ive got to agree the striker with range is way to overpowered but its alot of fun destroying cheapscopers and akimbo fmg users with it

The striker is not op.. The striker is about as good as all the other shotguns should be. The range isn't even that big, when you're on Dome near the containers shooting at people inside the garage thing (if you know what i'm talking about =D) you won't hit them... Rapid fire SMG's can easily outshoot the Striker even at close range, especially when using Focus so you don't get the view kick...

stop crying kid, if it is SOOO overpowered then why not using it yourself?

Ho that's right you've tried to using but suck at it cuz it isn't as easy and powerful as you thought therefore you cry when you get kill by it cuz you can't do good with it yourself...

and besides he was using the range proeficiency which does what the name implies, INCREASES the range...

STFU at least its not a type 95 one burst to the leg and ur dead or a sniper you just click fire and it kills your enemy.

sml....you have helped me a ton on here bro and I agree with  100% of your posts.....

Well 99.99999% now haa....dude if the striker wasnt the way it was nobody would use shoutguns I mean how many other shottys do you see cuz I rarely see them....Last time I checked on elite I had around 6 thousand kills with it and that was over a prestige ago.  If you havnt yet bro you should try it until you get it to lvl 28 and unlock damage cuz its a mother effer to be honest.  When I prestiged last time I remembered what I hate about prestiging...the thing is 2-3-4 shots to kill everytime and the 2's are actually rare.  It really sucks and then once you get to damage you are rewarded for the struggles of getting it.

I have had the occasional time where I whacked someone out of range and thought hmmm....I have also had plenty of times where I was beat by a quick scoper from 10ft so I feel those two cancel each other out and its mostly fair.

Also to use the shottys effectively you really have to change your game plan.  When I run into an area I always have to keep something between me and where the enemy might be which is way harder then just popping out with an AR or smg and letting em fly.  I have also had tons of times where I see a guy and know hes out of range and by the time I sneak around to him someone or that guy toasts me......just my opinion bro and Id hate to see my favorite class ruined cuz of a nerf to the only viable shotty......Plus man if snipers are that effective up close (in the right hands) shottys should be deadly within that range as they are no good any farther.....
