Only Three Shotguns? really..... | Forums

Ok so the title is kinda wrong, It doesn't bother me that there are three shotguns in the game, its the three choices that they picked. I would of liked to see M870, Mossberg 500, M1014, etc... rather then the SPAS-12, Serbu Super Shorty, and the SASG-12. that's what i meant.

Shotguns aren't a stealth option so I don't mind there being three.

Shotguns generally do the same thing, so if you have three that are a bit more specialized in a certain way that's all you need. Not to mention you can add to their differences with customization.

Yeah i get your point, but still

Indeed + looking at all the gameplay footage that was released the game doesnt seem to be well suited for shotgun play. 3 is still decent

Probably for those who like the all out assault play really. Can blast anyone running in close.

Surely there is more weapons in the game that we did not see in the GP videos. Of the weapons I've seen, I'm satisfied but we all want more. I would say though, there should be a few more shotguns in the game.

I used the SASG-12 during my play time. It was awesome.

I love a good breach and clear but this game looks like it rewards the stealth approach. I guess they don't call it Ghost Recon for nothing.

Fingers crossed for a "universal key" (under-barrel shotgun attachment)

Stealth gameplay or not, there isn't really a ton of room on the modern battlefield for shotguns. They are mostly employed as breaching tools these days... even in the 1800s shotguns weren't used an awful lot by forces that had access to muskets or later rifles.

Shotguns are fairly imprecise, not very useful outside their intended (narrow) role, and (without unusual ammunition) do little to modern armor.

None of this is to say that there isn't room for a shotgun on the team, but there isn't a lot of circumstance where a shotgun is flat out superior to something else.

Glassghost brings up a good point as well, the masterkey is almost certainly going to be in there. We know there's underbarrel grenade launchers for sure, and Future Soldier featured an underbarrel shotty way back in 2009.

Besides, there could still be several shotguns at launch. We haven't seen everything yet!
