Shotty Rush Now Possible?

Some of you might say it was always possible, but with the boost shotguns have got in 2.0 shotgun rushing is a much more viable tactic. I tried this on eclipse last night and after failing once we tried again and absolutley murdered them, even after guessing the hive wrong two times.

Just build an armory and toss out those shotties and watch the hives fall <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It only takes about 90 seconds...

    Over the next few days, I expect an exponential increase in the number of shotty threads, as more and more people see it happen.

    The problem with this tactic is that you are reliant on marines who can aim. A shotgun in the wrong hands is much worse than the default LMG.

    A marine who can't aim with an lmg is dead. A marine who can't aim with a shotty can get lucky.

    Expand:

    A squad of marines who can't aim with an lmg is dead. I placed 5 in holoroom, in crossfire positions, and they died to TWO skulks, who were using REGEN.

    A squad of marines who can't aim with shotties can do better! They're just expensive.
