    What kind of shotguns can we expect?

Don't particularly care about the 1887, and the spaz is just used in so many games it doesn't have the same appeal it used to so I'd use shotguns more if the shotguns in FC were more exciting. I typically do carry one since they're great for when you're spotted & in close quarters. Again, part of what I love about having 4 weapons in FC, you can always be prepared! Still crossing my fingers we get a beefy new shotty in FC5, something akin to the USAS-12 from FC2, the shotgun that to this day remains the best on FC has ever had, imo of course...

    USAS-12



    AA-12

    In terms of stuff I wish was fixed, I would say the inconsistency in enemy awareness of the player. If there are two dudes standing near by each other and I ice one, the other guy doesn't even move. But if I miss the shot, suddenly everyone in the county knows exactly where I am. It's just a little frustrating.

    Also, whats the deal with only having double-barrels that can only fire both barrels at once? Cmon man

    To each their own but i actually hate automatics and typically don't use them on my first playthrough of a game
    Didn't mean to derail the other thread but i am curious about the variety this time around

    My number one vote remains the USAS-12. Someone in the other thread said he didn't think it 'fit' (whatever that means) but I loved the gun in FC2, and that is literally the only game I've ever played that had one, so much like the Mac-10 they brought back I'd love to see them bring back the USAS as well...

    I mean, this thing is a beast!

    Some people want all new upgraded shotguns in the game. That's why I want "Far Cry Classic Western" in the future. Good, open world, first person shooter. Not DLC! But a big game! There will be no super modern shotguns!
