Make it pump-action,or semi-auto with slow rate of fire.

An auto-shotgun is just ridiculous. Stick with the pump-action.

shotgun is good but my question is:
what type is...like a XM1014 or a M3? http://cs-mariupol.narod.ru/images/xm1014.jpg and http://www.shortyusa.com/cart/images/1405.jpg

in less words...automatic shotgun or not?

Shotgun is really good for cleaning up enemy inside a building or taking over some of they're defenses and such.And a melee would be good too,The melee should be like on Halo they use gun as they're melee but it will took 2 hits a kill an enemy and the pickaxe should be a melee weapon too.That's just my suggestion for the melee.

A speed boost... I don't really know about that. I mean, the shotgun is meant for close-range, for sort of bunker-clearing corner camping playstyles. We shouldn't upgrade it more than it needs to be. I guess I'd be cool with it, though, if it were just a small boost.

The only way shotgun would work is if it came with a speed boost.

Lol.

Since the rifle and SMG are having their accuracy increased, the shotgun is going to be even more useless. Still excited for it though, since we've already gone over the fact that it's useless, but fun.

سيروا تقودو يا ولاد القحاب is a boller
i think that a melee could probably be added in pretty easily, anyway. i am not sure, but it does not seem like it'd be very hard to implement

but a shotgun will be alright, i think it will be well made

Shotguns in urban maps will certainly be forces to be reckoned with.

Shotgun+Favela map=HOLY SHIT SO MUCH FUCKING AWESOME VOU JOGAR O TEMPO TODO ESTOU FALANDO OUTRA LINGUA.

Also,when the update comes out,I have to get other gun skins for my actual weapons?

^ Wow, so? who cares? camping is already a big part of this game, camping the intel with the shotty is gunna be fucking awsume!

personally i think the shotgun is just going to encourage camping

@Khan: Why the 1887? The 1897 was the more popular model.

I also just did an 1873 since I was on the subject of Winchesters, and I have to say it looks pretty sweet.

For the shotgun, I already have a SPAS-15 skin and a Model 1887 skin.

I'm making some new shotgun skins myself, and improving my old ones as well. I'll probably be testing them in-game a lot as the rifle while I wait for the update to come out.

Not really sure how I feel about the shotgun as far as gameplay is concerned... but I'm supporting it getting added because it was the leader in honest votes in the poll.

I made an epic shotgun skin with 16 versions for that upcoming shotty but can't release it yet cuz i don't know how the shotgun file will be called.

Also, can't wait.

@Beret: Some people just 'hafta learn the hard way. And the shotgun is probably not for practicality as much as it's entertaining to blast someone away with it.

@HODOR: Now that's just imbalanced. No. :/

Fingers crossed for auto-shotgun :P

I was never really in favour of a shotgun, but I'm glad we're getting it, so everyone can stop complaining, find out how useless a weapon it is, and we can all get over it and start on the actual important improvements. Anything that speeds that up is a good thing.

Im bumping this to stop ppl making multiple threads about a similar topic.

Here's hoping for a pistol in .56

I used to be highly against a shotgun (for obvious reasons), but I'm actually excited for one now. I'd like to see what buckshot tracers look like in AoS.

I still want a proper machine gun or an assault rifle though.

Yes, Devas is obviously a 12 year old because he pointed something out.

~SHOTGUN RAIN~

To wrap this thread up, "Whine." "Complain?"

"Oh, okay, new weapons. Well lets try to make the most of it!"

The end!

This is great, can't wait till then.

Lol

gih school?...

@Devas,

That requires effort, which I cant be bothered with. Ill just assume your a 12 yr old american.

And you dont "back trace" an IP address.
