From an inspired self-induced typo, let's all talk about Shotguns through the gaming ages. From the spirte based, double whammy of the Double-barreled Shotgun of Doom, to the more tactical based ones from various squad based shooters, discuss your favourite two-handed boomsticks nyar.

I love double shotguns in Timesplitters 2, and the shotguns in Halo 1 and 2.

The shotgun is by far my favorite weapon in Halo 2, next to the Energy Sword. Those two pull off a pretty deadly combination.

I always found the Shotgun on Halo 2 lacking. Then again I always played on Legendary, which means usually a full clip of Brute Shots to any enemy's face to take them down. You'd be better off throwing a twig whittled into a Polar Bear most of the time, it'd produce the same effect.

Ahh, legendary. I've only beaten Normal and Hard, and I've been working my way up to Legendary. However, in Normal and Hard, the shotgun can usually take anything out in one or two hits at close range. But I don't know about Legendary.

System Shock 2's Shotgun is disgustingly satisfying.

DIS-FREAKIN'-GUSTING.

It has different calibre bullets, upgrades, and is probably the only shotgun to work effectively at long distances.

Incidently it's nice to finally meet someone else who's played SS2. Seems like I was the only person on the planet to have done so. I eagerly await the return of Little Miss Psychotic AI in some form...eventually.

Shoyku posted a thread ages ago explaining that it had become abandonware, I downloaded it almost immediately and fell in love.

Shame the Shotgun sorta runs out of steam by the time you get the Assault Rifle.

I still used it for kicks though.

I like the Shredder shotgun in Turok 2, the Striker in RE4, and you cant forget Ash's Boomstick.

Wait until the zombie comes close, push upward on the Pad. Watch the head splat all over the room. Then watch the zombie walking a few steps before falling on the floor. :)

I like Halo's. It's balanced, yet still satisfying.

I can't remember if there's a big difference in the shotgun between the two Halo's.

There's fun to be had with a handful of guys all equipped with shotguns and no shields on Lockout.

The ISA shotgun from Killzone is neat, but the reload time (between rounds, and when loading new shells) is quite long. The secondary fire option - both barrels at once - is guaranteed destruction for nearly anything in the way, though.
I also like the Helghast assault rifle - a 30-round automatic rifle, with a single-round shotgun barrel beneath the main barrel. Great for surviving close-quarters ambushes, when regular automatic fire alone isn't enough.

Resident Evil 4 really isn't the best title to represent standard series gameplay and traditional features, but I'm at the mercy of Google Images.

abandonware is still illeagal for 95 years after general release of a product. Unless of course the company releases it to public domain. :(

Great game though.
