Favourite FPS Weapon

Qwertyman said:
The last weapon in Turok and the Cerebral Bore in Turok 2 come to mind.

Hell yeah. The cerebral Bore was insane. There was another in the 3rd game that was similar but a little different. Cant remember the name. That ruled too.

But my all time favourite would be the proximity mines in Goldeneye. I absolutely loved setting huge traps with them, about 10 of em around a room, and watching peope run around trying to escape the blast only to run into another everywhere they turned. Was good fun tacking them under steps or behind doors too. SOOOOOOO much fun.practically the only weapon i used in MP.
 
I also like the pulse rifle from Alien Vs Predator. Also the independantly targeting particle beam phalanx, fry half a city with this puppy. We got Tacticle smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, rpg's, we got sonic E-lectronic ballbreakers. We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks. KNOCK IT OFF HUDSON.
 
Does your wang from Postal 2 count as a weapon? I mean, you didn't really hit people with it, it was more of a projectile thing, and it didn't do any damage, but it was still fun...

: :eek: :p sure, y not
 
Bolt Driver in Planetside.

After that, the MP5 in CS pre-beta4.

And then the Q2 Railgun.
 
The tactical nuke that you could guide in unreal tournament, sucked to get sniped while guiding it though :)
 
Magnum headshots in HL2DM.

Auto-shotgun, AK-47, and Deagle in CS:S.

Redeemer in UT2k4.

Yummy :) :eek:
 
.357 in HL2: The Cinematic Mod
I don't know if I could extend this to 3rd person, but the blast cannon in Rachet and Clan and the Shark Gun in Armed&Dangersous were awesome.
 
zomg zin'rawr "destroyer of worlds" ftw

or the arcanite reaper.......................... wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
The cannon in serious sam... nothing like mowing down hundreds of guys at a time with a giant cannon ball :D
 
I was gonna say some sort of rail gun...

but i've recently been playing "Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath" and now I have to say that my favorite is the CHIPPUNK...
1st, it's ammo that you have to hunt down yourself in order to use it
2nd, the CHIPPUNK insults you while it's waiting on your crossbow to be fired :D
3rd, it's purpose is to be annoying, and it draws enemies from all around, and they try to stomp it while cussing at it, and you blow them away with something else, like a BOOMBAT

haha... i love imaginative weaponry
 
My absolute favorite gun in any game so far is the crossbow from half life 1/2, followed by the rail gun from f.e.a.r.

I LOVE pinning enemies to walls. :)

in that case, you'd LOVE the stake gun from painkiller :p
 
It's gotta be the Flak Cannon in UT2003/4

Of course, the shotgun in Red Faction was equally as satisfying, if anyone remembers that game,
 
The skull spell from Undying.

The only weapon i know where the ammo actually *talks* to each other :D
 
Great thread...

I'd have to say the awp from CS. Not that I even like using it, its just so well known and has such a stigma about it.

Personal favorite = m3.
 
PAINKEEP for q2, and it had a black hole in a box.. you drop that in the center of a room and watch everyone get sucked into it!

Also loved the can of beans from the same mod... 200h and every now and then you hopped from farts haha!
and the bear trap i could go on and on! nothing cooler then seeing some guy walking around with a giant bear trap on his leg

Also BFG from doom.. nothing more satisfying than jumping while running alongside a wall to have a silently launched BFG.. then having the person step out right into it!
 
I would have to say the original rocket launcher in Quake 1. Brings back so many memories. I played that game for years. After that I would say the flak cannon in ut2k4, then the Alien head chop bite from the first AVP on the PC.
 
The greatest weapon ever is the STICKY GRENADE IN HALO 2.

You're sitting up in Lockout, on one of the sniper towers, and suddenly you have a face full of BLUE DOOM. You go jumping around, cussing, trying to get it off. Nothing like unavoidable death that you KNOW IS COMING.

It doesn't get any better than that. :D And yeah, the sword rocks as well!

I also have fun with the plasma piston. No shields + melee = +1 for me.

In other games:
Shotgun or flak cannon, up close death.
Cerebral Bore - awesome weapon in Turok 2.
Exploding Tek Arrow - Turok 2
Shrink Ray - Duke 3D
Dual Big Boots - Duke 3D (how the fuck did he do that anyway?!)
Proximity Mines - Goldeneye64
 
Pretty much everything from the ratchet and clank games was awesome... I wish I still had a PS2 for those games alone.
 
I'm going to have to go with the "conc grenade" in TFC. I think that was the most challenge/fun I have ever had in a game, blasting myself across the map and onto high things and whatnot. There's nothing like taking the flag, infecting the enemy base and blowing yourself up to safety while the screen spins around like you're drunk :D :cool:
 
The Pistol in Halo 1. You can Zoom with it and it kill elites with only 3 quick shots if done right.

One not from Halo would have to be the Gravity Gun from Half-Life.
 
Aw man! The Farsight was such a pain in the ass. Especially when you could see that someone else already had their sights near where you just respawned.

Probably not my favorite gun, but I remember loading an Assault Rifle in Deus Ex to the max with all the weapon upgrades. It ended up being my fully automatic rooftop sniper rifle.

i second that haha... wow i had forgotten all about Turok til i read this.
 
my top 5 r as follows:
1. 357 magnum from HL2
2. deagle from any game that has it
3. human pistol from halo 1
4. unscoped gewehr from cod2
5. dual smgs from halo 2

with the 357 ammo code in hl2, i could play for hours and not change my weapon once
 
I'd have to say that I enjoy practically all the sniper rifles from every fps I've played. There's just something intrinsically fun about playing God (from the movie Navy Seals).

The soul cube from Doom3 was interesting too.

For online play I'd have to go with the M41A from cs if I were to choose a gun without a scope.
 
Offline, the Organic Gravity Gun in HL2. Online, an AK47 and a Deagle in CSS.
