I made this thread to share my wants and to discuss your wants for the Halo 4 look of the shotgun.
I would like to see it return to the old Halo 1-3 look. The Reach look of the shotgun didn’t appeal to me, so for Halo 4 I am hoping to see an updated, more detailed version of the Halo 1-3 shotgun. With some subtle changes here and there being okay in my mind.
I could not care less what it looked like, I only care about how it plays and effects game play and balance.
Personally, I would like to see the shotgun get a little boost in some power&range, but -->ONLY<-- if the auto-aim/aim-magnetism is massively reduced or totally removed. And… same goes for all the spray-and-pray close range weapons. Up the damage, and increase the skill needed to achieve success with it.
I like that Halo has power weapons and situation-specific weapons, but I HATE that any junk player is able to achieve success without skill.
I liked the look of Halo Reach’s shotgun, but the power was stupidly powerful. It was suppose to imitate the Halo: CE shotgun, and it worked like the original very well.
For the look of the new shotgun, I would expect the gun to be sleek and shiny while retaining its halo look.
