Why don't you go ahead and try to use the shotgun? See how OP it is...

I guarantee you won't get a kill past 10 meters.

okay I just want explained how this isn't overpower when if any other gun did this we would rage? Just give me valid reasons this helps enhance the fun of the game for anyone besides the people who want "I win" buttons? I have been killed at 15-20M by these guns. It says right on my screen the distance. so ya apparently the Pros with shotguns just blast you from across the room. Mind you I see some pretty terrible shots miss me three times. but still one guy with a Light weapon shouldn't be able to blitz the whole team from behind and drop a entire squad. Unless you have a heavy then he ends up focusing on the heavy and you have a chance to kill him as he reloads. otherwise if your whole teams mediums and lower you all die if he gets the drop. Unless he also has nova knives then he kills the whole team but the heavy and jumps the heavy with nova knives. I don't mind being killed by those though. Those actually make you get point blank. also Gallante commandos with AR and SG are terrifying at mid to short range. They just plain mess you up. I am starting to see why this weapon is hated. its less of a skill weapon and more of a get close and push a button weapon. Those that focus on it and use it pretty much exclusively are really annoying to deal with because it usually comes with a cloak. if you don't spot the person right away hes going to just steamroll you... in a light suit. ya don't mind that my suit is for combat and yours isn't. yours is for hit and run but ya go ahead and just plow through like a heavy with HMG at twice the speed. you know he has that as his job and you don't but ya don't mind him. e.e sorry that turned into a rant but every Weds I see large groups of this crap go down. Its fine after Friday when they all go away because they capped. but shotgun spam every wed and thurs are gettign annoying.
