At RTX, the Scattershot owned and captivated the audience with it’s OP ability to dish out the pain. Unfortunately in a subsequent interview, Frankie claimed that this weapon will toned down due before Halo 4 launches… Does anybody else think that this weapon should remain over-powered when the game launches?
Why should it be over-powered?
I didn’t think it was too overpowered, seemed like it had the power of any normal shotgun to me. However, I would like a balanced Halo gameplay.
Looked fine as is. I’m sure they’ll tweak it though. Along with other weapons
It has already been nerfed.
If you have seen the latest videos you would notice the fire rate has been lowered.
Compare the new videos to the e3 videos and you’ll notice.

It seemed fine, inconsistent though. Some times it looked as if it could kill the person 15 feet away with 2 shots other times it looked like it would take 2 shots to kill them 5 feet away. It’s a luck weapon.

It shoots pellets. The damage is determined by how many pellets hit.
The person most likely missed half there pellets up close.

I was comparing it to shotguns from previous Halos…

Woah there you two… This is borderline Flaming, if you ask me… Let’s remove the Legendary Flaming Helmet armor effect for the purposes of this thread, please?

The Unsc shotgun will be better close range and will reward accuracy for its rate of fire. (I think its lower than the scattershot)
The scattershot will be more spammy and better at range compared to the other shotgun.
No thanks. I’d rather something be designed as underpowered and requiring more skill to use.
A Scattershot a day keeps the newbees at bay
It should be a power weapon. I’m not sold on its current iteration (right now I don’t see a terrible amount of difference between it and the shotgun; and given how its projectiles work, it could’ve been quite distinct), but it should be able to one-shot stuff pretty frequently. As frequently as any power weapon can in its preferred range.
Oh, so if I check your stats you’ll be using nothing but the under-powered weapons? No rifles? No power weapons? You’re just straight hardcore UNDER-POWERED SKILL, amirite brov?

Could you be more specific at directing who this particular rant was aimed at? Thanks! =-)

Probably me! And yes, I will. I like a disadvantage, otherwise it’s just unfair.
It looks quite balanced to me
