NO!!!!!!!
That only means that the few who wanted a shotgun have been the most vocal about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM 100% AGAINST A SHOTGUN

An "infinite ammo" melee weapon is needed and would be much more fun to use!!!
Or an assault rifle! Anything else! BUT NOT A SHOTGUN!!!!! D:

Pistol would've been nice, as would melee attacks. Shotgun could be good though.

melee? you fucking kidding me? then enemy would just walk backwards and you would never be able to hit them in the 2 secs it takes to unload a clip in your face!

AND on top of it all, ben ignored my suggestion about implementing a dildo into the game >:(

It's called attack them from behind (innuendo not intended).

Keep the dildo for your clan.

Melee would be great once you your out of ammo or for sneaky attacks.

@Devas, I ASSURE you, youd never be able to kill them with a melee weapon unless it is a 1 hit kill, they'd just back peddle and shoot your ass to pieces.

"AND on top of it all, ben ignored my suggestion about implementing a dildo into the game >:("

WTF did I just read?

I wanted a melee but then i cant say shotgun rain!!!!!!!!

@Khan,

well, I had an idea about implementing a dildo based aspect of combat into the game, using a similer run and gun system to...well any FPS, like CoD.

I'm actually pretty OK with that decision.

Why use it as a gun? Do it like they do in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and make it a melee weapon!

Nah, it'd be awesome to slice snipers' throats from behind in a bunker.
Or tunnelndiggers from behind.

@Khan,

By run and gun, I ment it can be used quickly and on the move, maybe I wasnt clear enough xD.

It would include an animation of bending over the opponent...and...well you can see where this is going ;D.......

I like shotguns.Still prefer a LMG,but,I can deal with it.NO I CANT HOLY SHIT GOING TO KILL MASELF

shotgun rain! haters will be kurt cobained

shotgun is the rapist weapon thats why i voted for it

Hooah. Shotgun rain FTFW!

yah big z

i rhatar have the sniper but a shotgun is cool

would rather have melee, but atleast it sounds like rifles getting its old accuracy back.

no one wants melee

I think we can strike a nice balance if I tune the rifle for long range, the SMG for medium range, and the shotgun for face blasting

At least its going to be a close range weapon.

BOOM, are you doing this on purpose or do you really have mental problems?

The post just above yours says how would melee weapons would be better, and you have the balls to say that "no one wants melee"?

That, and the fact that you voted for shotguns, really lead me to believe that you do have mental problems.

im high

The start I agree,but the part that someone haves mental problems just because wants a shotgun is a bit exaggerated.Just 'cause it fits the playing style of someone dont mean this one have a problem. :D

The 2nd part was partly a joke, and partly because most of the people who claim to have voted for shotguns sound stupid. (read this thread for proof)

Hell yeah, shotty FTW!! :D

im just kidding i just did not want melee
and when does it come out 0.55
