Good day SA soldiers. I hope all of you having a good time in Sudden Attack, keep practicing and I hope more players joining in our future event, make it in-game or on-ground. So, whats the topic today? Yeah, I want to talk about shotguns, and how people always underestimate and neglect it.
After 4 decades living and 2 decades playing games, make it online, off-line or stand alone, I always see that players tend to neglect shotguns in most FPS. They would go for M4 Series, AK Series, MP Series and Sniper Rifles. Since the time of Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Half-life, CS and now Sudden Attack, the trend never changed.
Why? One main reason would be mindset. Faster firing guns makes better kills. That are most of players thinking like that. Thus, shotguns always be the last choice of weapons. But, in skillful hands, shotguns are deadly. I remember the 1st time I join CS, there is one guy who always use shotgun and kill loads of people before he goes down. I still remember what he said,
"1 main attribute that you MUST have to handle shotguns is PATIENCE. Without it, you might as well don't use it at all. Using shotgun means less bullet waste and make confirm kill,"
What he said make perfect sense. Using shotguns are not like using the automatic rifles and SMGs, spraying your way through from the front. Instead, using shotguns are more reliable on tactical movement, ambushes and surprise attacks. A 1 second delay in surprise attacks with shotgun means percentage for a confirm kill much more higher.
I have been practicing a lot with shotguns since then, well I'm not that good with it, but I'm not that suck with it either. At least I understand using shotgun properly. I hope I can see some players in Sudden Attack that can achieved the title of Shotgun Master, now that I would call an achievement. Well that's all for today, you guys can click on title itself to the link for shotgun guide in forums.
End transmission...
