Even though it doesn't do jack shit to those walking ballface tree trunks, it was cool.

going top speed, catching up to the flag carrier, and hearing one last "Shazbot!" as you blow their face in. tribes ascend.

Metroid Prime 2's Light Beam; it spreads and sets fire to enemies. it also has rainbows inside and looks badass.

[QUOTE=Cheesedragon;40588364]What's wrong with firing from both barrels? Wait, is the bottom barrel actually a flashlight?[/QUOTE]

...it's the fuckin' tube, AKA the place where the shells are held. The HL2 shotty is based on the SPAS-12, go look it up

Fixed it.

It's wrong because the gun doesn't have two barrels, there's only one.

The bottom tube holds the shells that you push into the shotgun, and it has a flashlight on the end of it.

[BloodShot12]

Precursor to the FEAR shotgun, the NOLF 2 (ithaca 37) shotty functions similarly, except it has an even more impactful sound and really nice recoil animations to go along with it.

Plus it just looks cool. And it has the option of loading [I]explosive ammunition[/I].

You can't survive Resident Evil without a shotgun :v:

Just look at that reload.
It also fires explosive buckshot.

Doom 3's shotgun. Doesn't look too good in first person (imo), but makes up for it with great sounds and animations.

[wug]

Yes, you might be thinking "wow, double barrel is superior, more firepower, more satisfying, more badass"
This thing is sexy. When you pump that shotgun it sounds sexy. The firing sound is sexy, and it looks sexy.

The shotguns in Max Payne 1.
They're all so much fun to use in a dive or slomo.

The Spas-12 from the World is not Enough 64 had a fully automatic mode, probably one of the most powerful shotguns in a game.

Believe it or not, M3 Stuart in Company of Heroes had an ability to shoot like a shotgun, which was really useful.

[IMG]http://images.wikia.com/bioshock/images/9/9e/Bioshock-infinite-shotgun-lg.jpg[/IMG]
An over all joy to use.

[IMG]http://images.wikia.com/half-life/en/images/3/38/Shotgun_1.png[/IMG]
Same as doom's shotty.

[IMG]http://i.minus.com/jbtJppHliC9Ekn.jpg[/IMG]
While its actual ingame effectiveness is iffy, this thing shoots foot long spikes, and was made to hunt thresher maws.

[Minimal86]

Pre nerf dual 1887's in mw2. Spas-12 in mw2 is good too

Only shotgun worth using in the game.
[t]http://images.wikia.com/saintsrow/images/a/a7/WW_gravedigger_lg.jpg[/t]
Fully upgraded I basically use nothing but it. Triple barreled with incendiary rounds. Kicks so much ass.

this badass motherfucker

generates so much heat you only get one shot, but MAN is that a shot

In fact you can actually hear the kinetic dampers going after firing so it doesn't snap your arm

[zugu]

I love the combat shotgun in L4D2.

[Black034]

Pancor Jackhammer from Far Cry (1).. used to play that shit online when I was like 13..

Couldnt control myself when I had that gun, so much blood everywhere.

Such a pity L4D2 had such crap weapon animations. L4D1's were so much better.

I honestly can't believe it. A whole shotgun thread and [I]not one person[/I] posted Unreal 2's Crowd Pleaser, quite possibly the only shotgun in the whole Unreal universe.

I love the chunkiness of the design, the huge bolt coming out the side, the nonsensical rails strapped onto the front, the [I]massive [/I]damage it does, and that amazing firing sound.
Of course, the [I]incendiary shell alt-fire[/I] works too if you want to have your enemies helplessly run around burning, but it's spectacular either way, and so satisfying to use.

Couldn't find a better image, but basically Dead Space 3's Military Engine/Conic Dispersal, worked real well especially with max damage, increased ROF and mag size. I'd usually have it underbarrel with the upper Military Engine/Rail Accelerator.
