Here I am again with the same question. What's your favourite shotgun from any FPS? The one you still remember till this day since it was so awesome to shoot with?
For me that's the shotgun from Halo 2 without a doubt. I loved the shoot & melee to get death puppet technique.

Doom Shotgun:

Gears of War Sawed Off:

Goldeneye Shotgun:

Doom shotgun.

The Flack Cannon, easily.

My electric scoped shotgun from Borderlands. I suppose its stats aren't that great by endgame standards, but I ended up getting attached to it, so I kept it around.

The SSG from Doom 2, most definitely. The only thing that's even come close to matching the sheer stopping power of that beast was the sawed-off from Gears 3 (the range was utter shite though).

Gears of War Shotgun always felt really powerful. I am also partial to the flak cannon.

Basically anything that gibs whatever you're pointing at.

Fallout 3's Terrible shotgun

GuhNasher.

For use against real people in multiplayer, it's the M90 Close Assault Weapon System DTM Series Shotgun, from Halo CE.

It can hold 12 shells, and the player can carry up to 60 more shells for a total of 72 shells. It is more likely to kill a closer ranged enemy as the shotgun is weak on further distanced enemies, the shotgun could also kill nearly any infantry target at point blank range. It even has the capabilities to take on lightly armoured vehicles, such as the Ghost. Players could hold the trigger button down for continuous fire. It reloads more quickly than in Halo 2.

Length: 115 cm

Height: 30 cm

Fires Soellkraft 8 gauge shells at a rate of 1.5 shells per second, each shell contains 15 pellets.

Hello... the shotgun is your savior in the early hours of the first couple resident evils. otherwise ive had some pretty sweet ones in borderlands. 1/2.

Super Shotgun.

Scattergun from TF2.

I'm runnin' circles around ya!

Obviously:

and special mention goes to:

The F.E.A.R. shotgun for me.

Also in honor of Natural Selection 2 releasing, I will also throw out the NS shotgun as well.

USAS-12 from Soldier of Fortune 2

I don't know about best shotgun but Doom 3's shotgun has to be up there in the most useless stakes.

I always enjoyed defending the flag base with a shotgun in Halo 1 multiplayer.

Bulletstorm. 4 barrels.

Doom 2's SSG, no fucking doubt. That is the clear-cut winner.

I am partial to shotguns in nearly every FPS, but the SSg and the regular shotgun from Doom are just key.

I love the combat shotgun from left for dead 2.

I quite like the early shotgun from RAGE.

But hands down my favorite shotgun would be the one I modded to have 0 spread, infinite ammo and as fast as you can click semi-auto fire in Medal of Honor Allied Assault.

Doom shotgun. Also, Doom 2's double barrel shotgun.

The trench gun from Call of Duty 2.

The trench gun from Call of Duty 2.

Doom 3 shotgun

ALWAYS BE SHOTGUN IN ALL GAMES! But I really, really like the standard Gears of War shottie "Gnasher?". And my best friend in Quake 3 was always the Shotgun, that one has a special place in my heart.

I'm partial to the Flak Cannon myself. My favorite gun from UT, which is a little odd since I usually don't like shotguns.

Doom 1 & 2, including the SSG.

Auto-shotty in CS, nothing like rounding a corner and unloading :)

The two shotguns from Hotline Miami are perhaps the most terrifying in any game.

Doom

Doom II - Double Barrel

Half-Life 2

Painkiller

Rage

F.E.A.R (F.E.A.R. 2's shotgun is fucking shit)

Soldier of Fortune (could be the best)

Bulletstorm

Duke Nukem 3D

Urban Chaos: Riot Response.

That's all I can think of for now, there's loads of great ones.

I generally like the sawed off variety. RDR has a good one. TimeSplitters too I think.

Doom 2's super shotty has the most iconic shotgun sound, I think.

I really like the feel of the shotguns in Left 4 Dead, especially the Tier 2 versions.

The most fun I've had with a shotgun in recent memory was Spec Ops: The Line, of all games. Up until the midway point where enemies started spawning really far away, I rocked a shotgun the whole time. Icing fools on the other side of cover with blindfire is just so satisfying.

The shotgun from the game Black was insane. It was like a sniper rifle.

Easily the SSG. That and the Quake rocket launcher sound are forever ingrained in my head.

Yeah, I'd say for the fact that the shotgun makes you feel a whole lot more secure wandering around the mansion in REmake, I'd give it to that.

Yeah that is a good one. Not a FPS but still.

The one from Bodycount. That's actually the only thing that kept me playing the game. Literally one or two shots would blast a wooden wall apart... and the way the physics worked ingame made it even better. When you shot someone in close range, their body would fly back 10-20 feet every time, even if they were behind a wall. Wow, I need to go back and play Bodycount now. lol

Can't believe no one's mentioned this yet, but my favourite shotgun is definitely the one in Team Fortress 2.

I cut down so many chumps with this beautiful weapon.

I loved the Borderlands SMGs that shot like shotguns, with x4 damage.

Do those count?

The shotgun from Solider of Fortune. Blowing off limbs has never been so fun
