From what I’ve heard it doesn’t sound like the Bulldog is getting any sort of upgrade
At that point the counter I’d learning that you didn’t play the right way, I mean that happens, the whole concept of power weapons is to gain control of them.
And try to de y the other team access to them.
But the old maps were balance in the sense that each team should be able to get to each one power weapon before the other team.
Ut if one team.gwts both than Yea that sucks but that’s Halo. Map control and power weapon control.
I almost did.
I knew they had the sword. So I was positioned so I couldn’t get ambushed. Or at least shouldn’t have been.
Wasn’t quite covering the right angle at that time (was double checking a different approach)… and my shooting could have been better. As could the 200+ ping.
It was the sword player being reckless. Charging a single player from a distance and then leaving themselves exposed. But I guess they could do that knowing he had a mini-overshield in their hand.
It just seemed like a perfect (and timely) example of it being a bit too powerful.
The Bulldog is a very powerful gun. I pick it up every chance I get. You must not be using it correctly.

Bulldog sucks playing simple bring back the the darn flood killer I hate to be stuck with the bulldog while playing through the library or something like that I get freaking slaughtered using that piece of crap
The bulldog with it’s range and firing rate would destroy the library?
But if the campaign ever went in that direction they would either give you your trusty classic shotgun back - or balance the enemy health to suit.

lol, wanna’ 1v1 bulldogs only? No radar.
Oh 100%. The tight spread would bullseye every chest and flood infection form buried in there like it was its day job plus the reload rate? WHOO. Damn. Yeah, I actually want that now.

Ya thats what i said.
Preference though is subjective and i feel we have room for both
It would not destroy the library because it’s ammo capacity sucks
Wow, really glad The Library dropped one entire shotgun for you to use the entire time, and that no other flood had any other shotguns to drop ammo from, and that there were no other valid options to use against the flood.
Truly, this logic is infallible.

It would be fun though.
And don’t get me wrong. I love the original. I really hope it comes back for custom games. Our weekly get together isn’t the same unless we finish with shotties on Beaver Creek.

I would love the original to come back to but seeing as this is 343 Industries it’s not going to be the same so they’re not going to bring back the Halo CE shotgun the way it was in Halo CE then I just need to leave it alone since most of the people on here like a shotgun that sucks we have shotguns in real life that are better than what they have in the game

You just love a piece of crap shotgun we actually have shotguns in real life they have just as much range as the Bulldog and would probably do the amount of damage the one in Halo CE does built all into one shotgun and I’m really talking about more for campaign anyway so if the flood return I hope they put the Halo CE shotgun into the campaign

Dude real shotguns are effective at ranges most guns in Halo would cry trying to fire at.
Besides, the most common gauge is 12 gauge, but the CE one fires an 8 gauge - that’s a lot bigger and more powerful. I don’t think most real world shotguns would measure up to the M45 / M90, so. I don’t think you actually know what you’re talking about, no military or police force uses an 8 gauge for like, anything.
Like, I’d like the classic shotgun too, but it occupies the same ecological niche as a sword or hammer. If it was added, you’d basically have it spawn where the sword or hammer would - not the other way around man.
EDIT: The Bulldog 1v1 offer still stands btw.
Well anyway I’m talking about more for the campaign I’m not big into PVP anyway

I’ll have you know Halo is a VERY competitive tactical shooter. It has been said that Halo is the most realistic game in the universe, with true-to-life ballistics and hitbox technology. It genuinely puts games like CSGO and Siege to shame with how COMPETITIVE and TACTICAL it is, and a weapon like the CE Shotgun would disrupt the delicate balance we have worked so hard to achieve for our multimilliondollar esports sce- ahem sorry I mean the community! If we were to do that, the pro strea- cough cough I meant players like you will be in an outrage at this imbalance!
Now, please stay tuned for the new “Spartan Waifu Armor Bundle”, in the item shop tomorrow, for the low, low price of $666!
The shotgun always was a one-shot kill at close range, which is what a shotgun is for. Close range engagements. It acted as a counter to the energy sword, because if you timed it right you could kill them in the lunge. In Infinite if someone charges at you with an energy sword, unless you have a gravity hammer or sword yourself, you’re down s**t creek without a paddle.
I’ve said this before, but in all other Halo games before this, the shotgun acted as a counter to the sword. If you timed the shot correctly, you could kill the swordbearer in the lunging animation. The bulldog cannot do this, you have to have already engaged the swordbearer for it to be viable against the energy sword, so why use it at all? I appreciate the design, and it could still coexist with the classic shotty, just not as a replacement
Yeah removing the classic pump action was a mistake I also call it the flood killer or flood mower because that’s essentially what it was and it was fantastic not anymore all because of 343 I can tell a lot of people on here would hate me if I made weapons for the game because I would actually make weapons that are effective
