scattershot is amazing

[BirdieJuice]

didn't realize until now how fast you can fire that gun. it's ridiculous. it's laughable how overpowered the rate of fire and range on that gun is. you can fire that thing faster than an assault rifle at an insane range. pick it up spam the trigger and you'll run train it's fantastic.

[Baeztoberfest]

The best part is when you vaporize someone. Reminds me of the death beam from the tripods on war of the worlds? It's like a mini composer. Lol. It's pretty awesome. But...

 

Although slower rate of fire the UNSC shotgun still packs the hardest punch. It jut radiates sit down power. But when that's not around yeah... I agree. Scattershot for the win.

[Kiing 0f Coffe]

Hmm, I prefer the UNSC shotgun over the scatter but they're both pretty nice.

Agreed. There's just something about that UNSC pump... Lol.

[Admiral Ackbar]

I like watching people disintegrate. It makes me happy. But I have trouble with it. Doesn't seem as powerful as the UNSC Shotgun. But it does fire faster.

Yeah it's not as powerful... But it DOES disintegrate people! Lol.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Can anyone use it as good as a UNSC shotgun?? Or is it actually less powerful?

[LiQuid BioniX]

It totally depends. I completely disagree that it's overpowered. You can spam the hell out of it, but the way that it does damage is completely random. I can get a one hit kill from a certain distance, recreate the exact same scenario and it takes three shots to kill them.

True. I got one shotted from like super far away. And other times nothing.

[Vaulting♥Frog]

Its cool but its damage is so unpredictable its almost not worth picking up. If I had the choice between it and a UNSC shotgun I take the UNSC one every time as it is far more predictable in damage and range.

But does it vaporize people! Lol.

So does the binary rifle (far cooler too). Its just too random in damage and range to be useful.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Yes I love the Binary rifle too. But I never get it, unless the match is about to end.

Yeah... Vaporizing... That's the way to go. Lol.

[Caboose The Ace]

recently ive started liking the scatttershote more than the unsc shotgun

[NotNoobNorPro]

scatershot does seem to deal damage randomly, which gets me killed alot when using it, because it for some reason hates me and always gives me the lowest power shots lol UNSC shotgun just owns though. its fire rate is slower, but you know its a 1 shot, whereas the scatter fires something like twice the speed, but may randomly decide to be a 4 shot kill

[Chris Hansen]

The scattershot is by far the most inconsistant weapon in halo 4. It's really fun, but as others have brought up, you can sometimes one shot someone at almost maximum range on its projectiles (they disappear after a certain distance) and then again you can fire all 5 shots and not kill them.

 

Sometimes it owns, sometimes it just fails.

[Sadly Just AL]

Sattershot... A beautiful weapon. Easy in close quarters, especially in tight halls where the projectiles bounce on impact on things other than other players and vehicles.

[Bloody Initiate]

I like that the forerunner weapons come with distinct melt-a-mofo sound effects so that I know when my teammate just got himself incinerated by a scattershot and I should therefore NOT go in there.

I wish all weapons vaporized things. Lol.

I remember playing "Fear" for PC at college and there was a gun called the penetrator that fired projectiles that pinned foes to walls when it made a kill shot. It was about as good as an assault rifle for damage and practicality, but the kill animation always involved the person's body being flung back and pinned to something + rag doll physics. They also had a gun whose kill shot made the person into a charred skeleton. It all just ends up depending on the game and where the developers want to spend their time I guess.

 

I'm actually OK with not having more elaborate kill animations in Halo, just because it sucks being on the receiving end of someone else's awesome animation.

Ha I know exactly what you're talking about! It's just so gratifying turning someone to ash or nailing them to a wall. Lol. Kibbles and bits.

When you said penetrator, I immediately thought of Saints Row the Third.

[SkItZo1041]

I hate the scattershot personally. I usually kill the person with like, 2-3 just about melee range shots, but by that time it's already game over. Shotgun and even boltshot work better for me, but that's just me.
