    is it me or is the shotgun still way too powerful in kz multiplayer.

    its not as bad as it used to be at the start buts its still way to popular a tool for players to get fast quick kills.

    In most fps the shotgun is a luxury that you only use in close quarter battles but in this you can kill people from miles away with the thing.Its frustrating as i realy like the other rifles in the game but seem to find myself going fpr the shotty just to have an even fight.

    maybe im wrong....if so tell me so.

    The Shotgun is very powerful, but I don't think it has the range you are suggesting. I tend to use it in close-quarters maps like the Radec Academy etc. but it is useless for levels like Pyruss Rise (desert map).

    It is brilliant in Assassination mode too but worthless for any defensive games.

    Like some things in life, its not how big it is, but how you use it!

    I'd agree with Rain. It seems capable of killing you from too great a distance. I wondered for a while if it was lads that were really good at headshots, but the kill list at the side doesn't show a head shot. Mind you sometimes I hit players 2/3 times at close range and don't kill them, so they are probably just a lot better than me with it.

    It can take half your life off from mid-range which is the range for practically 90% of the maps. Coupled with the fact you barely have to aim the thing AND the previous patch turned the Sentry Turrets into sniper-bots the entire class is now a joke.
    It's no coincidence when you join a game half the other team are engineers.

    It depends on your playing style. If you like to run headlong into a crowd and shoot then the shotgun is for you. That or light machine gun but that is a bit inaccurate. If you like to hit from a distance then the shotgun is useless. I use the light machine gun for the mix of power and mid range accuracy. It is the only defence I can find against the shotgun. Don't bother with the rifles as they would'nt cut butter.

    The turrets are good for stopping people running the same rat run all the time. I normally run the same few routes on a way to a fight and the turrets have taught me to stop and think.

    I am still useless but it passes the days until COD6 comes along.
