Mythic shotty snipers might have been a good game until I have realized that no one uses the shotgun anymore and only the nornfang which one shots anywhere you hit. It was a creative idea but not a good one. Everyone just uses the sniper and spam the fire button. And they just get a kill for just firing the thing. There is no more skill in the game just find and shoot
I use my Shotgun plenty of times everytime I hop into a match to play it, along with many others using it. Also, your wording basically makes it sound like the Nornfang tracks targets after just shooting the weapon, which it does not.
Sounds to me you just had a few bad matches. I will admit that not every map is ideal for it at all, but it’s not an awful playlist as a whole.
I use the shotgun for everything, I’m actually trying to get first place on the winning team using the oathsworn only. I did it a few times when Mythic was first a playlist but everyone is so much better now so its way harder now, which I like. I met a few other people trying to do the same.

Maybe but I think that at least one of my kills was bullet magnetism. I boosted into a corner and saw someone in a hallway and boost out of it but I still got shot maybe it’s lag maybe

The Nornfang does AoE damage. Occasionally you will get a kill just for shooting the walls or ground around the player. You’re probably referring to that.
Welcome to Shotty Snipers in general dude.

The Sniper Rifle in Halo 5 as a whole has alot more bullet magnetism compared to the older Halo games for sure, so that factoring into the Nornfang doing explosive damage to surfaces and what not is probably your answer right there.
Either you like it and play it or you don’t. I personally love the excitement of getting a snapshot with nornfang. I must admit i never use the shotgun though.
I just wish they brought back regular shotty snipers where you actually need some level of skill to get sniper kills
I don’t like how most of the time it boils down to who sees who first. If you round a corner and somebody has their scope on that corner, you’re dead. No chance to try to react to them, pull a maneuver, and try to out shoot them. Nope. You’re just dead. Because the nornfang is so easy to aim that you can not miss. It turn everybody in to a quick sniping, no scoping pro. Also, what is up with the spawns? Halo 5 spawns usually aren’t terrible, but in this playlist there is a lot of spawn killing. I’ve spawn killed people, and been spawn killed by other people. It just frustrates me to no end when I try to play this playlist.

I think for Shotty Snipes people mostly run around with their Shotty out lol

Most definitely, though in this case people should be enticed to use Nornfang, with that one hit kill and large magnetism. Hitting the ground by the enemy guarantees a kill, yet we see people uncomfortable with this benefit, just because they can’t handle the sniper that well.
I couldn’t even find a match. I tried off and on for a few hours this morning.
Is some one really complaining about a lack of skill in a rotational social playlist?

Weapon description says it all; HEAP (high explosive armor peircing) ammunition. You’re basically firing a 14.5mm grenade.
I think this mode is an funny idea, but its just for fun. U need no skills and the games end to fast
I found it to be a 60/40 split

More like a hit-scan rocket launcher with bullet magnetism lol
It seems fine-ish to me when its not on btb maps. Because of btb maps large size and its nature of long sightlines it means that someone can easily see you without you seeing them. With a weapon like the nornfang that is hard to miss and instantly kills you it makes for first see first skill engagements. To be honest I think that they should double the damage resistance and make it a 2 shot. But I dont really know how that would work. Toning down the nornfangs aim assist might be a good start.
I use the shotgun for mobility and not as much for killing people.
