Shotgun Sniping... w00t!

[RoboDuck]

As topic name suggests this is about the SHOTGUN from the GDF never really tried it with Strogg Nailgun

Basicly the Shotgun from GDF can be used as a reasonable but low damage sniper using the sights

seriously sights ROCK on this baby if you target someone right in that middle part in the screen of the sights you ALWAYS get a hit if you actually manage to shoot at the right time. It even works when walking with sights on which basicly has the LOWEST accuracy for Sights

of course it doesn't do much damage but at least on bullet of the whole bunch hits its target making it a surprising sniper rifle...

I've killed quite a bit of Strogg using this method... because it just works so damn well and hitting is extremly easy... also reloading or lagg is reallly rare since with those 10 shots you take you easily already earned the kill and a bit of XP to:D

really works well! Damage may be low but most people seem to ignore you when you do this from a distance... after some shots they're dead! Also seems to improve hitting from closer distances:o

happy killing the Alien scum!

what a waste of time.

not really.. I personally think the Assault rifle is really really bad(lacerator on strogg side is ok though)

therefore shotgun:D

i also dislike the shotgun and if once seen at sniping you are freakin dead because they are beginning a fight with you and you have no chance on distance.

Shotgun/Nailgun are good in close combat if you can hit with them, but so far i haven't managed to hit anything with them.

C'mon, give a little courtesy for players who take the time to post a guide or help post here.

personally think the Nailgun is way to bugged with the current hit detection... and the zoom gets pwnt by sights over and over so never use Nailgun... prefer Lacerator for strogg...

Also shotgun does ok on hitting at some times but it seems to have some sort of lagging hit detection cause sometimes I shoot someone in the middle of their strafe path... they live... then after wards they drop dead by my shotgun shot>.<

Also it may seem strange but using sights on closer distances seems to always hit if you do it down the middle unlike close distance normal shooting where the hit detection is flawed.... and unlike far shooting you get HUGE damage... 1 or 2 hit kills ftw!

meh far sniping.... almost everyone seems to ignore you because of low damage(of course I do it when they're busy shooting something else... when they are looking around for targets I prefer to go closer) or is dead in the first hit(once hit someone up near tormentor area from down below while he was strafing... one hit kill:eek: )

btw my processor is to slow to run it full speed so the Assault Rifle totally blows on my computer... it laggs uber style in comparison to the Lacerator/Shotgun/Nailgun/Hyperblaster
