Yeah I know this has probably been made before but wtf is with the shotgun range in this game? I keep getting killed out of nowhere and when I see the person who killed me they are standing atleast 50 feet away from wherever I was. How does this occur?

The 12. Slugs/Shotgun/Whatever it's called specialization dramatically increases the range of shotguns.

Its too bad that they still seem pretty damn powerful. Like its not that bad every once in a while but the other day it was like 6 people on the same team with shotguns doing that shit.

Can you still shotgun snipe like when the game first came out?

I don't remember the first game having that issue but this is probably the same thing. Though I only noticed it a few months in.

To be fair the range on them isnt that crazy. Modern shotguns with the use of sabot slugs can easily be effective at ranges up to 100m. Anyway I love shotgun sniping in bc2, especially beating normal snipers in sniper battles with a shotgun now that is funny!
 
If you cant beat them join them, trust me its fun.

Yeah, the shotgun range is ridiculous. I remember toying around with that before they somewhat patched it. It infuriates people.

Also, keep in mind that the really powerful shotguns have very small magazines and a long reload to cock it. If they miss that first time and you see them they're usually done.
