Shotgun - What does everybody think?

by **TheHerk** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 16:52

So, I suspect the shotgun has been totally nurfed because of a few individuals that were getting killed slightly more than usual. If this is not the case, fine, but if it is this is the single lamest maneuver I've seen on PS1.

See one of the things I've always enjoyed about this game is that, instead on having a list of weapons which get better by gaining levels or by gaining more, there are several weapons you are given a choice from based on their qualities.

I can understand nurfing the panzer. It seems a bit absurd to have an entire group of people heading into war with shoulder launched rockets. Especially since they are just as effective at long distance. The shotgun however actually has disadvantages.

What happened yesterday is: I finally started leaning. Because of this, I was able to jump out from corners in hallways and waste SMG holders with the shotgun. Well, so. If you are in a hallway a shotgun is useful. If in the open, it is less useful, and at distance it is almost certain death.

The fact is, instead of getting rid of it, perhaps we should adopt new tactics for fighting against it. Here is an example. Back up! Engage a shotgun wielder from a distance, and watch him die.

Does anybody really think this should be turned off? I'm guessing it is just the people with extreme accuracy with the SMG's. If so, why don't we just limit everybody to having SMG's. No pistol, no panzers, no flamethrowers, no sniper rifles, and certainly no stens. That just seems ridiculous to me.

Ehm, so the shotgun is on or off at PS1?
If its off i dunno why its off cause it was always on when the server was running NQ, perhaps a little config accident.

Jaymod is just active since yesterday so there will always be a few 'bad' config settings in the beginning but you are already aware of that

Better send a little PM to Damelon or Icefrost

Oh I don't want this to be mistaken as me being angry. It is more of me stating my feeling on the matter while the new configs are still dynamic. Soon, they will be done. I think a poll is the way to go, not PM, because the opinion of the crowd can be seen this way.

For the record, it isn't off. Limited though.

I like the shotgun so I wouldn't like to see it out of the server. I say keep it.

PS1 is Jaymod?
wow i didnt see
vote yes

by **Mobius** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 9:00

Voted yes it should stay, it isn't a heavy weapon so it doesn't bother me

by **Lurtz** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 10:30

Shotgun should stay and as wrote Mobius that isnt an heavy weapon
like panzer or venom. Dunno why but I think shotgun on jaymod
is a bit more better than in NQ ( shoot ---> hit target )

Awesome. I will say it is pretty frustrating to walk around a corner and get shot in the face with a shotgun. Lets be serious though, I'd rather walk around the corner to TheHerk's shotgun than Damelon or Foo's SMG.

lol its always click and shoot with those weapons,

Well its not that hard to kill someone with a SG cause when you keep your distance you can easily give him some lead and he's dead cause the SG got to much spreadfire (?). When you in a small hall and a guy with a shotgun comes after you when you cant keep your distance your dead. buts a part of the game if you just ahnd out one shotgun per team it wont be a very big problem for me

I don't think only one is a good number, but truthfully I'd love it if everybody carried shotguns. Sure if you get surprised, you are dead, but if you are careful SMG's dominate shotguns. It is just like Scuba-Steve said, back up.

why oh why..

we must think of some kind of : ANTI medic ..

why only think about youreself.. if there's a way to stop the rambo medics that kill all other we have to applause it...

and panzer oke , many ppl can't handle it..

Flamer i agree same but these are good weapons to kill the medics.. dont give them to much power .. the end scores shouldn't be the ppl that do obj negative and ppl that only kill kill kill heal heal heal .. it should be even..

my opinion tough..
