Greatest Computer Game Weapon Ever

Write in your candidate if it's not here.

1. Garand, Call of Duty

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! KTIIIIING!

[7th_Sephiroth]

2. i beg to differ

the B.A.R. kicks the M1 Garand's ass

[NewHampshireDem]

5. BAR is too sloppy and eats ammo too fast, IMHO

though zoomed in it is terrific, but not as good as the garand. However, the Kar totally kicks ass.

[Endangered Specie]

30. Yes, a kar is very handy in this game

though I like the enfield even more bc of the sights, I can hit as far as a sniper with it.

[democracyindanger]

6. Good from cover, but

the Garand offers more mobility and is quicker when you need to swing from target to target. Plus, as I said before:

BANG! BANG! BANG! KTIIIING! :P

[7th_Sephiroth]

7. the M1 Garand is a stable weapon

but you cannot reload it between fire fights like you can the bar, and the rate of fire is slow enough and powerfull enough you can hold your own with it

[Goldom]

3. The Biorifle (Unreal Tournament)

Why? Cause I have a quote about it.

"This weapon fires globs of biological material, which blow up after a few seconds, as all good biological material should. This really isn't useful for much, althogh I imagine it would help with an infestation of silverfish."

[Ladyhawk]

16. I always called it the "snot gun."

My Game Commander 2 voice command is "snot gun." Hehe. :)

23. The UT '99 rocket launcher shot 5 missles at once.

That was the first time I could do that in a game, I thought it was GREAT.

[NewHampshireDem]

4. I loved the Rail Gun in Q3, too

On that one map with the bounce pads that is floating in space ... once you got up on that platform you could snipe, snipe, snipe ... the bots were so dumb, and everytime they hit the bounce pad across the map, they came down in exactly the same spot. I had so many 10-in-a-row and perfect medals, it wasn't even funny

[HamstersFromHell]

8. The chainsaw in Doom

It was one of those unexpected "Wtf? Oh! Muhahahahahahahaha..." moments in life.

[DrGonzoLives]

9. The Katana in GTA: Vice City

Walk to beach. Get katana. Kill. Fun!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

34. Ahhh, Katana memories. Such hacking, slicing goodness...

[Twillig]

10. The 'ASMD' Shock Rifle in UT

Unreal Tournament '99 that is! UT2k3/4 can SMD!


(forgive the low qual image, I went overboard saving bandwidth)

[geomon666]

11. Lap Top Gun - Perfect Dark N64

Awesome machine gun but if you wanted, you could throw it on the floor or against the wall or ceiling and it became a sentry gun.

[Huckebein the Raven]

21. I loved the Lap Top Gun.

Good way to clear out a room when used as a sentry gun.

[Worst Username Ever]

22. Yes, that thing was awesome. Next best thing to proximity mines.

You jsut had to make sure it had enough ammo!

[atreides1]

12. Heavy Bolter

Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War

[DireStrike]

13. Flashbangs

From Counterstrike or any other game that has them.

[Squeegee]

14. How about the Plasma Sword from Halo 2?

[Worst Username Ever]

24. Whoever has that or the rocket launcher pretty much wins.

I love that game on Live.

[Ladyhawk]

15. Loved the shrinker in Duke 3D...but I voted grav gun.

I've only played the demo. My machine is a bit below specs for HL2, but I love that grav gun. :D

[7th_Sephiroth]

17. oooh oooh oooh

the dildo from GTA: SA

[Ready4Change]

18. 2 from "Armed and Dangerous"

I must admit I've never played this game, but these two weapons almost made me. I love the concepts.

The Gravity Bomb

You drop this on the ground, grab its two hand grips, then activate it. Gravity in your surroundings reverses and your foes fall off the planet. What could be more fun than that?

The Landshark Gun

Maybe this. Target your foe and press the trigger. In seconds a huge fin appears and races to the target. Then a huge shark leaps from the earth and devours the target. Yumm!

What wacky, cool ideas. I've heard the game itself isn't that terrific, though.

[slestak]

19. Redeemer, baby!

From Unreal Tournament:

The first time you witness this miniature nuclear device in action, you'll agree it is the most powerful weapon in the Tournament. Launch a slow-moving but utterly devastating missile with the primary fire; but make sure you're out of the Redeemer's impressive blast radius before it impacts. The secondary fire allows you to guide the nuke yourself with a rocket's-eye view. Keep in mind, however, that you are vulnerable to attack when steering the Redeemer's projectile. Due to the extreme bulkiness of its ammo, the Redeemer is exhausted after a single shot.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

20. i 2nd that

the Redeemer is, hands down, the single coolest fucking game weapon of all time.

[Worst Username Ever]

25. THAT was a great gun.

[Twillig]

29. It's a great weapon if you are

a N00b!



Grab a shock rifle and get busy!


:-)

[toddzilla]

26. what about SHOGO?

it had some great weapons.. can't remember the names of them, but some really cool shit!

[Ready4Change]

27. I played that.

And it had some good weapons with different characteristics. I recall one I used to use to bounce grenades around corners before poking me head around.

But mostly I started using the sniper rifle for headshots. That was the best and easiest if you weren't in a hurry.

Cool game, and came across quite anime.

[Terran]

28. It's in a different class from all these, but

Alpha Centauri's Planet Buster is pretty damn cool, f'ya ask me.

[Endangered Specie]

31. Mauser Kar 98k Sniper, MOHAA.

Quick fire, good zoom, big scope, steady hand.

You don't stand a chance when I got one of these :evilgrin:

[Chovexani]

32. Dude, you need to play some stuff besides shooters

Everyone knows the best weapon in any video game is the Shoe in Super Mario Bros. 3. :P

A close second is Lulu's Onion Knight in Final Fantasy X. :P

[NuttyFluffers]

33. i was always rather partial to Spoon in FF2 (usa)

and Akiko's Frying Pan in PSO

but somewhere in there the giant purple dildo in GTA:SA must get props

[Chovexani]

35. Serge's GF had a frying pan in Chrono Cross

I'm totally blanking on her name. Mostly because 95% of that cast could have been cut from the game and it wouldn't have made a difference.

Giant purple dildo, though?! Do tell! I'm waiting for SA to get a bit cheaper on eBay before I pick it up (Broke Gamer's Disease).

[NuttyFluffers]

36. ain't that the truth about chrono cross...

most of that game was dismissable.

but yes, there's a giant purple dildo (roughly a 12" possibly a 15") and one of the easier places to find it is in the port area, where cranes and stuff are. it's just like a small club, so it isn't all that overwhelming, but it screams style points. you can beat people to death with the dildo too. funny watching your gangsta dressed up all in ghetto mafia with bling bling and beating down some random dude with a 12"er. it jiggles a bit too, instead of completely stiff like a club, quite funny.

[7th_Sephiroth]

38. its part of an aspect that got cut out of SA:

namely, sex with the girlfriends, there was supposed to be able to have sex with a girlfriend, in fact, you can give the dildo to the girlfriend like flowers

[everythingsxen]

37. Dude - with all the UT comments... how about the Redeemer?

I also dig the Halo2 Plasma Sword.

For non-FPS weapons:

The Tesla Coil in all its various iterations throughout the Red Alert series.

[TheMightyFavog]

39. Ppsh 41

It has to be the one with the drum magazine, not the stick mag.

Best close quatrers weapon in BF:1942's Forgotten Hope mod. Just spray and pray.
