then i should be handicapped
but i can see where both of you are coming from, OP thinks the shotguns suck have **** range because he is trying to use them on huge maps, you think the shotguns are cheap because you get killed from them on small maps
heres my take 1 on this, from having used the weapons and from having died by them i have come to these conclusions
1. if your gonna use shotguns on huge maps, get ready to go negative
2. if you use shotguns on small maps, get ready to put on your TRYHARD PANTS cause your gonna drop at least 20 kills
Considering how fast you die in this game shotgunners dont stand much chance in huge maps, heck even in FREEFALL there are so many long sights and its one of the smallest map
and you all are forgetting one big factor, because these shotguns dont have the range of MW3/BO2 shotguns we have to be super close to the enemy to kill them, trust me when i say that
as for the shotguns
FP6- this is the strongest shotgun, so its fair they even it out with horrible range (even then this is my favourite shotgun)
TAC-12- its a hit and miss, because its a well balanced weapon, good power with range so they gotta make sure you get some hitmarkers
MTS- this shotgun is so weird lol, i just cant figure out why its so horrible
BullDOG- this is probably the most hated shotty because it is the closest to the Striker from MW3, where players just went around spraying and praying
do the shotguns need BUFF/NERF? no you just need to choose the maps you will use the shotguns on correctly or put on over kill, run around with long range weapon and when going in buildings or close range take out the shotty, HAPPY KILLING
