Shotty Love

Shotguns... A uncomplicated joy in our hectic world. Here's my list of some of my favorite Boomsticks :-P

1) XM2014 (crysis), *stealth, stealth, stealth* SURPRISE!! *BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!*

2) AA-12 (MW2), This gun + extended mags + scavenger perk = Walking meat mincing machine. Awesome fun in close quarters :-D

3) USAS12 (MW3), The first shotty available and arguably the best. Has range, power and a great mobility. Running the rats nests of the mp maps with this little beauty can be a blast.

4) SPAS-12 (BLOPS), My favorite gun of the mp. Mainly because it's range and power wasn't nerfed by putting on a silencer. Quiet, deadly and just a little sexy.

5) Dinner Bell (Fallout: New Vegas), This is a unique variant of the hunting shotgun and obtained upon completion of the quest "Bleed me dry". In addition to the gun, you also get to bed its previous owner. A intense woman by the name of Red. Everytime I fire it, I hear her call out "Oh daddy" and smile :-)

Please feel free to add your own, theirs plenty more out there :-D

I hate shotties and I hate people who use them.

Esp those who like to camp in your team's base.

Faking losers. Only thing worse are the double meleers. But that's a thing of the past now.

1)Combat shotgun(Fallout 3) ...those poor ghouls never saw it coming,I especially enjoy this shotgun's crude sound.
2)Boneduster(Bulletstorm)...well..the name says it all.
3)SPAS-12(Half-Life2)...particularly good for taking out zombies.
4)Pretty much all shotguns from Borderlands...did I say I'm looking forward to Borderlands 2 :) .

+1 million billion for this topic.

1. Medal of Honor: Remington 870 MCS

It's brilliant because it doesn't follow the videogame logic that says that a shotgun can only hurt people if they're 6 feet away.

2. Borderlands: That shogun I once picked up

It had a huge drum, looked like a Striker, it shot incendiary rounds, with little to no spread, and I kept it for most of the game.

Not unlike that!

3. Modern Warfare 2: SPAS-12

It wasn't automatic, and it had to reload between each shot. Which meant that everybody else had a faster CQB weapon, which meant that killing everybody else with it was hugely rewarding.

4. Team Fortress 2: Soda Popper

Two barrels, quick reload, hurts people, cute

5. Killing Floor: Hunting Shotgun

I used this almost exclusively for a very long time. It has a low rate of fire, but very high damage and penetration. It just carves a path right through a pack of zombies, and it's far from useless on the boss/bigger zombies.

Honorable mention - Battlefield 2: Striker

It was a pretty shitty weapon, but it looked soooo cool, so I kept carrying it around even though it kept getting me killed.

i don´t like shotguns that much...almost always prefer assault rifles or SMG´s.
those need to be on the list though- spontaneously posting here:

gears of war: - gnasher: Boom, Boom, Boom. Splat. Yuk.
- sawed off: Boom. Splat. Yuk.

BFBC2: - USAS12
- NS2000 - just great for clearing a room

I think the only shotgun worth mentioning is the one from Evil Dead.

Poly, is like the USAS-12, just that i found that it does a little bit more damage and it has a quicker fire rate, it is pretty quick, i mean shoot vs shoot transition.

USAS-12 with frag rounds in metro or grand bazar from BF3 and I'm done. That was before the patch. Yeah overpowered was just a nice word for that combo. Now I'm into 870 MCS because the sound is so addictive and matches the result. Btw. great topic, OrbitMonkey!

1) BFBC2 - 870 Combat w/slugs. The great thing about slugs in BC2 was that unlike every other projectile in the game there is no ballistics bullet drop, that basically means that if someone was spotted (and thus wearing the orange traffic cone of doom) no matter how far away they were you just aim a smidge below the base of their traffic cone and you had a pretty good chance of landing a headshot. Oh, and you got marksmen headshot points off slugs too, which was an added bonus. An Assault kit with an 870/slugs kit could lay waste to anything but a chopper thanks to the C4 replacement for the standard noob tube when using all-kit weapons.

I'm tempted to leave it right there :p

I think like DSB though I have to give an honourable mention to the shotguns of Killing Floor. A nice high level Support Specialist can tear through anything with pretty much any shotty thanks to the insane shot penetration you get at higher levels.

Oh, I loved the EMP Shotgun out of Transformers: War For Cybertron in multiplayer. I had this combo I basically nicked and modified off someone who raped me with it, as the Scientist/Jet you swoop into a group of enemies, transform, melee, shockwave ability>drain ability>both barrels from the EMP shotgun, transform and fly away, guaranteed at least 1 kill if not more depending on the makeup of the group (different classes have varying amounts of shielding and health in the mp), the survivors usually become kill assists from opportunistic team mates shortly after.

No Doom 2 love?! :)

That started the shotgun love for me! Def enjoyed the Fallout 3 and Vegas additions though,.

To me, a shotgun needs to be complemented with either a good damage model (soldier of fortune/Bulletstorm) or a good kill cam like fallout, otherwise it just misses the point of a bone mincing splatter cannon! ;)

Monkeygourment... hear you, like sniper V2, but instead of sniper with shotguns, really nice to see the bones shattering.
