Left 4 Dead: Auto Shotgun, Assault Rifle or Hunting Rifle

[Curtis Takaichi]

I pretty much live and die by the M4, and I like to play around with the Hunting Rifle too. I despise the Auto shotgun and only play it when teammates hound me about using the shotgun in a particular situation. Just wanted to see what everyone's preferred weapon of choice is.

[Colin]

Def. the M4, although if the tank is coming (survival mode) and the shotgun is close I'll pick it up and empty a round into the tank.

[Curtis Takaichi]

Yeah, I agree. In survival mode, there is just way too much being thrown at you and when that tank is inches away, the shotgun is ultimate.

I used to be a big auto shottie guy, but then I fell in love with the red misty headshots that the M4 can produce. However, I think that the shotgun is probably the best "panic" weapon available.

You need a mixture if you want to survive on Expert. Two with the M4 for medium-long distance kills, two with the auto-shotty when you need to get up close and personal.

The hunting rifle is the best weapon for taking out smokers and the other specials from a distance, but anyone with decent aim can do the same with the M4.

The "2 and 2" rule is especially true in most of the survival levels.

[Steve Kelso]

Auto Shotgun. I love it.

[Austin_SJ]

The shotgun reloads so pathetically, whereas with the M4 one combat attack and you're back to 50 bullets
