Shotguns for Cloakers, I say no, you?

[Naeadil]

I say leave it for beta. If it's broken, remove it. Sounds like it could be lots of fun though. Doesn't Crysis 2 have something like this?

Cloakers can instagib people from point blank with the Eraser and it's NC/TR equivalents right now. (Granted, it all but guarantees death if any other enemies are nearby) How could a shotgun be worse than that?

No charge up time, no gigantic spread and no crippling hit to stamina. If it only takes 2 shots at point blank to take most classes out it could be pretty overpowered, but I guess we'll see in the beta.

NC cloakers in PS1 technically had a shotgun.
The different classes in PS2 may not have access to the same weapons, so the cloaker shotgun could easily do a lot less damage than a Jackhammer or Sweeper.

Obviously if they can one shot it would be stupidly over-powered, however if they find the sweet spot of damage than we may see some old ps1 style cloaker combat.

I think this is a right side better than cloaker snipers so I am totally on board.

I hate cloakers with a passion. Being a NC who likes to use the Phoenix, they were the bane of my existince on the ground. However, something like this can easily be balanced. I like the idea. We shouldn't automatically dismiss every single minor deviation from PS1.
