How are some of these people so good with shotguns even if ur running around the still get me and it's always right in the head. Sometimes in the stomach.


At school

Practice...

I dunno... don't want to be rude... but maybe these ppl can aim? there are many good players out there... i might also be guessing... but since you only got 2 posts... i'm assuming you new with this game :-)

Well i got one hand of advise for you... play alot and learn to play in a better way
Once you get the hang of this game... learn to shoot with shorter bulletranges at the time... ( so don't be shooting an entire clip at once without loosing grip of your mouse1 button ) Learn to deal with the recoil effect of your weapon... it will be less once you pop only 2 or 3 bullets, loose the mouse1 button, pop 2 or 3 more, and loost the mouse1 button again, and so on and on... Learn to aim higher... aim at the head... smaller to hit, but more damage will be done to the person... It seems to me that an automatic response of playing shooters when you are just beginning is the fact that these ppl (i did once too!) start aiming at the lower part of the body... around the waste... this is very easy to hit... but doesn't cause that much damage, so make a habbit of aiming higher then you intend to do by nature

That's a bit what you could do abt making sure you kill ppl too with guns :-) lol

it just ALOT of practice, like me, i got well over 600 hours on this game

hey shotguns ARENT that good, they are only good from mele range. just keep an ak in your hand and pratice at it. you will kill any shotguner, the only advatage a shotugn has is around sharp corner and at  mele, you cant aim your shotty with a stream of bullets coming at you. i join games all the time when a group of guys are running things with shotguns, so every one starts to use them. when i come on with my ak every one starts using ranged guns (ak, mp5, m4, sig). people start to use shotties becuase it seems easier at at first, it does big dmg  and its easier to jump and spin with becuase its not auto. but if you are good with an ak, you will easily kill them before they get close enough. as for mele range if they are camping you just gota be alert, usaly it takes two shots, after they get that first shot if you spin fast enough and keep a stream on them they wont get off that second.  we all get blasted by shotguns every now and then but they are well stopible, just keep your distance and shoot straight. ihave to go, no time to look over what i typed and correct grammer and stuff sorry.

and my mele he mean "melee" which means short distances

me·lee (ml, m-l) also mê·lée (m-l)
n.

1. Confused, hand-to-hand fighting in a pitched battle.
2. A violent free-for-all. See Synonyms at brawl.

I prefer the second when referring to SOF2 lol.

i'm good at long range shooting just not as good up close cuz people always have shotguns and they get me in the head with it. Yes i am i "newbie" but i play everyday for about 3 hours. So hopefully i'll get better.

At school

i try to use ak as much as possible, even up close.  if u get good shots in, it just makes more since to.  it fires way faster than shotty, and u know where the bullets are gonna go (shotty is random imo).  guys on my team like slut and sacrifice are gods with ak.  just run around a shotgunner and they usually don't hit u much, while u drill them with ak.  plus ak has knock back that can keep them from getting too close with that thing.

yea john just keep that ak in your hand, when you get better you will kill any shot gun, and i said melee range, i did not think people needed a dictoinary to know what that ment. in the context i am using it in it means close. like almot being able to touch them with your hand if you stuck it out. any thing to much further then that its not very smart to have a shotty out if your playing with any one with good aim.
