Shotguns - argh… I loved the shotguns in Q2/3 (as a short-range finishing weapon, or a quad-whore rampage) but they’re too powerful - if someone gets near you with one there’s no way to avoid the instakill - even kiting doesn’t work very often. I’d say 60-70% of my deaths are due to shOPguns (prove me wrong ECHO ;))

Have to say, 9 times out of 10 I despise shotguns in shooters. I don’t see a reason for improving their range, after all, the best tactic for killing a shotgunner is keeping your distance, I don’t think that should be taken away from any game.

Anyway, isn’t it a bit of a nonsensical mechanic? The spread of a shotgun is down to the gun itself not how you hold it, so “bracing” shouldn’t affect the spread at all, just the kick. And yes, I know the same can be said for ironsights and crouching but at least they have a drawback.

still in reality you can shoot a bird easy on 100 meter with a shotgun

Yes but as Churchill once said, “Reality imba”.

100 meters is almost impossible, about 40 meters with #4 shot is doable

If there’s a guy with cloaking, there can be smart shotguns.

sniping with a shotgun, is this bad company 2?

The spass 12 has full accuracy up to 50m in real life I think
