Am I the only one around here who likes the new shotgun? Sure, the actual sound of it firing may have been toned down a lot, but I like it. It looks and sounds really really futuristic and cool. It’s certainly a change of pace from the previous shotguns in the other games. What do you guys think? Should they change it back so it sounds like a Civil War cannon is going off?
How can you like something you’ve never played?!? sarcasm I think it’s fine. It looks pretty cool, but it’ll function in the same way.
I don’t hate it. I just think it doesn’t look like a proper UNSC weapon. It almost looks Forerunner.
I think with the lack of visible iron sights it looks more brutal. I think it solidifies that CQB dominance feel. I love it.
Um, no? I think most people like the look of the new shotgun. The only problem people really have with it is that it in no way resembles the shotgun of past halos. Its look is completely new, and or once actually looks like a futuristic shotgun, rather than a madern shotgun with LED-lit iron sights(this in itself is the most iconic part of the shotgun of past halos, and is not featured on the shotgun this time around :/)
I’m actually really not digging it. I †thought the shotgun was a pretty iconic power weapon for halo. I don’t know why they couldn’t just change it a bit but still maintain the original ideas like all the other weapons.
I think it looks much sexier than previous Halo’s Shotguns; though I do miss the LED lights on it. however, I’m not happy about the range/similarity to Reach’s for two reasons:
- Infection
- it’s a Primary Weapon choice in your Loadouts
Looks cool, Ill enjoy killing zombies.
I actually love its new sound. It sounds very nice. Easy on the ears. And it looks plain awesome. It was ballsy of 343i to change the way it looks for the first time since Halo CE. Looks cool, though.

I don’t think it will be a loadout weapon. I’m pretty sure that 343 isn’t that oblivious to its power.
an ordinance weapon perhaps, but nobody is going to be spawning with it in slayer.
I like the new look of the shotgun
I think it’s the best looking shotgun so far.

It a power weapon, not a primary. You were basing that on rumors from early.
Actually, looking at the entire Halo franchise, Humanity has advanced suprisingly little in the past 500 years. Reminds me of Doom3 “This is the -Yoinking!- future. Why the -Yoink- am I holding a flashlight??”. So I have grown used to UNSC weapons looking rather like our modern weapons. Hell, by this time in the future, why are we still using projectile firing weapons? They should have blaster rifles, and ray guns by now. So looking at it from this perspective isn’t going to help. I can’t say I like the new shotgun design, it looks too inhuman or alien compared to the other UNSC weapons. I’ve come to love the look and feel of the M90 shotguns, it’s a series of weapon that I consider classic to the Halo franchise, and I hate to see it go. Ofcourse, the new shotty still looks like it functions in the same way as the M90s, so I assume the old “feel” is still intact. I am not outraged about this. I’m not going to continuously complain about 343i “ruining the Halo franchise” and “destroying things essential to the plot”. I still love the way 343i is making Halo 4, it looks amazing. This is just a small detail that I disagree on. Halo 4 is 343i’s Halo, and they’re making it their way, and it looks pretty damn awesome. :3
