Top Ten Game Weapons of All Time

[Captante]

One of my personal favorites was the Eightball from the original Unreal Tournement.

No shock rifle or redeemer? :frown:

 

[sao123]

yea... wheres the ion cannon / nuclear missile from C&C series?

 

[Rogueverve]

shock rifle (UT), lightning gun (Q3), rocket launcher (every game), and the gauss gun (HL1) should all be on that list somehow.

but i do agree with a good bit of the list.

In all of the FPS games I've played no weapon pisses me off faster than the AWP. This is coming from a person who enjoys playing a sniper role. You could get hit on any part of your body and would be killed 99.9% of the time in one shot.

I agree with Amused. I would have liked to seen the flak cannon mentioned. One of my favorite UT weapons.

Because it's a really lame weapon with no sense of balance or originality?

One shot, one kill. It weeds out all the people who suck at the game.

 

[DefDC]

How about Redneck Rampage's Bowling Ball. Or Chun Li's massive thighs...

The first one was pretty sick lol. I want more guns like that! Impalment and explosion.

I can't view youtube but I will comment on some stuff that I've read in the thread.

Gravity Gun - cool ass gun that deserves its spot.
Nukes - I agree nukes should be on there. I loved nuking bases in starcraft with the ghosts.
Energy Sword on Halo 2 - that should not be on there ... that is one of the weapons in halo 2 that dummied the game down and a major flaw in the games design. It would be okay if it was single player only, but for multiplayer it doesn't help, especially the fact that there is only 1 per level and the weapon respawn system in halo 2 is even more flawed.

Also after playing GoW, I would have to nominate the default machine gun for it's sheer fact it has a chainsaw on the gun. Anyone who's chainsawed someone in GoW on multiplayer can tell you that Chainsawing someone never EVER gets old. Everytime I do it, it feels rewarding. I'm almost going to throw it out there and say the Torque Bow should be on this list too

The redeemer is just another BFG, no?

Shock rifle i agree w/

 

[IronWing]

The shotgun from Doom I was my favorite. The chain thing from Hexen was also fun.

 

[gamepad]

I really liked the Cerebral Bore and Laptop Gun from the N64.

 

[krunchykrome]

I would have to go with the double barrel shotgun from doom.

 

[DeadByDawn]

I liked the guided nuke missle in X-com ufo defense. You'd use one to breach the ufo, then send the other one in right after it to melt some aliens.

 

[vi edit]

Websense doesn't like that page...can someone list them out?

Ditto

And ditto again on the cerebral bore. I loved that thing.

It's not list worthy, but the pre-patch M60 on BFV (aka the "n00b cannon") was ridiculous.

 

[GoPackGo]

I still like the ION Cannon from C&C and the staff of chain lightning from Diablo

 

[shortylickens]

I liked the variety and usefulness of the Red Faction 1 and 2 weapons.
Though the number 1 railgun was a heck of a lot better than number 2.
Also loved the Quake 2 railgun.

I have noticed that some games with good weapons only let you have a few at a time. FEAR being a noticeable offender. Also Far Cry.

 

[Hammerhead]

Gears of War chainsaw gun

 

[BrokenVisage]

Not a bad list, I would move the rail gun up more though.

Heh that was my nominee too. Chainsawing someone on multiplayer still puts a smile on my face every time. It will never get old.

 

[BZeto]

I thought the Laptop gun in PD was the coolest thing ever when I first used it.

 

[ryan256]

Well my first thought was the BFG9K from Doom 1. The original room clearer imho. Flak cannon from UT should have been in there too.

 

[slatr]

Ah Redeemer fights in UT!

I think I blew out a subwoofer from all the explosions.

Did any of you have the strangelove mod where you rode the redeemer?

 

[thraashman]

After my years of being godlike in Quake 2, the railgun is my weapon of choice. And really, the gravity gun was only just kinda neat until it gets upgraded at the end of HL2. The basic gravity gun wasn't anything all the special.

Also, no Unreal love on that list is bs!
