Technically the combat shotgun as a passenger has been around for 2 years after the 0.3 update which i would say changed things a bit.
Yeah that's right but still the point is same; we used to play 2 years with combat shotgun as a passenger.
I think it was lagcomp that really made it into a problem, along with sniper rifles.
Exactly. Lagcomp has made all weapons overpowered (or just stonger compared to lagshoot, however you call it) because you certainly know where to aim at. Of course combat shotgun drive-by is the one affected the most as you can shoot powerful bullets so quickly with a high accuracy.
At first I thought this is just a parody topic to certain people's suggestions especially about the jetpacks but turned to be a serious one and i find it ridiculous.
