A lot of Call of Duty 4 players feel that Shotguns are terrible weapons because of their lack of range; but if you have ever seen a skilled Shotgun class player you know this not to be the case. Shotguns can be amazing weapons, but the way you move and kill enemies with them is different than any other gun most people lack the skill to use them to their full potential. So here is a quick guide on how to use the shotguns in Call of Duty not just in close range situations, but to dominate any map and in any scenario. Also be sure to take a look at our COD4 shotgun review to determine which of the shotguns is the best.
The key to pwning with the Shotgun in video games in general is not your aiming ability, the spread of the pellets is so large it’s almost impossible to miss, the key is to position yourself so your target is always within firing range. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that you can’t get a kill with the M1014 if the guy your shooting at is half way across the map. Yet still see Call of Duty players trying to run into huge wide open places with their Shotgun only to be destroyed at range with a LMG. Read more
Hardcore Search and Destroy is probably the game type to play if you want to play Call of Duty 4 competitively. Search and Destroy matches require a totally different skill set than any other Call of Duty 4 game type because it is objective based as opposed to kill based. Here are some tips for you if you want to make the switch from TDM to the more tactical HC SD game type in Call of Duty 4.
Find a good place to play – Search and Destroy can be a great game, or a terrible one all depending on the rules of the server you are playing on. With no rules 3/4 of the players are dead in the first 10 seconds from nade spam, and with too many rules everyone is stuck playing boring weapons. I look for servers that ban Noobtubes, Grenades and Airstrikes in the first 20 seconds of the game to prevent explosive spam and ban Martyrdom entirely because it just doesn’t work with friendly fire on. I think that anything beyond that is overbearing and takes away a good aspect of the game. You may have different preferences though and given the number of servers out there I am sure you can find one to suit you.
