Also increase the recoil. Nobody should be able to dump 10 rounds of shotty ammo and not even lose a bead on their target. It should be wildly swinging - possibly even pushing you backward after a few shots. I mean I had a friend when I was in high school who pulled both barrels on a double-barrel 12 gauge on a fence post (we'd been pheasant hunting and he was afraid to shoot it, so we started razzing him until he got pissed and pulled both barrels), and it flat knocked him on his rear end and his shoulder was bruised to poo poo. But he hosed that fence post up something fierce.

About that...

Lol at all the people using anything but the SAC3's for run n gun builds (objecitvely the best run and gun weapons in the game).

Lol at all the people using gung-ho on shotgun builds and not understanding how spread works.

Starting semi auto pistol is whatever. Rail pistol is the loving best (1 shot per reload, OHK at close-med range). Grach is a two round burst fire pistol, its... weird, but I like it. PDW is a giant flopping piece of dick that only tickles the enemy even if you unload a full clip into their face point blank.

About that...

Good lord do those things weigh 20+ lbs? That guy barely got the gun up and on target to hit that bottle, and shooting skeet and flying targets is what shotguns were made for. :catstare:

At 4:10 or so when he pulls it out of the water you can see it's swinging around pretty badly.

While there's not going to be shoulder-dislocating recoil, that video shows that it's still an unwieldly weapon and you couldn't hold it on a bead for poo poo, even with the flash/recoil suppressor on the barrel.

^^^ That's the magazine up front. You'd think a 2" barrel would make it ridiculously inaccurate as well.

Yeah that's why I made the comment about him barely hitting the bottle - I don't know that I'd want to use a shotgun which couldn't be used to quickly and accurately use for wingshots - if you entered a room with one you'd need to choose a side and then just unload while you swung to the other side - and if someone's in the corner you'd already be toast.

The AA-12 is something I'd like, shoot a hole in a wall and then stick the barrel through and magdump through the hole, it seems like it'd be crazy dangerous to lead into a room with - as well as being crazy dangerous if you're NOT the one in the lead.. :aaa:

I'm still at work so I haven't played since the patch, but the notes said something about adjustments to the huge "here is the gamertag/ID of the person currently talking" thing. Did it shrink it? Move it somewhere less annoying? Both?

I don't know if this is the case, but I was doing ok with UAV, Assault Drone, Bombing Run and Paladin:

I saw people were highly suggesting dual SMGs and remote turrets so I was hoping to improve my score and now I can't break even, any tips with dual smgs and remote turret would be appreciated.

Static Rook posted:

I'll have to look up my KF5 spaz build, but I know I run 2 of every perk, no grenades, and Exo Stim for the extra health. You definitely want Gung Ho and the attachment that improves your hip firing. Basically you run, slide, and stomp everywhere and jut hip fire all the time. Probably not that useful in TDM but a shitload of fun in DOM. Had a few games last night where I was 10 / 10 / 10. I also run the UAV + Extra assist points and Turret with sentinal system Streaks, both with support. I was using a trapped care package, but people catch on too quick if you stay in the same lobby.

You'll be in the top 3, of fun

EDIT

Put me in with the SAC3-haters. Couldn't get into them after using the KF5 for so long.

Yeah I'll give this a go. Even though you can use it as an AR I think it still needs laser especially for Dom

I haven't bothered with overcharged/stomp but should be fun if you line it up right on Dom

Only problem is I really hate the iron sights on the kf5 but so many good attachments I want! I'd probably run extended mags too after unlocking those. Is there a rapid fire unlock? Do you run fast hands for the reload while sprinting?

So for exo stim it never seems like it does anything. Just tap it right before a fight? It is pretty short is overcharged should help with that

Should be noted that I only play Dom and could care less about KDR so I just run around like a loon capturing points (anyone that has played with me can attest to that) so that build is right up my ally

How fun is slam dunking dudes? I feel like I'd miss most the time. You just jump and then hit the crouch button?
