It worked for GoW and Halo.

I believe that at this point, if a game didn't have a "vidya shotgun" then everyone would call it unrealistic.

Damn right they should <.<

Stupid game balancing makes them shoot nerf darts though :l

Since when were shotguns in Halo OP?! :$

CE's was the most powerful and yet it was balanced out by the other equally effective weapons in the sandbox.

Halo 2's couldn't do sh1t next to the energy sword.

Halo 3's couldn't do sh1t next to a can of paint.

Reach's was cool, but not really overpowered aside from Infection but I think the balancing issues came more from the map design than the weapon itself.

And 4's was the same-ish only POD usually gave you better options for the usually gargantuan maps the game shipped with.

Now Gears of War on the other hand...[/url]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the shotguns in Battlefield. You can use them as a sniper rifle.

*Used to be able to :l

The glassholes at DICE decided that there should be No Fun Allowed™ and took scopes off everything other than sniper rifles ;_;

I miss my 870 Sniperslug buddy :l
So many humiliation kills with that gun, soooo many.

Look what I found a couple of pages away from that article:

Don't try to say Homo Sapiens on Bungie.net. Why? Because they will be -blam!- Sapiens. Yes, the filter replaces swears with -blam!-, as it was Halo's second codename. The first one was Monkey Nuts, and was changed when Bungie founder Jason Jones (no relation to the one on The Daily Show) wanted to tell his mother about the game.
They have a similar problem with naming a custom map in Halo 3. Among others, you can't use the word assault... even though there's a game type called "Assault"!

That always pissed me off, it's like in Age of Empires 3.
You can't call something a Fortification because fica is an italian swearword. Fucking censorship o.e

Oh my god the USAS-12 with Frag Rounds. You could almost turn off the Sun with that thing:

Now it's just an air cannon (which would explain why the camera always goes blurry near those things).
