Shotgun For "Light Body Type"

Post » Wed May 18, 2011 9:37 pm

Hey, Do you think the Mossington Shotgun should be available for Light? I think it should because for one its not that heavy and theres BARLEY any guns for light. . . The shotgun would be awesome for it since the light body type is fast :) What do you think? :thumbsup:

I think that the Mossington Shotgun should not be a light weapon. But I do really want them to make a new light shotgun. Possibly a lever action shotgun or sawed off shotgun. Something a little weaker than the other shotguns to make it fair.

Yeah i think that is a better idea, I hope they do :( Cause i like to be Light but its "Hard" to have fun being him when you die so easily and the choice of weapons are low D:
but i still use light alot but mostly medium.

Give mediums/heavies a mid range/power semi auto shottie like a Saiga and then make the mossington a "light" weapon so everyone can use it.

That would give us three options

pump - mossington
burst - hjammerdeim
semi auto (or maybe full auto :D) - new gun

If you compare the ARs and the SMGs, SMGs have higher RoF and ammo reserves. It should be the same for a light shotgun. It could be either a over-under double-barrel shotgun (similar to the http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Olympia from CoD Ops) or a clip-fed shotgun that has ~4 shots in a mag and fires semi-auto.

I switched from Light to Medium just to use the shotgun; sometimes I regret the switch but the shotgun is pretty cool.

... except for the times it's as weak as. I really dont think the Mossington would be bad in the hands of a light character. Something more powerful for a medium would be welcome.

The Mossington would be horribly, horribly OP if I could use it as a Light.

Leave the shotguns where they are.

I wouldn't object if they made a shotgun specifically for Lights, but it would have to be significantly less effective than the Mossington to be balanced, and then everyone would complain that it's not powerful enough. I won't say it can't be done, but I don't see a way to make a Light shotgun that's balanced and still actually feels enough like a shotgun for players to want to use it.

A Light with a Shotty would be too effective and nullify the ARs in the game. Too overpowered for that reason. Besides, Lights don't need anymore abilities they are already beastly!

Well yeah there are already good but i think they should add more weapons to Light, 1 or 2 couldn't hurt.

Double Barrel shotgun, Lupara-style.

Less damage-per-blast compared to Mossington, massive knockdown boost. It can't two-shot a light with no buffs, but it should do 3/5 of a light's max health and massive knockdown, so more of a support weapon.

Double Barrel shotgun, Lupara-style.

This pretty much sums it up.
Though I'd prefer a Lever-action with a 4 rounds capacity.


And I think it should be possible to kill an unbuffed Medium with two full hits (who is not using Battle Hardened anyway).
