I think this is a pretty self-explanitory poll. I was just playing a few old FPS games I haven't played in ages, which got me thinking about this. Vote and discuss.

i agree

I still don't understand how people manage to be so damn good with that thing, but my hat goes off to them. :D

I was always a rocket or grenade man myself, back in the days of playing Quake I and II online constantly. I miss the old Quake deathmatch kill messages and the great sound effects that accompanied someone being blown into fifty million pieces by an explosion. :D

I said Extreme damage, long range.

They're all fun though.

I used to play Q2 all the time and I loved the railgun. On good ping servers that is and on a fairly wide open maps. Some nights I couldn't miss, other nights I couldn't hit a damn thing. Second favorite quake 2 weapon has to be the rocket launcher. And the shotgun ruled with quad damage. And don't forget the BFG.

But the railgun was the most satisfying kill.

When I played Rogue Spear, then Medal of Honor, the sniper rifles were my natural choice. Something about getting the long-distance kill was very satisfying.

I used to get people in MOH calling me a pussy for using the sniper rifle. They said I had no skill because I used a weapon that could get a one shot kill. I find it hard to understand why it would take less skill to kill with a weapon that only fires once every 2 or 3 seconds instead of a spray n pray weapon like the mg's that fire 20 rounds in that same amount of time and only require 2 or 3 hits to kil.

Heh, yeah. The super shotgun + Quad was a deadly combo. Same thing with the chaingun/super nailgun. Quad with the rocket launcher or grenade launcher was suicide waiting to happen, but I was dumb enough to do it plenty of times.... ;)

EDIT: Almost forgot. Never got so much satisfaction from a kill as when I duked it out one on one with this guy once for about 5 minutes straight. We went from rocket launchers to nailguns to shotguns to axes before I finally put him down for the count with a lucky axe stroke. :D

Rocket jump + Quad = bad idea

I used to love playing 1 v 1 and 2 v 2 in Q2 Rocket Arena.
