Oh poo poo I forgot the biggest shotgun-related reason why Doom 3 sucks rear end--no super shotgun. What were id thinking? That's like Need for Speed without cars.

Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
In the early days of battlefield: bad company 2 you could snipe with the NS2000 and slug ammo and it was glorious

I also had a lot of fun with detpacks, saiga, and motion sensor mines on a recon or whatever

My own love of shotguns began on Perfect Dark on the N64 where the secondary fire mode for the shotgun was a double-tap and you could kill two bad guys BLAP BLAP

Note: The gun selection in all first-person shooter games sucks compared to Perfect Dark on the N64 it was the shitttt

Anyway, now I am playing noted badgame MECHWARRIOR ONLINE and have built a robot with two shotgun-type tank cannons

Shotguns are the best. I have a special place in my heart for Killing Floor shotguns which can take out lines of zombies in one shot.

Metro 2033's shotguns are pretty weak, excepting the Abkhats or whatever it's called, the belt-fed one that's DLC

Metro: Last Light adds a really useful Saiga-12 and also fixes the revolver-ish one by letting you reload it all the way; Abkhats still owns too

The lever-action shotgun in Fallout: New Vegas isn't hugely effective but it is damned sexy to fire and reload and for some reason guys you kill with it fly across the room, while the riot shotgun is probably the most versatile single weapon in the game thanks to the variety of 12-gauge shell recipes

FEAR's shotgun is just ridiculous, but automatic weapons really shine in that game so I don't use it that much

Black Mesa's shotgun was kind of a disappointment TBH, though it's more effective than HL1's

friends call me the shotgun shogun due to my refusal to use any other weapon and also my love of japanese culture.

Good news. The shotgun can be a very prominent weapon in Quake 3/Quake Live's CTF map, Japanese Castles... It's a mix of the best of both world's!

Modding the over/under shotgun in STALKER CS or COP for high accuracy and using slugs made for a pretty drat effective early game sniping weapon. Screw the haters who say it's bad, it's awesome.

The shotgun in Battlefield Bad Company 2 could be made into an epic sniper rifle. To bad Battlefield is a series for clownassed fuckfaces.

Strike quick and hurry at him,
not caring to hit or miss.
So that you dishonor him before the judges



The shotgun in COD MW2 was pretty satisfying because they made it an actually decently ranged weapon rather than a blunderbuss. On the flip side, the double barrel shotgun in COD WAW was awesome because it was a cone of death for everything 10 feet in front of you.

Unappreciated shotguns in this thread:
Resident evil, Barry burton breaking down the door, Jill sandwich etc
Fallout sawed off, both barrels at close range when you couldn't burst the SMG for fear of killing dogmeat by accident
Deus Ex, the combat shotgun with sabot for slaughtering robots (yes I know you took the gep gun) or buck for greasels
Soldier of Fortune, pretty sure this was the first game where you could literally blow people apart
Contra, the spread gun was technically a shotgun right

team fortress classic was really the first online fps i got into and the engineer had the super shotgun, which was great. good enough to let me take part in offensive pushes and give what for. that plus the emp grenades and nail gun for keeping snipers spooked made maps like well really fun as you could distract snipers while running across the open area and then mix it up in tight corners.

The hunting shotgun in killing floor is amazing because you can fire it into a crowd, kill like 20 things and just watch limbs fly everywhere and then your british guy says something insightful like, "Givin' em both barrels guv'nuh". Also if you crouch and shoot up into a scrakes head sometimes they'll do a full summersault in midair. TLDR killing floor pretty much owns
