complaint is that they're 'unrealistic', it's that realistic shotguns with decent range are fucking OP in most games where the maps aren't a mile wide
>>323671221
I mean. Most games have rifles that can't hold a bead at 100m so it's not like you shotgun faggots are the only ones getting fucked up.

It's the same reason why snipsies require you to hit someone in the head to kill them or why automatic weapons shoot paper mache bullets despite being similar caliber as marksmen rifles.
Because real life isn't balanced and games try to be while also imitating real life.

>>323672294
Skeet shooting and snipe hunting wouldn't be much of a sport if the pellets spread out after 15 fucking meters.
>>323673389
I think that's a fair argument, it's just the realistic behavior with a touch of fantasy that gets me sometimes. Like, I shouldn't be able to use my snipsies if I'm getting pegged by something else.
Also, quickscoping

>>323672294
Shotguns are considered dangerous at up to 40 yards m8.

Thank God for Insurgency.
Best shotguns I've seen in a long time.
Shotguns are meme-guns just like revolvers.
Impractical for most purposes and only used by rednecks to show off their meme ammo on youtube.

that's because the majority of games don't handle fatal/ flesh wounds or armor well and assume that if anything so much as grazes your head or torso you instantly drop dead

>firing shotguns from the hip makes you feel like a badass
Bonus points if you can kick down a door before you start shooting a double barrel
Rifles also become unrealistically inaccurate at like 500 meters.
I don't hear you bitching about it, though.
It's simply a side effect of FPS gunfights being short range. So all guns have to have short range to compensate.
It's just more noticeable with shotguns.
>>323675218
>being a millennial
>calling someone else a millennial as an insult
Are you retarded?
Do you not know what a millennial is?
>>323675382
Will we ever get a long range shooter?
>>323675042
Shotguns are good for firing specialized ammo like lock destroyers (whatever they're actually called), non-lethal ammo, etc. They're versatile, but they're more of a police weapon.
>>323675024
Shotguns are objectively a poor choice in Insurgency.
>>323675559
Arma seems long range, too bad it's more like trying to remote control a combat robot than play a game.
>That feel when no games use slugs
Rifled slugs are accurate out past 100 yards.
>>323671221
I think range isn't much of an issue in most games now, it is there retarded idea of how little damage a shotgun should do. Every shooter I have played has shotguns set up where you can survive even a point blank shot, when anything for about 15-20 feet should kill.
>>323675402
wouldnt it be ironic is it was a post-millennial trying to use it as an insult?
>>323675647
I meant that shotguns are done well in Insurgency.
It's only realistic that they aren't stronger than assault rifles, save some niché situations.
That only makes using them more satisfying.
>>323675559
>sit behind a cover shooting at shit you can't see or hear kilometers away
>raise your head and get instakilled
Sounds like fun.
Also, another issue is grenades. Standing 10 meters away from an exploding grenade is a-ok in video games, while in real life fragments would kill you.
>>323676048
Ah, I see. That makes sense.
>>323672167
Fine realistic flamethrower incoming:
Heavy as absolute fuck, fuel has it burn for 10 continuous seconds at most, to refuel you need to take off or have someone else do it, and it's a giant target that takes up your center of mass that explodes in one shot.
>>323671437
Shotguns were utterly obnoxious in Destiny multiplayer.
>>323675647
>Shotguns are objectively a poor choice in Insurgency.
How interesting, because shotguns are also a poor choice in RL.
If you are in the distance to use a shotgun you did something wrong. The only exception being in those trench and house-to-house battles in WW2, but then people died like animals when the battle got that close.
>shotty in game
>have to get up close to use it
>cant throat fuck your enemy before shooting
honestly why are games so fucking lame
>>323676191
No, they were fine, it was just piss poor map design that encouraged it's use. Plus players have this thing where they want to get close for some fucking reason, then rage about shotguns.
>>323675861
It probably was in fact.
It explains the stupidity.
>>323676271
>If you are in the distance to use a shotgun you did something wrong.
Something like a carbine is still better even at short range.

If we're still talking about Insurgency, I like to use Shotguns to lay down suppressive fire at medium distances. You're more likely to hit something with the spread.

>>323671221
iirc it's because shotguns would be the undisputed best gun ever in every game they're in if they had their fully realistic range, since most encounters are relatively close range.
>>323671221
