Angel of Shotgunerry?
« on: September 13, 2009, 09:52 »
We have a Angel of Berserk, Angel of Marksmanship, Angel of Chaingunnery would be too easy, however...

Angel of Shotgunnery
Pros: You start with a shotgun and 50 shells!
Cons: You can only use shotguns and melee weapons!

Hows that?

I would have to play angel of max carnage, because from what I hear this is a dream for shotgunners. But I think you shouldn't be allowed to use melee weapons. Instead, you can bash the enemies with your trusty shotgun [:

And as for starting with a shotgun, you can already have it on the first level. Don't know, just don't like the idea, maybe the others will speak up.

Sounds like angel of berserk and you can also use a shotgun.

It just doesn't seem as special as Marksmanship or Berserk.


Maybe if the sergeant on level 1 drops an advanced shotgun instead of regular?

Advanced shotgun... Heh!

Now seriously, I don't think Angel of Shotgunnery would be a good addition. The best challenges are those that dramatically change the gameplay (AoB) or balance a disadvantage with a fun advantage (AoMr). Playing with shotguns only in my opinion is too small a disadvantage to allow for a cool advantage to make this a fun challenge.

Rather not.
Really, nothing can compete with the one and only AoMr :D

This could work.  Start with an advanced shotgun or advanced combat shotgun and some extra shells.  No melee allowed- if you run out of shells you're screwed (it wouldn't be that bad, shotgun ammo can be very efficient)  It would be sort of generic, but no more so than the pistol challenge.

I agree on the 'No Melee' to make it a real challenge

Angel of Shotgunnerry?

Why not only allow shotguns? And I do mean, SHOTGUNS.

Gonna say that advanced Shotgun is useless now? :P

Or would it?

Angel of Dakka
Pros: You start out with a chaingun and 100 bullets.
Cons: You can't use weapons other than chainguns. Furthermore, *both* firing modes are chainfire - short bursts are for cowards!

If this challenge get's included - it should have a different name.

Angel of the Shotty
Angel of Buckshot
Angel of Scatterguns

If we have to use this one, spell it Shotgunnery (not Shotgunerry :P)

This idea never got enough love. It's challenging and reasonably interesting, and it'd finish the set of weapon-related challenges. Unless we also want angel of rocketry.

Angel of rocketry? I'll pass, I don't like dealing with splash damage in close quarters like level 1.

BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOOM!

What close quarters? I see only an open bloodstained field with a staircase in the middle.
