Why do game devs do this?

halo 2 and so on turning the shotgun into a glorified melee weapon was insanely stupid.
If you are going to give me an explosive club with a 2 foot fucking range then IT BETTER BE A GOD DAMN FUCKING CLUB.
>muh realism muh fictional universe
It is a god damn shotgun in the future I expect it's buckshot load to be replaced with chunks of metal the size of a big toe.
Christopher Evans
not even the best weapon in h1
Anthony Lewis
For no guns this is a reference to a shotgun buckshot
>buh user with your retarded fucking brain how do we make that BETTER
BIGGER SHELL, BIGGER SHOT, MORE GUNPOWDER, BIGGER SHOTGUN
ITS THE FUTURE GOD DAMN IT

>they balanced the weapons in single player around how they were used in multiplayer
fucking retarded
Andrew Myers
IT IS ENTIRELY INSANE
>we could balance human weapons to be good against unshielded but that means we need to return to a health system
>we could balance multiplayer weapons entirely different from singleplayer with a custom games option setting that you can flip on and off for balancing.
>we could do anything with minimum effort
>lol its a club

Every other game has different damage values for single player and multiplayer - except for Halo for some reason. I vividly remember getting the shotgun early on in Halo 2 the first time I played it and thinking "Fuck yeah!" Then using it and finding out how fucking terrible it was. I had the same thing happen in 3 thinking they might've fixed it - NOPE somehow got even worse
Samuel Martin
Correct. This is.

halo 2 raped CE's weapon balance with dual wielding anyway. suddenly the plasma rifle, smg, magnum and plasma pistol were all useless pieces of shit because they were designed around being dual wielded, which nobody fucking did anyway because losing the ability to melee and throw grenades to get two shitty innacurate weapons with almost no range is an absolutely terrible idea. 2 is still fun but I always get annoyed at how the BR invalidates pretty much all non-power weapons.

IRC the Halo shotgun uses 8 guage buckshot. Enough power to blow a Hippo's face to bits. It's pretty strong.
Levi Fisher
God damn the magnum in halo PC multiplayer was the hottest shit.
>Two guys are having an assault rifle battle, 60 rounds of the magazine maybe 10 rounds between the two of them register as hitting.
>someone gets fragged across the map and their magnum goes flying, bouncing off every thing and hitting one of the players giving him the ammo pickup notification
>one player is now desperatly trying to melee the other and get it to register while the other just pops him 3 times in the head.
fucking 343 fucked up on MCC by not reviving halo combat evolved and custom edition multiplayer the fucking faggots

If the AR is firing 7.62 then why does it feel more like you're shooting dry spaghetti sticks
Hudson Butler
Because Bungie hates the AR for no reason. Worse preformance, ammo count and sound in 3 and Reach than CE.
Nolan Walker
>60 round mag
>they nerfed that shit for no reason
i'm still kinda fucking mad
Jace Phillips
The piece of shit smg was meant to replace the AR ammo capacity but they forgot to bringe up the damage.
Caleb Rogers
It's 8 guage? Damn. You will need power armor just for your shoulder to survive a firefight.
Luke Perry
ce is the only good game, multiplayer especially
Aiden Nguyen
You're judging by today's firearms stupid, Halo's 2500's shotgun probably absorbs all the recoil and makes it feel like you're shooting 12 guage.
Kayden Hughes
I feel the SMG was balanced with the intention that you'd be dual wielding it. All of the dual wieldable weapons, except for the plasma pistol, feel that way to me.
Robert Wood
whyd' they nerf the needler too?
Christopher Allen
Needler dropped legendary elites fast.
Adam Edwards
no guns here, in X guage does the X refer to the amount of pellets? if not what does it refer to?
Connor Stewart
i don't know what game you're talking about but they do that thanks to multplayer niggers crying all the time. The best weapon balance is in BF4 were all calibers deal the same damage and the only difference between guns is the recoil, muzzle velocity and accuracy and using attachments can make all weapons viable.
Henry Ramirez
X guage refers to how large the pellet type is.
Bentley Barnes
I see, and big X = big pellets?

The shotgun sucks after Halo 1 because Bungie tried to force the dual wielding meme onto the series starting with Halo 2. Bungie thought the dual wielding mechanic would be rad but then they had to rebalance the guns around it and a lot of weapons got nerfed, especially the shotgun, which they didnt let you dual wield for some reason.
Isaac Miller
Wrong. The lower the number, the bigger the bullet is.
Brody Jackson
thanks, have a bum.
Colton Carter

you don't even get this weapon until the game turns to shit and you're just mindlessly plugging 200 flood per level
Ryder Howard
Because there is exactly one game developer in the entire world who knows how to do balance
Ethan Foster
the weapon sandbox in every halo after CE was completely and totally fucked up
i'm convinced halo CE was an absolute masterpiece in terms of sandbox design and multiplayer balance by sheer accident, even the 3sk pistol was a last minute change
