The reduction of the Shotguns spread is actually counterintuative for its purpose. Shotguns are suppose to be used to hand multiple targets in close range, but in this game, it is an assault weapon, so its spread is decreased. |

Or it could be that they would rather reward skilled shooters with the patience and fine aim required to line up the perfect shot in a fast paced CQC environment.....Rather than rewarding kid's who run up to crowds and spam the trigger hoping to take down a few due wide spread, thereby rewarding bad tactics and lack of skill. If you're not familiar with the latter example go play BF3 with a full auto shotgun..
Actually, increasing the spread would reduce the chance to kill your targets. Since the damage from the shotgun is reliant on how many of the pellets hit your target(s). If the spread is small, it has a better damage concentration, while a wide spread will put out less damage per target because less of the pellets are hitting each target. |

No ****, which is exactly why firing wildly into a crowd would actually work if they increased spread!
But the damage would be decreased. that was my point. The opponents would have plenty of time to fight back unless the shotgun has insane amounts out damage.
