I really think this is the only shooting game that consists of only 6v6 head to head shotgun warefare. Its dumb. Usually a game with guns you use primaries first hense the name.. I just really think Bungie is sucking the big one for making shotguns so OP. Crucible needs the biggest look at in terms of an update after the release of the next [i]expansion is complete.
Edit: Just a thought, what if shotguns had their own ammo crates only in crucible? They could be Red ammo crates that spawn at 85% of the speed Special ammo crates spawn, and killing players would drop a small amount of shotgun ammo (red) instead of special ammo if you have a shotgun equipped. Further more that would decrease that insanely accessability to shotgun ammo, which is literally impossible to run out of if your good.[/i]

The only "problem" is that most of the maps are small and conducive to shotgun use. I use a shotgun and usually Vex. When I see people charging me, I back pedal and use Vex and destroy them. A shotgun should kill someone in one shot at close range. Don't let them get to close range. Where Bungie could help would be to make more maps that benefit the use of longer range weapons. Truthfully, it's a no win situation because people are going to cry no matter what. If there were more big maps, people would cry about Snipers and Scout rifles needing to be nerfed.
