So far this is your typical Gears of War 2 multiplayer match: everyone rushes to the power weapons (most notably the boomshot), and spams smoke grenades in every direction. Once the majority of both teams has fallen to the ground, there’s usually a couple people standing to run through with their shotgun and kill everyone while they’re getting up. Of course from here there’s usually one team that has 4 players and the other team has about 2. At this point, everyone without a power weapon in their hands is using that stupid 2 piece tactic. Generally, the game turns out to be a cat and mouse chase when only 1 player is left. At this point, if their are frag grenades on the map, this player will just sit where they spawn and plant them on every floor and wall imaginable, which is definitely making the match longer than it needs to be, seeing as he will usually die anyway. One question: is there a way Epic can make Gears of War 2 a tactical game like they intended it to be?

While I play Gears of War, alot of people charge my sniping butt full force and with a shotgun loaded with perfect shots and I turn around and pull out my shotty and try the best to defend myself but its always a futile try. And for some reason, I always lose in a shotgun fight. I was told it was best to get your center aim in while shouldered then quickly press L and for that brief moment aim at the person and shoot then go back to hip and keep on strafting left and right, but I always fail.

So I was wondering whats the best way to Shotgun in Gears of War?
