Shotgun Suggestion - Slug Mode

[Uebermind]

Although the AT shotgun and the Engineer shotgun are both fricken awesome, I still think they could use some improvement. I think that when you right-click, instead of having that completely worthless zoom of two inches, you're able to switch to firing a slug (instead of buckshot). I don't think this would overpower either class, and actually make them effective at medium ranges.

that's a nice idea man. I agree.

Ya, Shotguns should have better accuracy anyways, but a Slug mode would rock

That's one of the best ideas I've ever heard in these forums. Hey EA, are you reading this?

You should post this on their official forum. Nice suggestion. :rock:

I agree with that. It would give the engineers a better chance of killing since they have to recover for their negative score given by "team-killing."

*rolls eyes*

But yea, suggest that to EA.

Okay, and the buckshot that's currently loaded in the shotgun will magically turn into slugs.

[=HzC=Heinz]

yeah. :)

[PuffyCow]

No, no, no. It will have to take time of course

They could make it so you press "change fire mode" and your next reload will be slugs.

Okay, and the support guy in a jeep can magically resupply a tank just by driving behind him. (thats a bad reason for not having this feature)

Back on topic, I think it would be a good idea, but the firing time would/should be slower than the buckshot firing time.

Exactly! And this would be up to EA of course, but here are some further suggestions to this mod:

1) Narrow the crosshair a little bit when you're firing slugs. (Since there's no spread in the shot, you should gain a bit more accuracy)
2) (As the person mentioned above) have a slower rate of fire for firing slugs
3) More recoil for firing slugs
4) More damage for slugs against armored classes (AT, Assault, Support), less damage for buckshot against armored classes

And this one's just for me:

5) Doveshot to shoot in the as*es of the people who punish stupid TKs (without any penalty to you of course :laugh: )

I have thought about this too
Its a very good idea

That would be a totally cool idea.

Still EA will never put that in the game as they don't listen to fans,
They would never put fan content in as they will think they have not created it blahblah

Still i would like that mod,
Cool idea dude!

[Degenetron]

Great idea man, we should let ea know about this.
