    The shotgun has always been an Overpowered weapon and it's such an anti-fun weapon to play against. It has no skill-gap, it has an incredibly tight spread, the range is way too far and there's so much damage per pellet.

    It needs to be nerfed in some way:

    1) Nerf fire rate or replace it with a pump action varient

    2) Nerf per-pellet damage by 3

    3) Have a more steady damage drop off

    4) Lower the amount of pellets it fires

    Have maybe 1 or 2 of the above ideas implimented about balancing the weapon to make it a viable but not an overpowered weapon.

    If there's so many of those threads then maybe there's a legitimate problem with the shotgun? Instead of ignoring a game mechanic that ruins the flow of the game, espcially with how little damage some other guns do in comparrison,

    IT'S BORING to use. If I did then there'd be no fun in the game at all...

    Damn, good constructive reply to my post dude, good job...

    The problem is that a T will get close to you with their Shotgun and then start shooting you, you won't be able to react to it quick enough to kill them, that's the problem with it, the ease of access you get with it...

    So many people complain about it. Yet nothing is ever done.

    I have 0 problems with anyone when they use shotgun on Vanilla, it's fine as it. I can kill them quite easily without a shotgun, so simply.. As they say "git gud" It's garry's mod, the shitty engine from 2004 can't comprehend a shotgun correctly at times and it just glitches out. Sometimes you get instant kills, sometimes you get point blank shots to the head that do 30 damage, it's just luck.

    If it's so OP just use it yourself and stop complaining :p

    So many people complain, not because it has a problem, because they had bad luck and got one shotted 2 feet away. Shit happens, the shotgun is special, nothing will change, rest in spaghett, never forgett.

  16. I'm seriously worried about your intreptation of Source engine. First you said 3D skyboxes cause lag and now this. My god, please never ever mention Source or the engine in your statements again

    Never been killed from a shotgun even 100 feet away. Spread is terrible after like 50 feet.

    and;
    Source is terrible. :p

    Source, where even with a good computer you get shit FPS.
