(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay everybody must now by now that shotguns suck d ick in this game. Except for the Striker( I personally have gotten it Gold Camo)
When you equip it with extended mags and range, the reason is because it is the only semi automatic shotgun in the game, that is why it kills faster than the other shotguns, if you have a fast trigger finger even better.

The rest are shit, literally they barely get you kills

This is the order of the Shotguns from best to worst IMO

1. Striker
2. Model 1887
3. USAS 12
4. AA-12
5. KSG 12
6. SPAS-12

Sadly the best shotgun in MW2 is the worst in MW3
I have tweeted Robert Bowling at least 5 or 6 times about buffing up the Shotguns or just to bring back their mw2 counterparts
No answer.

and why did they took away the akimbo option for the Model
that would have been nice if it could have made the cut.

So everyone tweet this mother****er stealth fuking clown about the Shotguns and to beef them up

This is now actually more of a rant than a discussion.

So guys what are your thoughts on the shotguns in this game.

EDIT:

They have just announced that they are going to patch the extended mag glitch, thus making the shotguns suck even more. Lets tweet Robert bowling about it so that it doesn't get patched.

Striker only one balanced vs full autos
Naked it good when you upgrade it even better. Still think shotguns should fire more pellets like in MW2.
Right now they fire 6 compared to 9.
That helps shotguns alot in this game is damage and mag glitch for more pellets.
Next thing is wasted attachments which don't help shotguns :/ or ADS does not help shotguns like in MW2.

Naked shotguns don't work right in this game lol
Should not be forced to upgrade shotguns to make them work :/

Upgraded

1. Striker
2. SPAS-12
3. USAS 12
4. Model 1887
5. AA-12
6. KSG 12

Nonupgraded

1. Striker
2. Model 1887
3. USAS 12
4. SPAS-12
5. AA-12
6. KSG 12

IF the only thing IW does is make the mag glitch standard on shotguns i be semi happy. I wish they gave them more range and damage. Along with making ADS matter on the pump action shotguns right now it best to hip fire shotguns in all cases.

Still once you upgrade them pretty decent but compared to smgs weak and limited :/
Why use a KSG 12 over spas 12 it has less range and less damage :/
I fail to see the logic IW had.

MW2 shotguns just outclass all the MW3 ones. Apart from the striker with range and damage along with mags that would fix into MW2 nice

Maybe but I have seen guys rape with the USAS more than the spas or aa12

I've been using the AA-12 but I'll attempt getting a good game with the SPAS-12.

Ive tried using the spas got it up to level 7 and quit using it.
It is so dumb that at point blank range you get a hitmarker.
They should just bring the mw2 one.

They should just let shot guns as our secondary weapon like mw2.

USAS 12 should be higher on the list....
Before upgrades and after

KSG 12 is far far far worse before upgrades compared to the USAS12
I respect the gun after using the KSG 12 before upgrades.

I just started using the striker on mw3. played with it for two hours:
Level 18
133 kills
99 deaths

Then I played Mw2 for 2 hours with the Spas-12
174 kills
40 deaths
I got 2 nukes and 3 ac130's in total.


There is a big difference between the two games with the shotguns. I agree that they were too overpowered last time but they needed that. The fact that they were secondaries made it unfair (Scar H + Spas), but now that they are primaries they need to be able to compete again.

My review of the Striker: The striker is obviously the best of the current shotguns but it needs more shells. I think it averages 5-6 shells normally which is because it is semi-auto, but it's range is pretty terrible so the shells are all spread out. Extended mags gives it about 9-10 shells which turns it awesome with range. Although the going all the way to level 26 might be too much for that. Decent guns but it's very outmatched.


Personally, I think they should remove the extended mags glitch and just make the extended shells' stats what it begins with.

Shotguns in hardcore game modes are great! If you use the model 1887 with range you can shoot across the map with it. It's not too bad in core either
