SatanicBagels Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yes as far as we can tell this looks to be legit. Here is the picture before the mods over at Halo Waypoint deleted it. It must be getting nerfed a lot if it is going to be a primary weapon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Element Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 it will probably take a long time to unlock though if it can be used in custom loadouts. It also makes sense because we have not seen the shotguns in any weapon drops, only the scattershot, so it will probably be unlockable for loadouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderWombat Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I wouldn't be opposed to making the shotgun somewhat more accurate and less powerful. I hate being one-shotted by that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteSniper Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I hope we can't start with rockets and snipers... shotgun is ok but imagine everyone carrying rocket launchers around the map! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssaultSniper1989 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Wow shotgun as a primary is a big push by 343 to make this game more close quarters. If you think about it didn't they say somewhere they wanted to make the game more fast paced and close up. That is exactly what a shotgun is meant for.

SykoWolf Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 How are the damage levels between the Scattershot and Shotgun? I.E what sets them apart? I think the scattershot is more accurate but thats just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the scattershot is more accurate but thats just my opinion. well from what we have seen, the scattershot rounds seem to bounce off of nearby objects and it also looks to be semi auto. I think the faster rate of fire will make it more of a threat compared to the shotgun, but i think it looks less accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterTeethFan Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I hope we can't start with rockets and snipers... shotgun is ok but imagine everyone carrying rocket launchers around the map! as confirmed months ago you cant spawn with any power weapons such as snipers rockets or swords. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Element Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 as confirmed months ago you cant spawn with any power weapons such as snipers rockets or swords. yep, no big power weapons....but maybe the sword. In halo reach invasion, there were loadouts that spawned with a shot or a sword so i think it could be possible. But we havent seen the shotgun in any ordinance drops yet, so it will probably be unlockable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatanicBagels Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 as confirmed months ago you cant spawn with any power weapons such as snipers rockets or swords. Unfortunately, months ago we would have considered the Shotgun a power weapon. So everything is still up in the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still add the shotgun as your primary weapon in the load-out creator. That means it is in other game-types (regular slayer) too.

Yes in custom games. not in war games. if you want to play slayer in customs you can now start with any weapon you want like the shot gun. or play shotty snipes. and not to metnion it was from a early build because if you the AA meter is still the long line not the circle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giofosho Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 It isn't going to happen there was a neogaf post saying "the shotgun won't be in the load outs in the final build" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Well seeing as Frankie said that as you level up you unlock other weapons, perks, packages, armor skins, weapon skins etc. I could see the shotgun being unlocked at a much later level to be included in the load outs. However, if they make it so that rocket launcher, sniper rifle etc. can also be unlocked as you level up than Halo 4 will have more aspects of Call of Duty than I was hoping for. If everyone can eventually start with RL, Sniper, Shotgun, power weapons in general, than the game will be unbalanced in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventus Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 It isn't going to happen there was a neogaf post saying "the shotgun won't be in the load outs in the final build" Source? I hope this is true, in my opinion the shotgun should not be available for custom loadouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Magnus Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 There is NO way this would happen, unless 343 is smoking crack through their rectums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 No the shotgun is NOT a weapon in your loadouts...it spawns on the map in weapon drops and is a randomly available power weapon in your ordinance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuggedCrunkster Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 No the shotgun is NOT a weapon in your loadouts...it spawns on the map in weapon drops and is a randomly available power weapon in your ordinance I agree, I think that it will play the same role it has in previous games, with the exception of certain gametypes.

Well espcially seeing as the Needler is now considered a power weapon and only comes down in drops/ordinance, the shotgun will also be the case. Not only that, but a full list of what can be in your loadouts was released a while ago and the shotguns were not on there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I personally am excited for this. It will be hard to accomplish right away, but with a lot of tweaking and minor edits, 343i can make the matchmaking games feel a lot more fast paced than they were before by adding these weapons. Shotguns also have a downside with Promethean vision. There will not be as much camping as there was before with this new way to detect others.
