I'm not really sure what your issue is with the reload trick, vhatever, aside from your usual issue with just about everything. I didn't even know about the trick until after I'd stopped playing for tonight and was looking up vids on Vanguard play. I haven't tried it myself, and it does seem a little strange, but if Christina Norman is willing to tell us about it as a "tip" then I believe it's working as intended. A "bug" implies that something is unintentional.

She was talking about abbreviaitng the god damn reload animation, not shooting in the middle of a melee attack. They are two entirely different god damn things, I explained this in great detail already. I don't have problems with this bug, I do have problems with people who suggest abusing it as some proxy for weapon/class balance, etc. You are basically saying "just cheat".

I didnt need tips on playing a soldier, just trying to find a reason to use a shotgun for him is all.

I see your point as being that if it is a bug then it could be corrected by a patch in the future and then those using it would be screwed...

Only reason you should go with a shotgun as a soldier is for saving ammo. Consdiering soldiers "all about how many bulllets they have left", it's a good enough reason. If you take and use the revenant, though, it's complete dead weight after thst point.



It's not about the bug heing fixed at some point. That has nothing to do with it. You can just go edit you files and make your shotguns do insant kills whenever they damage and enemy at all. Does that mean "shutguns ar ethe most overpowered weapons in the gmae" and bioware should patch it to "fix them". No, because you are just cheating. same logic applies to a weak weapon.

There isn't much on the higher difficulties.  When fighting husks I did pull the shotgun out for a little extra stopping power but no-scoping with a widow was so much more effective at point blank range.  Everywhere else, the aim of the game is to sit behind cover and fight at long range so naturally I avoided all of the short ranged weapons because the combat dynamics had in large part changed.  

It's the same as with any other shooter, really.  Section 8, Halo, Rainbow Six Vegas, COD 2, Fracture, in all of them short ranged combat becomes so much less effective as the enemy becomes more and more effective at killing you.  All you can really do is then change your game, or simply change the difficulty.
