HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! I'm back with yet another Quake poll!!! Suck it down beyotches!!!!

<g>

Okay. Favorite weapon here. I'm going to guarantee that I'll forget a few of them, cuz I'm doing this strictly from memory. So sue me.

I also didnt' include a few weapons, simply because I can't for the life of me seeing someone that loves the Q2 machine gun or the Q1 regular nail gun, when you have the chaingun and supernailgun.

So check the poll (upper right hand icon, if you've never done a poll b4) and give a quick description. :)

A vote for Q2 blaster! Certainly my favorite weapon of choise in that game, since most of the time I took playing Q2 was in amazement of the beautiful colored lighting. Blaster doesn't do much, but with unlimited ammo, it's one helluva source of light :)

You can put me down for a &quot;turbo llama&quot;! :D

If I'm not using the BFG10K I love using the railgun.

Put me down for Q1 RL. Close second is the Q1 Grenade Launcher. I got pretty good at flinging pineapples.

I never have liked the different projectile physics (and probably more lifelike) for the GL in Q2 and Q3. . .

hey guys, gotta vote in the poll!

click on the little &quot;chart-like&quot; looking thing in the upper right hand corner.

BlueWeasel, you gotta vote for yourself. :)

so far, it's obvious the railgun is king. Of course, I'm guessing that people who vote for the q2 railgun prolly like q2 better, and people who vote for the q3 railgun (need help) probably like q3 better. :)

and jpprod, thx for voting for the blaster

it rules. <g>

DOH! . . . . Sorry, Robotech I thought you would be sitting here counting each vote by hand. . .

The GL was not even listed:(

Q2 Rail Gun was the best...

You know the weapon is awesome when your were playing in software mode on a K6233 and a 33.6 modem and still loved it...

Thank god that those parts are all gone except for that dang modem. I need a cable modem. They say it should be available at end of December. Yeah!

I voted for the Q1 shaft.
I loved that gun :)

But you do realize that pretty much all the Doom weapons will simply destroy all of these :)

I mean really, the plasma rifle in Doom, cool or what? Such a cool sound, cool gfx, and very effective :)
Or the SS in Doom2, it packed some serious punch.

But lets not forget the favourite, the allmighty chainsaw! Muhahaha! :D

Sunner; Couldn't agree with you more, Doom's weapons simply rape (pardon the GUTBish expression, but here it's justified :)) those of Quake! Standard shotgun has to be my all-time Doom weapon favorite, it's extremely satisfying to frag imps with it at point-blank range.

One can only hope that Doom III will live up to it's legacy.

I vote for the ShockRifle in UT.

(Hey, what can I say... Quake [especially Q3] sucks.)

the Shock Rifle definitely kicks ass.

I love doing the Shock Combo. That is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO damn cool!

as far as &quot;sucks&quot;, I'll disagree. It's really what you're used to.

UT and Q3 are very similar in many ways, and very different in others. Q3 is more of a 1v1 game, whereas due to the maps and weapons in UT, UT is better suited for teamplay

the bots for UT absolutely own Q3's bots.

What's funny is the guy that wrote ReaperBot (quake1) codes the bots for UT, and the guy that wrote Gladiator bot (Quake2) wrote Q3's bots.

I think gladiator bot was better than Q3's bots, but that's just me.

The UT weapons all feel so &quot;plastic&quot;.

And Jukka, I agree, the single barrel shotgun is very nice indeed :)
The imps have to be the most annoying creatures in the DOom games, nothing like blasting them asuder with a rocket :)

Taking out a pig(Demon) with the SS at point blank is pretty nice too :)

No... really.... Q3 sucks.

And not &quot;compared to UT&quot;. Really, I'm not kidding. It stands on it's own. Is suck.

Didn't you get the memo? ;)

I had to vote for the q2 rail also as nothing puts as much fear into your opponent. I use it everyday still and when you become good at using it, you can control the server so easily. :)

q2 will live on as the best multiplayer fps ever

Dean, I'm witchababy.

Q2 rail still holds the lead

Q3 and Q1 RL are catching up

the Q2 railgun OWNS on lithium servers, BTW. The RL is very tough to use on a hookin' h0m0, but a quick slug to the throat drops' em off their rope right quick.

heh.....nuttin' like gibb'ing someone who is dangling from the hook

like Slayer used to say

&quot;RAINING BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOD FROM A LACERATED SKYYYYYYYYY.........&quot;

hehehehe....<Renfield laugh>
