Halo CE - Holy balls… <3
Halo 2 - Range significantly nerf
Halo 3 - Ammo count reduced by half, range gains minor increase from 2.
Halo Reach - Pumpaction time increased from 3.
Over the years the shotgun has become a crappier and crappier weapon. In reach it’s not even considered a power weapon.
Just my opinion, but I believe that the shotgun should be a power weapon again. Something that someone should fear, like the H2 sword, but not that OP.
… Jus sayin.
Your thoughts?

LOL. It is the power weapon of the game, either you dont know how to use it, or you are sulking.
Not at all kid
Any weapon That I Can Get a Kill with IS a <mark>Power Weapon</mark>!
I’ll admit, the Weapon has seen Tweaks that reduce it’s overall effectiveness, but to say it isn’t a power weapon anymore is a tad overkill, it is still a significantly reliable weapon…

…A Wild loss of Respect Appeared…
While I do think it’s gotten worse every game, It’s definitley still a power weapon in Reach.
I’m hoping they have 2 different Shotguns. The old pup action one we’ve used for the last 10 years and a semi-auto one with a big round drum mag.
I think they should eliminate auto aim and bullet magnetism on the weapon and maybe reduce its reticule, then significantly increase it’s range. Right now it has a range (when you don’t have to melee to finish the kill) of like 2 meters. Shotguns are not that pathetic.
Lmfao!@!
You can snipe with the shotgun in Reach. If you’re honestly saying that it has to get more powerful, maybe you should get better.

Correction:
EMILE, can snipe with the shotgun, most people would find that a waste of time, and ammo
Reach shotgun is bad? The gun has a pretty high ROF and a huge range. I haven’t played Halo 2 or C.E. but, to me, the shotgun in Reach seems to be the most powerful shotgun in any game IMO.(except for COD of course)
Lets all talk about the Evolution of the Halo series, by making it more and more like CoD and Battlefield.

Completely the point of this Thread and not an attempt to cause unnecessary arguments…(!)
…Truly, thankyou…
It’s because only the noobs use the Shotgun, so Bungie thought they would nerf it to try and increase the skill level of the person wielding it…
… although that obviously didn’t work out.
The pump action on the Reach shotgun is exactly the same as the H3 M90. The difference between H3’s M90 and the Reach M45 is the range to which they are effectual in. It’s greater in Reach.
I personally like the shotgun in reach better than in halo 3 in halo 3 it was kinda a luck thing if your connection was good you could 1 shot people other times you would have to shoot then melee. In reach I found it to be a great ambush weapon and one of the more reliable weapons in the game IMO
CE shotgun > reach > halo 3 > halo 2
Quite frankly the range of all except CE is pathetic…might as well replace with the sword because they have the same range
