Two years later: People still watching these. Nice guides dude! Edit: Okay people, we get it. It's been longer than two years. You can ignore this comment now.
I've been a fan of COD since the original black ops. I'm a old guy (57) but I manage to do well by playing to my strengths. Your videos have been most insightful and have helped me choose the weapons that best suit my style of play. I knew these videos are alot of work, I just wanted ya to know, alot of guys appreciate it.
bruh bo2 it's all about snipers you see them everywhere so the only way to defend myself is really with a shotgun that's the only reason why I started using it
True, snipers are buffed compared to bo1, but then again nearly everything is buffed and the more powerful ones are bolt action with much more punishing missed shots. If you’re having trouble with one, try juking and flanking -signed, a ballista sniper
This gun is far from OP. Although it is deadly in close range, like a shotgun SHOULD be, but outside that range, you are basically screwed. Even at close range, the inconsistency in the hip fire and massive penalty for missed shots balances it even further.
That’s why I only ever used the KSG on BO2, I barely ever got a hitmarker with it, although it took a lot more coordinated skill, and was less accurate, it was still worth it over BS hitmarkers
I remember the first time I picked this up in my earlier days of BO2. I was incredibly surprised at how good this was. I was even more surprised at how often I'd get one-shotted by it in return. This shotgun saw me through countless Chaos Moshpit games.
Primary: R870 MCS w/ Quickdraw, Fast Mag Secondary: Any Pistol w/ Fast Mag Perks: Ghost, Cold-Blooded, Dead Silence, Awareness (Wildcard Used) More of a stealth edge for this shotgun to my liking....
This is my favourite of your weopon guides. Although I use a slightly different class, putting the ghost perk on was genius. They never know where I am untill their dead. The tactics you said really helped me out too, and my class is extremely similar and everything you used is very useful. I love the R870 and this guide
The 870 is a great shotgun, sort of a middle of the road. In terms of attachments I would do the Fast Mag and Long Barrel combo to improve range the speed of reload.
How could any OG forget them right? Pre-nerf it was the best shotgun in cod history, (akimbo), but after it got nerfed, then the SPAS-12 was where it was at! Good times tho ay! 😌
I feel like this gun should be nerfed, but at the same time I don't want it to be. Oh god, still having nightmare about those players who sweep the map with dexterity and this gun on pubs
This is such a douchebag comment. It was put in the game for a reason. If you find a good combo between perks and attachments it shouldn't matter what you use.
JPdubs PDubs I think you should look at your comment again. It sounds like you're saying finding and using an OP setup makes no difference compared to using a normal setup (which totally makes no sense because it determines how many streaks that player gets).
Wish there was another COD like MW2, Black Ops, and Black Ops 2. That was the golden era for me. Granted, World at War was my favorite campaign, those three games had the best multiplayer in my opinion. Some of my favorite memories of partying up with my buds and spending hours each night playing search and destroy together.
Damn, this is my favorite shotgun in COD, and the very first gun I ever got good camo for. My R870 Class: R870 Millimeter Scanner Laser Sight Long Barrel
2:34 For a shotgun to use a true "clip" (like a stripper clip), it would most likely have a fixed internal box mag and would load down the top. Speedloaders for pump guns exist. They usually hold four rounds. Experts can load in the blink of an eye using a speedloader. The trouble with those things is they're cumbersome to carry. Also, there's no way to fit 11 shells into a mag tube that fits flush with an 18.5" or 20" barrel. You could have a twin-tube pump gun with one barrel (like the Kel-Tec KSG, only it wouldn't have to be a bullpup) and have both tubes hold five shells each, then you'd get a total capacity of 11 rounds (5+5+1). Otherwise, the mag tube AND barrel, assuming they're flush-fit with each other, would be way too long for it to be used as a legit combat shotgun. Would make a great skeet gun, though. *Edit/Note:* I'll never understand the appeal of "wrong-handed" reloads, nor the reason for repositioning the support hand to grasp the gun center-mass around the barrel and mag tube, only to have to re-reposition the support hand after loading. It just adds unnecessary steps to what should be a simple procedure. Paul Harrell illustrates all the best techniques for this sort of thing (and more).
Actually the ACR from MW2 is the first weapon by Remington to be in CoD. Its not a Remington invention, but a Magpul invention that is licensed by Bushmaster for manufacture and sale. Bushmaster manufactures the semi-auto versions, while Remington Arms handles the select fire versions.
1 month ago I posted how I use this kind of class. I changed it again to fit into 10 points. pretty much the same idea but more balance to limited points. the Remington 870 with the long barrel and the quickdraw. secondary is the Five Seven with dual wield. lightweight, fast hands and extreme conditioning. 1 frag and a smoke grenade, and no wildcards. a Tomb Raider class build, focusing on mobility and power. 32 shells, plus over 160 pistol rounds can take me through long score streaks if I can survive that long. I find the laser sight has very limited benefit on the shotguns, I find that range and reactivity is a better bonus. I still hipfire when I absolutely need to but I always find that aiming down the sights grants much more versatile performance.
Great Video, only difference is I use engineer instead of dead silence because so many people use shock charges and bouncing bettys. the Shotgun is absolute beast though!
as alternative to perk three I'd suggest a engi perk to identify enemy mines guarding their flanks as you move around them and an emp gernade to take them out
I remember a BF3 commentator joking about Italian manufactured shotgun (the Benelli M1014) fighting against US manufactured shotgun (the Remington 870). I guess both are good, yet the 870 was retained for post-mw2 CoDs.
Im sure he meant is was the first Remington shotgun in a COD game. Don't forget other that the R700 from COD4, there was also the RSASS and Remington ACR from MW3 :)
Engineer allows you to spot those campers from a ways away, and by the time they hear you you're in 1-hit kill range with the R870/KSG and 2-hit for the S12 and M1216 so when they turn around after hearing something its directly into the face of a barrel and some buckshot.
Ahhh my go-to weapon in BO2. My baby. Long Barrel/Quickdraw Perks: Flak Jacket/Ghost Extreme Conditioning/Dexterity I used Tac Insert instead of any pistols. I usually pick an enemy weapon during a match anyways. I dont use any pistols unless its fallen on the floor of the map.
Other weapons may take more actual shots to kill, but they are infinitely easier to use thanks to their generous magazine sizes and automatic (usually) fire modes. The pellet shotguns are only effective within 15-or-so meters, and of that their OHK range is only about 10 meters. If your first shot fails to kill you are certainly going to lose the gunfight. AR's and, to a lesser extent, SMG's can be effective at every range if used properly. They're easier to use, and are more consistent.
R870 is op. During nuketown 24/7 my friend told me it wasn't and I said well let me use it this one game of demolition and I'll show you. I got a mega kill as well as an ultra kill in one game and haven't gotten any others in 5 days played.
For the MCS, I normally play Quickdraw and laser sight. Sometimes I replace one with reflex sight. I play lightweight for speed, fast hands just because chucking a grenade or Betty out can get you killed, and dexterity to aim faster. I use the five seven since it has the largest secondary range, the Bertie's or Semtex and stuns or shock charges.
Pump some action into your performance . Classic Ahoy.
Ayyy nice word puns m8
YYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Sex joke?
@@CoreRealm Rem 870 is a pump-action shotgun.
@@CoreRealm Yup, double meaning
I said 'THE Remington's debut in Call of Duty'. In this instance, 'the Remington' refers exclusively to the 870.
I have one
This gun was half the reason I bought this game. Such a satisfying weapon. Makes a great overkill secondary too.
Pump shotguns are supposed to be one hit kills. The problem isn't the weapon, but the maps. Small maps favor shotguns.
Ah ha.
This is especially true in Battlefield. Use the 870 MCS in Locker, you may go 26-2. Use it in Golmud Railway, you'll find the opposite.
James Blackburn 43-15 locker...12-25 golmud
No, it's the weapon. For some reason, shotguns in these games can't hit anything if it's more than 2 ft away

This is my go-to weapon in BO2. I have almost 6,000 kills with this American shotgun.
Mines too!
The reason I've subscribed to this channel? The voice. It's like i'm listening from a discovery channel. Sounds so professional. XD
No one asked
We all knew
I'm not ashamed to say I have 10,000+ kills with this shotty
Same. This shotgun served me very well. But, it did get a lot of death threats and hatred...
Chill, they mad cause they bad.
I get hackusations on PC and Xbox.
+Aerostar181 It's quite sad to hear that if people don't like something in CoD. You're always going to have people who'll act salty about it.
Believe me, I know. What about you? Got a favorite weapon of your own?
Scar-H or AN-94. How about you?
The only shotgun I use in Black Ops 2. She takes care of me...she is lifesaver.
Good lord I love these videos. I wish every UA-camr tried to aspire to this level of quality. Well done, sir. Well done.
I miss this game so much now.
I remember my uncle after getting bo2 said that this was the same gun as the stakeout, but it never felt the same, I miss the stakeout
My Best Shotgun Class:
Remington 870 MCS w/ Millimeter Scanner+Laser+Long Barrel

I would put Scavenger and remove Five Seven.
But then you loose your emergency weapon that’s also capable of long range kills.

I havent played this game for years, but damn, this brings me back
Instead of dead silence you should choose extreme conditioning
Geeky Nerd54 Agreed, Dead Silence is pretty bad in BO2
anyone else notice that sometimes when the shotgun pumps the shell ejects before you do so
shadowop114 that is actually the empty shell that you shot before
i mean before he pumps the next shot, the shell ejects when the receiver is closed
shadowop114 oh... yeah that is pretty weird.
i love the shotgun kills. I enjoy watching the enemy fly backwards from the force of the gun hehehe

Who needs the Remington 870 in Call of Duty when I own one in real life? Yep.

i got a mossberg with long barrel and fast mag kinda.
Where can you purchase the 870? I've been to several gun shops and I can't seem to find one :/
wal mart? or try local facebook gun groups. saw one yesterday for $275 with the wood stuff.
Hey, One Shot Surprise was my girlfriends nickname for me!
Man, this was a blast from the past. I loved running around like a crackhead with this thing. Good times, I miss BO2
About a week ago i was a noob,but thanks to xboxahoy's classes i at least go positive in games and.i love this class
This man is a master of all guns, puns, and has a godly voice.
Perfect for the business end of choke points on any map. 👌🏾🔚
I'd rather run fast mag, instead of laser sight. At least with Fast Mag, I can reload all the shots in about half the time.
do what u want
Dr. Loveshank suits you if you're good at hip-firing without the help of a laser

I got it on ps3 as well Nate. the R870 sights have a green tint. its problebly just your game settings or brightness
