Shotguns in Modern Warfare 3 are Underpowered

GR - "Shotguns have always been a staple of the Call of Duty series. With their close range and heartstopping firepower, the shotgun has been the go-to weapon for CQB players. Not so with Modern Warfare 3, where they appear to have been severely diminished in stopping power and also range."

Was the same with all the other games as well, not surprised here that they did no work to them. It's like your slugs disappear after a certain range, like 10 feet, it's retarded. But damn, even point blank range and still didn't kill them what the hell.

farhad2k84545d ago

Not the Models!! They have immense range!! I don't know if it's with the 'Range' profficiency, but I got owned by a dude with the shotgun from queit a distance!

SwiftShot4545d ago

Did you play MW2? lol check the Spas 12 damage n tell me its the same let alone most shotguns are 1 hit kills from point blank on MW2.

belal4545d ago

it is better like this, now it's not overpowerd atleast.

BlackTar1874545d ago

yea totally agree.

Get better with your gunplay leave the shotgun 1 shot kills alone.

sublIME2s4545d ago

Yep. I remember playing MW2 against guys just using the AA-12 and just raping everyone with it. Pathetic really

raWfodog4545d ago

But shotguns are supposed to be really devastating at close range so they should leave the one shot kill ability at very close range. Thats how I roll...

moeqawama4545d ago

I agree too... the Spas was insanely overpowered in MW2. You can seriously blast someone from a good 15-20 yards

DON'T MESS WITH THIS!!

Fed up of noobs wanting to sprint around with full auto shotguns.

Go play Battlefield and turn on buckshots of you want to snipe using a shotgun.

BlackTar1874545d ago

yea the Shotgun in BF is lame.

But that smy only complaint well at the stupid 4 player party system.

COD has way more annoying things then this though

RioKing4545d ago

"COD has way more annoying things then this though"

Like?

BlackTar1874544d ago

you serious RIO?

Major lag right now. Small maps way too many nooks and crannies overpowered Kill streaks all guns kill in like 2 shots so the difference is very meaning less on most weapons. I can name more how about levels that for some reason remind me of old levels bullet lag etc.

still enjoy the game and i have only playd like 10-12 rds.

HardCover4545d ago

Huh? real shotguns have SOME range to them man. That's why they use them for skeet shooting and the like.

BF shotguns are only mildly effective at their max distance (like 100 feet...) which is pretty much how it should be. Not a one shot kill at melee, but also not useless at 20 feet away....

brettyd4545d ago

good..you could kill someone with a shotgun from 20 ft away in MW2.

OcularVision4545d ago

and like 200 feet in real life.

dark-hollow4545d ago

Like there is a map big enough to shoot someone from 20 ft :p

ambientFLIER4544d ago

Afghan is more than 20 feet long.

Surfaced4545d ago

First they're overpowered, now underpowered?

haven't played MW3, but based on my MW2 experience, I'm betting the shotguns are perfect now.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac8d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-236d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher22d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris22d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera22d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii22d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts22d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX22d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos22d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast22d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
