to be fair, shotguns were rarely used because you would be outshot every time by assault rifles.
They needed a buff tbh to make them actually a viable alternative to the M4 / Ak47

+1, shoties have become completely useless in cs:s, they should at least dominate in close quarters through fire power.
They are still not good at range. So really they are not viable on anything except close maps like office. They are noob cannons anyway lol.
On a different note : The Dessert eagle is f'ing amazing in CS:GO
Personally I really like CS:GO.... Most of the map changes are big improvements, especially dust... This has made me want to join a clan again and play matches.

They're not supposed to be useful at range and all maps have close quarters, think of it this way, rifles do usual tactic, snipers pick a limited long rage camping spot, shoties guard close quarters. Could be really cool tactical team gameplay.
Downloading Sleeping Dogs at the moment though!Ideally it should be a case of rock paper scissors
Assault rifles beat Shotguns at Medium Range, which are in turn beaten at longer range by the sniper rifles.
However the Shotgun can best them both in close quarter maps like office.

Assuming you hit the person, this is true already.
But it's all down to player skill/speed.

thanks
I thought the small changes to dust were good, on the underpass bit.
Having not played much, the haze is making it difficult for me to identify if a far off player is a T or CT. It inevitably leaves me either shooting my own team, or being shot by an enemy I thought was on my side
The player models need to be more easily identifiable as to which team they are on.
I've set my gamma to the brightest (1.6) and sometimes increase it via my graphics card settings. I think this helps. Would rather Valve just opened up more cvars for further visual tweaking though.
Yeh, only played it a couple of times but it's far more enjoyable now

The new stone blocks by the double doors make a bit less CT biased which is good because Aztec is terrible for being a CT AWP fest. Also the new bits on the tunnel on Dust have made a huge difference... Dust is one of my favourite maps now with the new bits. I think I prefer Train as well... Although it seems a bit weird that they took the tunnels out of nuke.
It looked like everyone got the same skin, and it only differed between maps. I would assume it becomes a choice when out of beta.
Its a shame its already become almost impossible to play anything other than Dust/Dust2 though. Even if you do join a server on another map it soon gets changed to Dust
