Personally I really like the Scattershot. I hated the previous shotguns in Halo, they usually relied on a melee, unless it was a point blank shot.
The scattershot appears to be a longer range shotgun, but harder to aim and with decent spread.
I also like how the Spartans are pushed back by the force of the Scattershot.
Best seen here^
It looks like, in the right hands, it is an effective short range weapon, but if you can’t close your distance, like any shotgun, you are basically dead.
I wonder how the Shotgun is going to differ from it? What changes will they make to the Shotty? I think that between the Scattershot and the Shotgun, there should be one inaccurate, high-powered, close range gun and one medium-powered, longer-ranged, more accurate gun.
Scattershot, eh?
well i did come very close to scattershot. i was walking thru forest one bright spring day. when suddenly out of the woods scattershot jumped out.
only thing one can do is to come running and make sure the great hounds of alghoetheth did not do speeding through after you. you can always use your vehicle in dire circumstantia but the thing was
my lambo rghini was in a destruction. damn that weapon destroyed everything. it was a glorious flame.
i told them to go into -Yoink!- camp and they did. but the mitochondrial nucleolus was extracting out all invasive forces. what must i do you will asking? not surrender mercilessly. but jump around
my neutrino launcher is always a friend of trustworthiness. if launched it kills everything in sight.
learn advice from me, i am Gwendolyn and come thru all sacred flames and precipitation.
The H2M90 and H3Mauler shotguns are the only shotguns that requires a melee follow-up 90% of the time to ensure a kill.
The H3M90 can kill but its range is so short that often players will opt for the half-shot+melee rather than risk being chewed up and meleed themselves by the other weapons.
The CEM90 and HRM45 are very good shotguns, especially for weapons in a universe where said weapons are useless unless used literally point blank against the undersuit or directly to the visor of a Spartan.
I love the idea of the SS. It’s like getting the Shredder back from Turok2… And I still have the shotgun to use
I’m loving the appearance of the scattershot, I also love the weapon’s sound and how it operates. It’s a great weapon. Oh and it’s so cool that your enemy disintegrates into tiny pieces of dust when you kill them. It’s awesome.
I think it looks cool, but won’t solve the reason why you didn’t like the other shotguns. I’m assuming you’re gonna have be just as close as the old shotguns to get a 1 shot kill, and that’s the way I like it. I constantly use the shotgun when I can, and even though you have to get close, it’s still devastating if used correctly. I just hope they put the old shotgun back in as well, I like the mechanical-ness of the older one, if that makes any sense.

I like the Scattershot is pretty cool because he strong and doesn’t afraid of anything.
The sound of the gun sounds like something from a kids game like Mario Kart. I personally think the idea of the weapon and its gameplay mechanics are cool, I just wish it didn’t look exactly the same as the human shotgun but with floaty and glowy bits. The traditional counterparts to the shotgun are the sword and hammer and the three of those weapons all look very different to each other with a unique look.
The Scattershot looks like a human shotgun, its not unique enough and has no character.
