Slugs own. Shooting snipers in their stupid loving heads with slugs from a mile away in battlefield games is the best feel.

Gallant loads up his shotgun and rushes the enemy in a blaze of glory, tea bagging them when he's done with them

Goofus adapts to retarded concepts like "bullet drop" and "doping" that "enhance immersion"

Seriously slugs in Battlefield are hilarious. I was using the neostead on this one sniper who would go to the exact same place every god drat time and couldn't find me because he had lovely tunnel vision and I was moving like five feet and slugging him in the skull.

Sniper users are stupid.

BC2 had the best/most broken weapons, the laser accuracy on the shotguns with slugs was so awesome. you could pick off someone from across the map with the USAS-12 loaded with slugs and the accuracy perk.

VSS in any game is awesome, I like using it with a red dot sight or 4x since it's range is kinda lovely

I guess they nerfed slugs in later BF games because snipers were bitching about them.

Snipers ruin everything. There should be some sort of answer to the sniper question.

slugs were pretty awesome in BC2 but my heart pines for the return of an (actually potent) 40mm underbarrel fist of god in a newer game

VSS in BC2 owned, it was like a G3 that fired faster, loaded faster, and came with a free scope for the occasion where you aren't raking people with it at point blank.

And of course because snipers are idiots they never used it because it wasn't made for being useless.

Too bad that Battlefield games past Vietnam have been pretty bad, because shotgun slugs are awesome and more games need them.

Best way to play sniper in TF2
1) Forget about the sniper rifle
2) Equip bow and arrows, jar of piss and huge rear end machete
3) Go medieval on your foes, melee enemy snipers with a severe case of tunnel vision (all of them)
