OP shotguns in Hidden, need nerf for CG?

[Milkman007]

As we all know, the shotgun basically destroys the hidden in one shot at about all ranges. I don't play on hidden servers without shotgun nerfs so I don't have much time on the CG hidden servers I was just wondering how many people are in favor of a shotgun nerf for the servers. (probably a         -70% damage nerf or something) I feel that it would bring more balance to the game considering people would have to aim for the hidden now. What are you're guys thoughts?

This is absolutely incorrect.
The shotguns have ALREADY been altered.
For the 9 pellets in a shotgun blast, each did 17 damage.
The damage has already been reduced to just over 11 damage per pellet, requiring all 9 pellets to connect to their target.

Think about it, if you're getting shot by a shotgun at point blank (5 feet away), any living thing should NOT survive. If you do, count yourself lucky.

Maybe if you played more on CG servers, you'd notice shotguns AREN'T doing 100 damage from over 30 feet away.

What you're asking for is to make shotguns useless, which is a whiny, selfish thing to ask.

Live bait, the only reason I started this was because INJECT *dramatic pause* said they had not been altered. To be honest this is fine. Although I still disagree with the shotgun being in the game at all because of it's one hitter quitter abilities, All I wanted was a nerf and there was one. I shall now cry to inject. TY

I'll try to research my crap better, sorry for the inconvenience

Yeah I told him the shotguns were not nerfed. I was wrong.
No need to over react.

And I understand what hes saying. Yes realistically shot guns are stong and a face shoot (or really any) kills you.
But so does every other gun. 1 Shot from any gun almost always = incapacation IRL.

Full IRL logic shouldn't be used in games unless it's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 or something.

Yea my bad lol.

My real logic is that most games have a counter to shotguns (most likely ARs and snipers) While the hidden only kills in CQB, and with elements like lag in a fast passed game, there's always a chance that a random lucky shot could ruin your Hidden round. I'm fine with losing a good 50-65 chunk of heath for doing a bad doge or getting unlucky.                                                                                                                                                                                        .                                                                               Well since this forum is over, feel free to post funny hidden screenshots!
