Too much damage. They beat assault rifles on mid range.


Nerf.

And who says Assault Rifles have to be the most powerful weapon in the game?

Viva la Shotgun!

Besides, Assault Rifles always have long range on their side. But in the end player skill also works too.

Just wanna to tell you that on long range there rifle is more efficient. Shotgun on the long range is useless. On mid-range shotgun random bullets in one shot will be also good choice but not as rifle. And most efficient on close range will be shotgun also. Shotgun is very powerful but has big spread on the long distance, cause there are not one bullet in one shot, there are many, and that's why many many affecting factors that causes much damage if they will hit something.

I don't sighted that on the mid- range shotgun is "very powerful". You need 2-4 shoots to kill someone, depending on your luck and random. On close range 1 shoot 1 death, except some situation. Of course if guy will be in cloak on mid-distance shotgun will kill him with one shoot, cause cloak weaken player affecting factors, also there are excepting situations.

well Shotguns really don't need NERFs because thats how it is in real world also. Youd blow up to pieces target thats close to you because it has quite the power but at mid range i believe assault rifle will win since u can aim at head shots but with shotgun u can just blindly shoot.

IRL we dont have the nanosuit ))

Crysis is a close to mid range game. Thus balance must be made standing from this point. And not the real life situation (In BF's we have long range thus making shotguns balanced)

The thing is - they dominate assault rifles. "cos you dont need to aim, and can get a hellot of kills without any effort.

It's balanced

you need armor mode to survive more shots...

Or just dont let them get too close to you IMO.

Yes people with max perks sprinting around the map like speed demons with the cloak on is totally controllable. /sark

I use the marshall, it's not overpowered. I lose many battles in mid range. Even is short range sometime I get punched. I's not overpowered. If you don't like shotgun players, be far from them, ADS.

1.8 made the jackal single shot take 2 (3 i think in armor) to kill people now there balanced

Nice. but the marshall don't has to be nerfed. I mean, if you lose your first shot, you are almost dead.

im pretty sure the Marshall wasnt nerfed

I always use the jackal and trust me it's far from overpowered. I actually get pissed when I shoot some guy twice at close range and he turns around and headshots me with the scar and I die. It took a lot of practice for me to really get good at using the jackal. If anything the scar is overpowered, but besides that the game is pretty balanced.

Jackal single shot got nerfed, what more do you want. If you miss your first shot with a marshall, your SOL.
