<div class="IPBDescription">but wimpy in the game</div> is it just me that gets that impression? i think all that is needed is for the shotgun model to be increased a little in size with the scale thing in the model editor and then it will look awesome in the game.

    i think the model doesnt need to be scaled, it just looks smaller because of the angle of view we have when we look at it first person.

    to make it look better, i think the shotty should be held a little higher by the shoulder, remington style.

    The "paintings" are called "concept art", or in the case of digital media "renderings" also apply.

    It has to be small because of the way the marines hold it (it'd look really goofy if it was as big as the hmg). If they held it right, and then it was made bigger, it'd be pretty sweet.

    so size depends on the way you hold it?

    That is the funniest unintentional thing ever said.

    Go into NS Customizations and download BrigadierWolf's Shotgun replacement, that thing looks gorgeous. You can find it in the Official Release thread towards the end pages.

    ...

    the shotgun does look incredibly weedy when it is on the ground.

    it's like a high tech poking stick

    Now THATS what I want XD

    I've always thought the shotty model was pretty nice, as well as most of the models.

    Its very weak looking, agreed. So someone start making a decent ORIGINAL model for it that looks like the picture.

    hold your fire key w/ the shotgun, it looks lie, the marine has gone krazey and is shooting the gun up in the air

    Reload from empty. The marine inserts 5 rounds but 8 rounds are in the gun! OooOOOooo...

    it's because they didn't revamp the models... That's why it was only a server side fix...

    They changed the coded-in reload time and time between shots to make it better... (Do you remember the 1.04 days where the shotgun's Rate of Fire was slow as crap?)

    I think the gun should just be a huge block that sits on your soldier and owns all...

    like... that giant grenade launcher from Red Faction....

    Who said that size doesn't matter...
    I think the shottie should be a little bigger though.
