Some guns are good, some ok and some bad.
Firstly the pistols are underpowered. IT takes soooo many bullets to kill someone.
And the same with shotguns, mainly the Marshall. I'm sure people will agree with me. I used it, sometimes shoot an unarmoured guy at point blank, and i get a hit marker. And on and armoured enemy, it takes 4 hits to kill them. It's pump action for crying out loud!!!!!

I think it should be:
1 shot:Point blank, unarmoured target
1 shot, 1 melee/2 shots: armoured target

IT won't be overpowered, because it's a shotgun. It is supposed to dominate at close range and svck at long range.
I find a SCAR or any non-pistol is better than a shotgun in any way.
Increase their power, please.

If you don't do that, increase the aim assistance at least or do something.

*applies changes and watches as people complain about Halo style shotgun campers around every corner*

Inside of ~12m, 4 of the Marshall's 8 pellets need to hit centre mass (or the upper arm) to one-shot a non-Armour Mode target and hitting their hand only reduces the damage by 20%, so it's very much capable of winning close-range encounters.

Unfortunately the game is 70% close range, the marshall is fine, people will only go into armor mode if they feel threatened, at that point your screwed, but play it predator, and your unstoppable with the marshall. As for the pistol, you just click to slow

Marshall is absolutely dominant close range if you are hitting your shots. You need to flank people with it though. You cant just run straight at someone hoping you can outfire them. Unless you slide =D

Armor mode is just a well placed shot + melee and they are done

I think we may just have different definitions of close range, because the shotgun already does the damage you requested when I play with it, doubt I'm the only one

Pistols are awesome especially with the 40% increase in speed with rapid fire (believe that is correct) even without it they are awesome just aim for upper body/head and it's between 3-5 shots everytime

Hello, Jackle single shot.

Pistols are fine.

Marshall need a little love, its pump action is soooo slow.

Got like 20 something kills and 4 deaths using nothing but a pistol a few times over in team deathmatch.

Nova - best pistol, very reliable gun, i love this thing.
Hammer - Not as reliable as the nova i find, but nevertheless this 3 bullet kill gun is not underpowered.
AY69(or w/e) - this id agree on, i cant get a kill with this thing, its an abomination, but appparantly some people have figured it out.
Majestic - This is only bad, if you are, it 1 shots stealthers, 2 shots unarmoured, make every shot count and u have the most awesome pistol ever.

And now, the marshal, What are you smoking man?!?! i alternate main wep between marshal/MIKE, got about 1.1k kills for both.
The marshal is excellent! you need to get into the habit of instantly melee'ing right after you shoot, that usually counters the 1 shot sometimes not killing, people with armour are just as easy, the same thing applies except if ur too far then make it 2 shells instead of the melee, the Marshal is fine, infact its better than that, its amazing.

Hello, Jackle single shot.
This. The Jackal with single-shot is devastating. Too bad I can't single-shot and have extended mags simultaneously...

AY69 Secondary needs more beef, when I pull it out I want to know if I fire first I will win.

Well, with all you people disagreeing, I guess the marshall won't be stronger.
I'll try shoot then punch

Jackle's single shot has too much of a delay between shots.

In crysis 1 shotgun was a real treat to have in your inventory, but in C2 ummm not so much, there are many better guns in c2. I am playing the SP campaign 2nd time and didn't like the shotgun during both games. Because by the time you get close to an alien or human they are smart enough to find you even if you are cloaked so no point then. just my thought though.

I completely agree, to be honest if someone took a bullet to the chest they would die! (now pistols) if I put AT LEAST 2 bullets into a guy he would die, maybe not instantly but defo after a while. Crytek should at least consider this...............

Sg are terrible on small map like wall street,just a bad idea to upgrade that gun.
Only scar need to be nerf !

The AY69 is awesome, you just need skill (and extended mag) - M12 has almost no recoil but AY69 is like a fast-fire M12.
Majestic. Totally. Awesome.

Thank you all for the superb suggestion! I took the Jackal out for a spin and she blew me away!
