Why are shotguns in videogames so often poorly designed?

Most of TF2's guns don't require skill, just negotiating terrible hitboxes and ancient netcode.

Epic post my friend!
Jackson Flores
TF2 is an exception to the rule. Well, actually, it's an exception because it's descendent from an arena shooter, the latter of which are all much more skill-intensive.
Eli Martin
without shotguns FPS games wouldn't even be popular

Nolan Baker
Shotguns are a close range power weapon they do what they're designed to
Gavin Parker
Do you want to explain how that post is wrong? The way the spy's knife does whatever the fuck it wants ought to be proof enough of it.
Aiden Cox
Left 4 dead shotgun was awesome.

This guy doesn't know about sniper rifles. How?
Kevin Ramirez
It just needs to be a loud tube to get casual audiences to pretend to know what theyre using.

>90 damage

jesus, imagine implying that shotguns of all things are not fun to use in videogames.
Adrian Wright
He's probably some streamer who plays sniper himself and got shotgun'd. Sniperfags always get butthurt when someone crashes their campfest.
Gabriel Smith
>Shotguns do not belong in video games
Without shotguns FPSs wouldn't exist
Also who the fuck is this twitter retard and why is this thread about his stupid opinion?
Parker Nguyen
idk about you guys but i trust the opinion of a cod championship winner over some rando on Zig Forums
also a mailbox isnt a parking meter google
Evan Roberts
More like ARs don't belong in video games. They're too good at all ranges and make the weapon choice too braindead easy. TF2 did it right by not having any.
Kevin Sanders
the problem is that they are hard to balance in MP, they are either too strong or too weak, hell a lot of SP and Co-Op games struggle to balance them out with other weapons
except zombie games, most of them got them on point
John Evans
a CoD "esport professional" or in other words, no one of value
Nathan Howard
wooow my favorite youtuber poster something from my favorite game :3
kys and kys funke
Oliver Torres
If shotguns in games behaved as they do IRL most 30m engagements would have them OP.
Leo Russell
shitty ADS console shooters make these retards thinks shotguns arent decent lol
Jack Rogers
>make shotty useful past 10 feet
REEEE OP
>make pellets disappear past 10 feet but compensate by killing in 1 or 2 shots
REEEE OP
>make pellets disappear past 10 feet and so weak it won't kill in 1 or 2 shots
useless weapon lmao
Caleb Rodriguez
Oh boy the answer is so easy:
Because faggots (in most cases "progamer" shitting up everything with their meta play) complain about shotguns all the fucking time.
Shotgun player are the biggest brohs in videogames because they dont snipe, they dont camp they run around looking for you in close combat.
This mean the weapon of choice is useless in 90% of occassion except in close combat where it wins 99,9% of the time.
This enrages the progamer who memorized every camp/headglicth encounter on every map. His weapon of choice is OP in long range/middle range and close combat. So the use of shotguns is seen by him as "noob" move because it kills you faster than he can kill you.
So these people start complaining in Twitter like the retarded babies they are wantingnerfs for shotguns

Quake 3's shotgun is a chad gun that forces you to face check people while the rocket is the coward gun that you can peek around corners with
Jose Sanchez
Its a shame really, that in 99% of the games they are confetti shooters above 10m range.
IRL they are quite effective and fun, oh so fun, especially pumpies
Aiden Watson
How would the Scout's pellet gun work in reality? It's a lever action, double barrel shotgun with a drum mag that appears to surround the chamber.
Could it be made and functional?
Justin Harris
Shotguns are like the one gun that is basically impossible to not be fun to use.
Blake Price
How are shotguns even real, nigga just walk away
Anthony Ramirez
shitter
Brandon Wright
>it's not skillful, you just need to skillfully connect your bullets with the enemy
Angel Roberts
Revolver style? it wouldn't eject shells like it does in game but it could technically work, probably with 6 shells max
Justin Perez
Under the bottom of the drum is a place to insert shells, so my best guess is to just jam in as many shells (or whatever the limit is) and it might shoot out of both barrels. Its probably gonna need slots on both the left and right side so shells come out, and lever is to reload it? Im not good with guns sorry for sounding like shit.
Bentley Wright
Why do CoD players always get upset when something other than automatics are the most dominant weapon in a game?
Nathaniel Phillips
They warned me about this type of post!
Is this a legendary bait?
