Quote:I don't really like the idea of merging the two. The shotgun works fine as a starting weapon, and when used correctly can get a few kills. I find myself running around a lot with just shotgun/laser during CTF, it might not be optimal, but it works sometimes. I actually only get reminded that it's not that optimal when I run out of sg ammo, and am forced to look for other weapons.
IMO that's the main issue with current starting weapons. While able to score a few kills and having legitimate uses, you should be pretty quick to find more powerful weapons. If starting weapons are so strong that you can get by just fine not bothering to find another ones, there is a problem.
