Thanks goes to you as well, Unicorn Giggles!!!
Also, I noticed that the server went from 1600th (around there) to around 1300th (around there) in the one day of shotgun gaming.
As Uni-Gig stated, give us your thoughts on how this went (i.e. likes/dislikes) and what you think we could do different??? We want to try and maybe make this a regular event, but need any and all input to make sure that this is a FUN experience for all!!!

I think that the shotgun event was a big success, I know that I had a blast...pardon the pun...lol. I talked to a few of the people that joined in about it and the feedback was positive for the most part. I think that the only real negative comment that I heard was that the people running slugs were hitting a lot further away than people with buckshot. That could just be an incentive to level up, though.
Eagerly looking forward to the next Shotgun event, or a Pistol one...

I had a lot of fun with the shotgun event. I would agree with DraegonEye about the slugs. Personally I like the close quarters feel of playing with a shotgun, so I would say ditch the slugs and possibly frag rounds too. With those types of ammo, I feel like the games turn into shotgun "sniping" across maps very easily. Semi autos with slugs and frags feels a lot like playing against people using DMRs and airbursts. Overall though, I think the event was a success and I would play in a shotgun only event anytime.
Also, I would consider giving the maps a higher ticket/kills limit if possible. Rounds seem to go by very quickly if the server has a lot of players in it, and I feel like I spend more time loading maps than I do playing. But maybe that's just a personal gripe of mine.
Seeing as how we got quite the crowd in server 1 with the shotgun only event, what about making the server shotgun only permanently? Or alternate shotgun/pistol only somehow? (Pistols only sounds fun too, I saw you mention it in the other post UnicornGiggles) It's a shame to see server 1 empty most of the time. (I also miss crouching. What about a shotgun crouch event? LOL)
Thank you UnicornGiggles and Tazman for organizing this event.
