I think some people need to rethink their opinions on shotguns in games

A lot of people complain about the range of shotguns in call of duty MW2..but cmon, most games I've played..for example GTA and Battlefield BC2 ..shotguns kill people from long distances. Idk, a lot of people hate on the game for people who use shotguns like crazy but I think they are fairly accurate compared to the real weapons.

Just as stated above, it's all about the balance. I believe that Infinity Ward has finally pulled off the correct balance on all of their shotguns now, but before... Jesus, it felt like those things could kill anyone from almost any distance. And when I say "things" I really mean the 1887's.

I dunno. I just love the feeling I get from blowing someone's head clean off with the shotgun. But yeah, I wish there were more ammo, too.

For me it's not necessarily the range but the spread. In MW2 the spread seems enormous - if you get slotted with one shot, and it's full on to the torso or head then fair enough, but quite often you seem to get taken out with a shot that should have only winged you (although it's better than it was with the rebalancing).

In games like MW 2 i dont mind the weapon but when your able to dual wield two shotguns balance is thrown out though speaking of MW 2 i swear i hate the current trend of people sitting in corners with shotguns.xxmatt125xx

another good example is Left 4 Dead..the range on those shotguns are way farther than those in MW2MaddenBowler10

so i was thinking, why dont all the people who complain about shotguns in mw2 just put a silencer on them??

Well won't it piss people of when all of a sudden they die because a shotgun buckshot goes 50-100 yards.
