I get the opposite problem full damage at full distance sniper shotty.
idiomentaman111
I had a friend who told me that a shotguns pellets wouldn't make it to the other end of the class room
CandidGamera
Oh come now. If that wasn't so you'd bitch and moan about games not even attempting to simulate bullet drop and wind resistance and the like
DespiseEveryone
Yeah this is the big issue with video game reality. Not that someone with two shotgun blasts to the head continues to function normally.
KoRplussomeletters
"How's that shotgun working out for you, Soviet?"
TheAnonyimous
"We can see concisely where you've been Soviet, by tracking the fucking buildings."
CaptainPuddleboat
What also bamboozles me is that in games with bullet spread that increases with movement, moving somehow also increases the shotgun's spread
Tumtumturu
Not in COD MW2 the spaz was long range af
SaFalken
Remember Sandy Ravage?
BigTruckRegularPenis
Remember the 1887s before the nerf? AKimb 1887s blasting you from halfway across a map.
Dukenewcmb
Unless you're playing battlefield 1 then the shotguns have extreme range
FrankPerkele
How about that automatic shotgun with explosive ammo in BF3? It didn't have any kind of range limit...
Mat95
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7rFGMatKLM I still get nightmares about that gun
lakethatsme
Apparently you don't play battlefield 1. 1ft - 50ft= ded
CMcAwesomeville
Yeah, think that shotgun is called 'Slug', got killed by one , INSANE distance...
QuackQuackQuackQuackQuackQUACK
Original Halo shotgun sent one round perfectly dead center of the spread down range. You could headshot people from across the map with it.
FlatDroid
And then there is the doomsday round in arma.
AZL3GIT
*cough* H1Z1
SengirArchangel
Though we may all complain in PVP that shotguns one shot people, that's is what they're designed to do in reality.
BabouGames
Just shows when gun mechanics in a game were badly coded, making it easier to tell which developers are lazy.
GerryBerries
I read it as horsepower and was confused.
RangeValley
Titanfall 2 has two shotguns (1 primary 1 secondary) like this. Their special feature is only to shoot in a horizontal line.
son0fgrim
remember the realistic shotguns in Rainbow6vegas2 that could head shot you at long range? thats why
MyFavouriteHoodie
We're looking at you Gears of War
ThePantslessWonder
Are you saying I can get closer than an inch to effectively use a sawed off shotgun?
MyFavouriteHoodie
No, that would be impossible. Shorter range than melee please
FreedomEternal
Using the DOOM shotgun in Arma 3
Devils29
I'm looking at you RB6...
Imjustaroundforthepoints
How they really work
Repostofarepostreposted
In destiny's case 1ft and 2ft
RVME
Programmers don't own guns, apparently.
MechaGandalf
all i can think of is doom 3 and command and conquer renegade.

Seriously? Ash Wednesday and THIS is what you pull?
csilver24
In Destiny, shotgun balance is more important than realism. Huge damage at short range with big drop off. Or else they kill at any range
csilver24
Making it unbalanced and overused than other guns. Would you use the shotgun that'll one shot, or a rifle that might kill after 10 shots?
YourMumKnowsMe
Shotguns are boring imo. Not everyone plays competitively.
thethirdusernamethatcametomymind
Shotguns arent OP, M64 and its archetype are. They didnt balance it though, just took ammo away. Still most used special in sweats, I think.
chiborino
There are better solutions than making sidearms the only viable special weapon. And I say that as someone who loves sidearms. Fuggin' Bungo.
Pantsworth6573
Shotguns OP? TLW OP? Snipers OP? Better nerf Fusion Rifles again.
thenorthwoods
Man I remember the shotty in Half Life 1 just blastin mother fuckers at close range. awwwwww yea
Wazzamaniac
Nevwr even used left-click on it (kinda weird cause it was single-barrelled)
BahamutBBob
This bugs me in most competitive games. The shot doesn't magically disappear after flying 10 feet, and if the shotgun uses slugs, it should
Anyport313
If it's just hitscan and the projectile has no physics your gunna get shit like that. Hitscan is passable but not exactly ideal eh
sorosfieldops
I once killed a hundred men on the nosehair canals with a spas 12 and slugs.
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED
Bf:bc2 had the best shotgun slugs. No bullet drop off and could kill a copter pilot from a mile out
laboon
got platinum with that thing. Shot like a god damn laser.
BahamutBBob
have a much longer effective range. Looking at you, Destiny, with whatever that exotic shotgun that fires slugs being useless at range,
captchatypingrobot
I guess you never played BF3 and used any shotgun with slugs. Basically all the damage of a point blank shot at any range
seventhtry
You're thinking of the Chaperone. My poor poor Chaperone
BahamutBBob
making the weapon completely pointless to add in the first place.
BigBossTheMSFCommander
Well, if Destiny's shotguns were realistic, the game would be even more unbalanced than it already is
pronoun
Why get all caught up on realism there? I mean, if you want realism, you'd die after one shot in the body from a pistol.
TakNoPants
Actually most of the one someone is shot with a pistol in the torso it isn't lethal and might not even be felt right away
Smallpox
In most cases, 1 pistol shot to the body does nothing. You walk, you run after it. After a few minutes, you stop.
SushiJaguar
Not if you're wearing modern protection. You'll crack a rib - at worst.
KingOfTheMouthBreathers
Well, not really, no, sometimes yes, but ehhhh.
didriktheviking
And irl soldiers dont run around as headless chickens, but are more likely to move as a team and rarely shoot in the direction of friendlies
Denpants
WHAT??! You'r telling me they don't run around with high powered sniper rifles and spin in a circle to fire whenever they see an enemy?
KingOfTheMouthBreathers
You've never worked with the Iraqi Army have you?
DeathStarWasAnInsideJob
rifles in most video games only have 40-50m max range. It's done to make the game fast paced. Nobody likes to shoot at dots from 700m away
bigbrother
That's all a sniper rifle is good for.
sdlabs
Op Flashpoint/ARMA players excluded. A quivering pair of pixels on a hillside, whizz whizz crack crack aw fuck I died.
Milchsteak
You can spot infantry at 3km while flying jets and fuck them up before they know whats happening.
FungusForge
I dunno, I've seenmechs in MWO piss at each other from over 1km. Blurry dots at that range.
SomethingWittyIDK
I thought that was literally the entire game at this point. On an unrelated note, I hate clan tech
Odb718
Sniper, Sniper 2, Sniper 3, and Sniper 4 would all disagree.
BSwann
Clearly never played battlefield.
AceofShades
FUCK FAO fortress, fucken god damned snipers... I'm the only one PTFO. Thats actually why I stopped playing.32 ppl on team, 20+ were scouts
KingQball
...He said most. BATTLEFIELD is one of the few popular games that have a massive map. Most fps's have small maps or lots of cqc
DeathStarWasAnInsideJob
Cough ARMA too
ThyGinger
I recently started playing day z again and man the DMR is op, i hardly feel the bullet drop even at 400m
Framperton
ARMA is a simulator, not a game.
Framperton
You do realize that 99% of all firefights in battlefield take place within spitting distance? I've never EVER seen a prolonged firefight
Framperton
In any BF game that's taken place greater than 100m apart. You know why that is? Because player characters move probably 2-3x as quickly as
Framperton
a normal soldier in full gear. Also, they can take an unhuman amount of punishment. And then there's damage falloff.
