Why are shotguns always the most fun guns to use in games?

i've gotten wreckt with the double barreled, but i dont know how to use it.

then again, im gettting silky smooth 30 fps/200 ms because everyone in my apartment building is netflix and chill/facetiming with their family at 4k/120fps

I have no idea why when most of the time they're pretty much glorified melee weapons, it becomes a dice roll whether or not enough pellets will connect to do anything, and if you don't kill them with the first shot then you're fucked unless you're fighting the worst player in the world.

Objectively shit on some of the bigger maps where you shouldn't be running a shotty anyways. But on every other map all you need to do is use ambush tactics and defend the tighter areas and you can clean up with the shottys.

What about doom 3?

it's so weird how this biz meme proliferated to other boards
the original fucking meme was about the inflationary pressure created by quantitative easing

AR cucks literally have less skill than shotgun chads

Not really weird. Literally all Yas Forums memes leak to other boards and then the rest of the Internet. It's how it's always worked

>It pisses of the faggots who think Sniping is the the ultimate test of masculinity and skill
ironic because when you think about it there is nothing more pussified than killing your enemy from a safe distance. even russia realized this and had thousands of women enlisted as snipers.

I always had a great time with auto shotguns.With pump not so much because in most of games it takes a year to pull the forearm.

Because games tend to give shotguns arbitrary range and falloff limitations, which give the shotgun an added layer of gameplay. It's like a minigame, staying within optimal range and avoiding areas where you could be caught at a disadvantageous range. Snipers get to play the opposite game, avoiding the tight, confined areas that shotguns dominate. AR exclusive players never have to think about these things, which is why they're always so confused and upset when a shotgun or sniper player completely decimates them. They don't understand that the other player is using the map to maximize their weapon's effectiveness, all they understand is "me shoot many times more, why me die?"

"Me shooty shoot bang bang many time, shotgun only shooty shot once! Shotgun no even steven, gods need give it the bombad nerf!"

They're more punishing towards people who under perform. You have to navigate the map and avoid dying long enough to get in range and land a clean shot, and if you miss that first shot you'll usually die due to reload time. With every other gun other than the sniper you're pumping out so much lead and trying to maintain your accuracy that it's more like painting a fence to kill someone with it, and you don't have to worry so much about even a handful of missed shots.

i remember Bad Company 1 being really slow with its pump actions, I think i counted a 2.5 seconds between each shot. Made a satisfying noise when shooting, but the ragdolls not so much.

yeah, the R9-0 is still sort of good and I think that was the first gun I got to max level, but the 725 sucks now, the new MASS-12 sucks shit, the Origin suck as well on anything other than Shipment and the pump shotgun can become good after wasting hours leveling it up to get the best attachments when you could have used an m4 from the start.

I always use speed/stealth perks with Shotgun. Bonus point if you can slide while shooting.

What are the games that let me use a double barreled shotgun?
I really love those.

Single-Fire
"BOOM" sound
High Damage

It's just super satisfying instead of holding fire on some pea shooters going pf pf pf pf

More like clears the path

Was patched in one month.

Because people are idiots who think that shotguns need no aim despite needing the same aim as most sniper rifles. Since sniper rifles are portrayed as elite high skill weapons and shotguns are portrayed as retard cannons, people think shotguns are cheap.

None of the weapons in Doom 3 are fun to use though.

>reading about the history of shotguns in the military
>in between WW1 and 2 Brits tested shotguns extensively after being impressed with their trench clearing abilities
>determine they beat rifles and submachine guns at at close to medium range, and are considered effective up to 75 yards
>shotguns in games have an effective range of 3 yards and even that is pushing it
Fucking why even "realistic" games like Siege there's two shotguns that aren't pieces of shit and you still need to be right next to the person you're shooting to have a chance of downing them in less than 3 shots.

Because you are handicapped faggot monkey who lack tracking aim skill to use normal automatic weapons and likes when he frequently stuck into people at CQ areas where they have no chance against you shit bursting noob stick.
