Shotguns can be one shot kills


(X-Frame) #81

So if I fire a shotgun blast with the muzzle inches away from someone’s head, it should take 2 shots to kill them?

Not even the head, even the back, or chest. Let’s be honest, what would be the point to use a shotgun that already has pathetic range if it doesn’t even one shot someone from a few feet away?

if you can get inches from an enemy’s head, just beat him to death, takes 2 hits


(madoule) #83

OR if you are that close: do the knockdown and shoot him, when downed, wherever you like.

Didn’t Dick Cheney shoot someone in the face with a shotgun? Hows that guy?


(Nail) #85

he’s a lawyer, they always take at least 2 hits to go down

:oppressor:

[QUOTE=madoule;263094]c’mon dude you can’t be serious.
that’s what forums are for: opinions clash! that’s the fun of it and this creates the best discussions. people may get new perspective(s), can share their views and arguement, they even can change their opinions.[/QUOTE]

i can be serious, because this is serious businessasaurus REX. views and discussions on the common goal of satisfaction and enlightened can only occur when that is the common interest of everyone in it. and that is simply not the case when you have people who want to have pub fun vs competitive fun. that will never happen.

[QUOTE=madoule;263094]you said it right there and are absolutely spot on:
but in this case, the exception proves the rule, you are wrong to ask to split the forum IMO in your own interest.[/QUOTE]

and come on, just because i’m one individual from the apparent minority of competitive players does not make it my own interest. i bet you 100 Canadian Tire cash dollars that if they create a place where comp players can speak freely, there would be a lot more people with different views speaking. but it’s like placing Christians with Muslims and asking them to discuss how to get to god…

heck, i bet most’ve the people here even play on xbox’s… would explain the lack of interest in aiming and tracking…


(Weapuh) #89

I’m not really for that analogy but I’d visit that forums because sometimes it’s nice to post where everyone shares pre-conceived ideas. In no way should that seem like segregation just a way to organize discussion. People who don’t care don’t need to visit. But I do agree it’s kind of premature for it’s own section now :).
I lol’d at the subtle insult that it should be at the official Bethesda forums :slight_smile:

Yay, another member of the PC master race blesses us with his presence. There was a shortage of elitism here, so thanks for helping to fill the void. :smiley:

Anyway, back to shotguns. However many hits it takes to kill someone with a shotgun, they do need to be the best weapons within their limited range. There would be no point in using a shotgun if you could kill someone just as quickly by emptying your SMG mag into them at close range.

They don’t have to be OHK cannons, basically, but they do need to able to compete with the other weapons. From the videos I’ve seen, however old that footage was, SD seems to have everything pretty much perfectly balanced. If there’s anything I’m not worried about being broken, it’s everything in Brink.

console players are just as elitist. The difference being, PC elitism is based off knowledge and/or superior hardware, console elitism is based off ignorance.


(Mad Hatter) #92

I must have missed it, because I haven’t once heard anything elitist from a console gamer. I’ve heard the ignorance, yeah, but I haven’t seen them talk down to the PC crowd saying they have the superior skills/hardware/whatever. “Oh look, he wants [insert thing here] nerfed/added/removed, he must be a PC player. That would explain why he wants whatever it is he wants.”

We get it, PC’s can hold more, do more, and have better graphics. But do you have to make snide comments about the McDonald’s crowd while you eat at the Olive Garden?

Not you specifically H0RSE, of course. You’re much more fair and objective than most. Anyway, mini-rant over. Steam vented. Laid back attitude restored.


(Herandar) #93

I disparage McDonald’s every chance I get, but it is an old grudge I have…

There is a fine distinction between an elitist and a console “fanboi”. They are even worse than the elitists. Blind devotion to a multinational corporation. Ugh.


(tokamak) #94

Varying opinions? eewww gross!

Seriously, it’s always the tiny minority that screams for more representation and have a disproportionate amount of attention and resources spent on them.


(madoule) #95

i lost, ig vie up, i can’t argue any more against you! here are your winning punches…

that one hit me in the family jewels

that one hurt my brain! FREE SPEECH FOR COMP PLAYERS!..

that one … i didn’t understand…

competition forums should always be at the official site, bigger audience for them. it’s where the clans list is, and there’s already a competition thread there

plus, I find most comp players annoying


(X-Frame) #97

Care to elaborate on this? I’m very, very interested in this theory …


(Nail) #98

well, you know, forums of developers that have never released a console game are always populated by xbox players

years of whinefire and the notion they’re the reason shooters are popular
like I said, less than 2% of the players but make up 80% of the whining
