Today I bring you a little known gameplay mechanic which was added into BO2 but has some pretty far reaching effects in terms of gameplay.

If you played the game enough you may have noticed this I did. At first thinking I was mad so did some searching and others have noticed it too and tested it.
Not until a couple days ago driftor on youtube made a video on it which explained it better and gives some visual proof.


This is why the KSG 12 sucks ! hurts the other shotguns too.
My view it should only effect snipers and no other weapon in the game.

I don't mind so much on other weapons, but on the KSG it really is a big deal.. if you miss the first shot you're dead, unless your enemy is stupid or blind.


Yea thats why I use the Remington instead.. gets the job done and easy to use.

We don't know if that was the point. If I had to guess it was due to snipers and dexterity to balance it. Sadly nobody has explained the decisinos in this game at all and couple which puzzle me.
Does make walking around corners ADS more powerful as a result or ADS and not moving.

I've noticed this a lot. It's frustrating at times, specially using the shotguns. I've had my aim dead set on an enemy after sprinting and still ended up missing 2+ shots.. Not much I can do besides deal with it, or not sprint ever again and sit in a corner and wait for unsuspecting victims to pass by? Oh shit, that sounds exactly like camping...


Not sure if it a good sign I can spot stuff like this lol
Great to see I was not the only one who noticed it , big shame it hurts the KSG 12 the most.
It sort of makes the shotgun class not worth using on top of the heavy nerfs to hipspread.
Only thing to do is put on quickdraw or ADS wait and fire.
Makes the KSG 12 super hard to use, would explain why that gun can miss so often.

:( yep
KSG 12 quite a big deal and ruins the weapon. Only counter ish is to run quickdraw on the KSG12 but that a point to make the gun useable.

Yup. With the KGS being maybe the only shotgun that actually requires you to aim down the sights for a hit, this shit makes it a tough battle. The hipfire with the KGS is 90% a miss. I gave up on using the KGS before I was trying to get gold. I had the bloodthirsty challenge left and I just could not do it for the life of me. Then my friend, who plays CoD almost never, started to play on my account with the KGS and its like they were meant to be. He finished the challenge and I was just like WTF! haha anyways, got gold, but haven't used it since because it's pretty hard with the whole delay and shit.

Indeed, it's so fucking annoying when I have to stand still to properly quickscope.

A friend of mine was trying to get the bloodthirsty challenge done on the KSG 12 and found it hard.
He tried for days in the end he joined my game when I was doing no perks for the SVU and killed me five times.
That bastard!!!

I found the bloodthirsty easy for the KSG 12 once I took into account the delay. Played it slow and baited people into mid range. Putting focus on one challenge most of the time means you won't get it.
Being stupid I reset it gun level again which means I need to earn all the unlocks again.

Pr0n ftw
Shotguns are already overpowered why make em more accurate? In my opinion the shotguns are either fine or overpowered, you can fix the KSG which seems more affected by this but leave the other shotguns alone, change the delay for other guns and i agree that sniper should stay like that too.
