The Look of the Shotgun.

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.

How about you?

It has changed pretty much every game so I’m expecting a new look.

I think the shotgun looked beast in halo 3… I don’t like how the reach one looks or how it works… The range is almost like ar range…

I think the Reach shotgun looks much better then the Halo 3 shotgun.

> I think the shotgun looked beast in halo 3… I don’t like how the reach one looks or how it works… The range is almost like ar range…

I agree. I would like a Halo 3 styled shotgun with updated graphics, details and additions.

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.

Prefer the H3 shotty but I don’t care how it’ll look in Halo 4, as long as its good.

I’d prefer a new look.

I used to think the Reach shotgun looked bad but it’s grown on me. I think it’s the best looking one so far.

I prefer the Reach Shotgun appearance but with blue lights.

They all look good to me but I prefer the Reach shotgun the most.

I don’t really care. But I’m sure it’ll look more realistic.

It needs to be top reloading, thats a halo shotgun.

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.

Does it really matter? As long as it functions correctly, then I think it’s fine.

I’m guessing you also don’t like the Halo CE shotgun for its range also?

Agreed.

Halo 3 Shotgun did look good, but having to literally shove the gun inside a spartan to guarantee a kill in Halo 3 was awful.

Just up the range on it and I’ll be ok with it.

They wouldnt need to up the range if they loaded it, scatter shot,slug,etc, etc…
