Crysis Warhead - Behold the Power of the Shotgun

This is a follow-up to my Bungle in the Jungle - Part 2 video (Shore Leave 2/8) where I took on the shotgun just for entertainment purposes only seeing as the shotgun is my least favorite weapon in video games (with the exception of the Resident Evil series).

The shotgun in the Crysis series is a formidable weapon however if you don't care about being totally stealthy as it has no silencer so using it will give away your position to the enemy. There are two fire modes: wide spread and tight spread. The wide spread blasts a wide area and is much more effective at close range. The tight spread mode is amazingly effective at mid range (one shot kills to the body) but requires more accuracy.

Thanks for watching and if you enjoyed this video, don't forget to give it a thumbs up and add it to your favorites too. Both these help promote my videos.

Howdy and thumbs up. :)

Well Slack you'll be pleased to know... actually I shouldn't spoil the experience for you. I'll say this much: Crysis 2 allows you to be just as strategic and full of finesse w/o *needing* maximum stealthing or even worse... stealth whoring. I really think it's something that the game isn't given enough credit for if more people than myself even consider it at all! Back to the video, I don't know what was sweeter: the power of the ripper or this! In any case, it's a sweet send off to my break!

Re: Crysis 2 - Hmmm... Okay, now I'm intrigued. :)

This is proof that Slack can master any weapon in two video's time. :) Awesome demo! 

[SecondHandGarbage]

@24videowatcher Okay ENOUGH WITH THIS SHIT. Someone explain?

[jep1st]

A real shotgun is effective about 30 meters which is about 33 yards or 100 ft. But it depends also the type of shotgun and the ammo you use but that is the effective range of basic shotgun with basic ammo.

Oh Slackdaddy if you are warming up to the shotgun then you might like it in Crysis 2. Reason, you can put a silencer on it. :D

@Senyako Yeah, when I posted that comment I was thinking specifically about the halo shotgun.

- Kills any enemy outright at point blank range.

- Kills the weakest enemies at about 15 feet.

- Is about as damaging as a refreshing spring breeze after 20 feet.

[Senyako]

@lankygit101 Game shotguns have been like that since Doom. It was a bit jarring but refreshing when I noticed the Crysis shotgun actually behaved more realistically. I mean, I don't mind the Halo-like ones, where the pellets turn into tissue paper after 3-4 metres, but this was much more satisfying. It's a hunting weapon, after all, and who the hell hunts at arm's length from his target?

[lankygit101]

I wish more video game shotguns had a range like that. Realistically, a shotgun blast would still be doing serious damage up to about 100 feet, but most video game shotguns stop doing damage all together well before that.

I'd say the shotgun in Crysis Warhead is a great weapon..considering from mid range at 4:02 you cut down a tree.....!!! I may not have been a big one but it went through the guy and cut down a tree. Who needs chainsaws and gasoline to cut down trees when you got Majorslack and a shotgun.

I was about to leavy an angry comment about last video, because you underastimated the shotgun but slack fixed the problem. Thumbs up!

[lieaton04]

Slack, why didn't you sing the shotgun song :(

[Dcaipto40]

I've always wanted to know what ms slacks name is....
