Quite simply the reloading for this gun is a **** take, and im not on about the time :P more the fact u cant stop reloading and shoot with only a few extra shots in it, im sure you could in real life so why not in the game?

Re: dao-12 reload
yeah, now you have to switch weapon and then back again to be able to interupt the reload. -
Re: dao-12 reload
You can switch to pistol then back to shotty real fast and you can fire with whatever you had loaded it to up to that point.Comment

Re: dao-12 reload
With the DOA you had to take out everyone near you already, I dont think any complaint about this weapon(unless you say its TO good) is justified...and yes I like to use it :)Comment

Re: dao-12 reload
It only takes a fraction of a second to switch to another gun and back again, or even to cycle through all the weapons back to the shotgun so whats the problem. Its already the most powerful CQC weapon in the game.
Aren't all the single reload shotguns like that in the game anyway (i can't remember off hand as i mainly use the DAO-12)Comment

Re: dao-12 reload
I was a big fan of dao-12 when you could still dolphin dive, bunny hoop and shoot at the same time. It was rather effective. Now it is next to useless.
When playing AT I use SRAW or pistol, very rarely the basic LMG, and DAO is on the end of my list. And for CQF I think Jackhammer is still better with its quick reload time. On med range both shotguns are equally inefficient and - unless you play against total newbies you will be killed 2 times before the enemy actually comes into your effective range.

Re: dao-12 reload
You are using the AT and Engi kit's wrong. The weapons are not your primary. These are support type classes, not assault meant to go head to head with other foot troops. You attack armor, then fall back, regroup and attack again with your team. The DAO is for self defense if you need it, and it works very well for that. I wish it used slugs instead of shot, but if you have medium to long range enemy's hitting you, stop standing in the middle of nowhere with no cover. You also have a fairly powerful pistol for those up close and personal surprises.Comment

Re: dao-12 reload
Nah, it was so very nice to play against those cripples who could only cry 'stop bunnyhopping noob!!!' and could not hit a thing :-) God, I miss those merry times.Originally posted by Leeus
Re: dao/jhammer - there is no absolute 'truth' to be evaluated. Its just a matter of taste. I prefer Jackhammer. And when I am engie on foot I mostly kill using a pistol anyway.
