I love this guy's videos so much
[QUOTE=Katatonic717;45788375]I love this guy's videos so much[/QUOTE] Same, he definantly has the voice for it.
Shotguns are my favorite weapon in any FPS. They're just so fun to use.
Also I can't wait for him to talk about the History of the Tommy Gun.
XboxAhoy is great. His Call of Duty guides are so much fun.
[QUOTE=Agoat;45788438]XboxAhoy is great. His Call of Duty guides are so much fun.[/QUOTE] I guess he changed his name to just "Ahoy" now, to be less tethered to the Xbox brand or something.
As much as double-barrel has it's place in history I'm more of pump-action fan.

[QUOTE=Marden;45788502]As much as double-barrel has it's place in history I'm more of pump-action fan.[/QUOTE] As much as there's a satisfying rack of a shotgun, so is there that well-placed blast of both barrels at once. And it's just a weapon that perfectly balances itself. Extreme damage, questionable accuracy, and a reload just long enough to punish you for missing. Whenever I go back to play Doom, it's my standard go-to weapon because it handles all situations well - except extremely large groups, groups of tough enemies, and enemies at really long distance. :v:

Anyone that thinks shotguns aren't the best guns in FPS games is wrong. Scientifically backed truth facts.
The boomstick will always be the greatest FPS weapon.
[QUOTE=Skyward;45788542]Anyone that thinks shotguns aren't the best guns in FPS games is wrong. Scientifically backed truth facts.[/QUOTE] An intense (non-military shooter) FPS that focuses on machine guns and assault rifles without a good shotgun always feels like something's missing, big time.
[QUOTE=Skyward;45788542]Anyone that thinks shotguns aren't the best guns in FPS games is wrong. Scientifically backed truth facts.[/QUOTE] Try using one in ArmA and see how far you get :v I prefer pump actions (or semiautos) in games, I'll take rate of fire over sheer damage any day
Biden would be proud.

[QUOTE=blackachu;45788556]The boomstick will always be the greatest FPS weapon.[/QUOTE] I think it's lodged deeply into our gamer minds, old school shooters were pretty much in small spaces and shotgun was just perfect for jumping around the corners to pack the punch then hide again to reload, not to mention the spread of pellets which always caused additional targets to be struck thus making it great.
I found the Wolfenstein: New Order Double Barrel to be extremely satisfying to use.
Well I do love using shotguns in FPS'(particularly ones that have gore like Wolfenstein where it's even more satisfying to use them), I prefer to use weapons that have a bit more versatility such as being effective at most ranges rather than just close quarters and vice-versa with sniper and bolt-action rifles, which are typically better in long to medium range. The reason why shotguns aren't very good in ArmA is because, ArmA primarily focuses on long to medium range combat where it's better to have a rifle than a shotgun and hell even in close quarters, most people in ARMA prefer to have a rifle or SMG than a shotgun, but that's primarily because the close-quarters combat in ARMA isn't as good as most as other games, or at least in ARMA 1 and 2, can't say anything about ARMA 3 because there is no shotguns in it outside the ones released by the community.
WOOOOO Bulletstorm! Seriously the Boneduster is one of the top shotguns on my list.
I bought an O/U a couple years back and it's the funnest gun I've ever used.
You can tell by his voice alone that you're going to learn something today.
now i want to play RDR again
I prefer the minigun any day,

what he doesn't mention is that rapidly firing two blasts in succession from a double barrel is fun about 0.5seconds than the recoil hits you and you moss your target completely :v: they're fun guns to dick around with on a range blowing shit up though
This was the perfect video to take my morning coffee with
