m only effective strategy is using my SMG as my primary weapons and if there is classes i switch to shotgun for close combat engagements

yeah don't remove it

The heavy machine guns in Day of Defeat are great weapons, but they're not overpowered. Think about it, it would fit in perfectly with the WW1 theme of the game.

someone doesnt know how to keep their distance

Nope. Nope. Nope. Pick up an M60 in black ops and kill yourself.

... then again, ben ought to remove the shotgun and replace it with a heavy machine gun. Powerful with a high fire-rate but very inaccurate!

I think the shotgun is perfect. No change needed.

Shotguns don't need to be removed, just rebalanced. The trouble is that they're powerful, but their significant spread makes it very difficult to kill anything beyond 10 meters. This reduces their purpose to insta-pointblank-headshots-from-around-the-corner and spawn killing.

IMO, the range of the shotgun needs to be increased and its damage reduced to improve its usefulness and balance.

Lol I don't just spawn kill! I usually use shotguns with squads to get that far through the map :P

Mhm, just spawncamping is kinda stupid in my opinion

Lol I am pretty good as well. When Im in my A game I can do alot of damage. Really good for spawn camping :D

^ I'm pretty bad-ass with a the shottie, so leave it here

Um tom no. They are actually for people who know how to use them.

nope.avi

no.

Shotguns are way too overpowered, and used by too much faggots. Replace it with a real sniper, or a mountable weapon or something! The shotgun is a piece of shit.
