Favorite Weapons in Games

[Rosshooton1]

OK, first things first, sorry about the 'has been done a million billion times before' subject, but as this is my first post on this forum I thought I'd get things going with a nice easy subject.

My personal favorite is the Ion Cannon from the Command and Conquer series of games. Just watching that blue streak come down from the heavens and taking out everything within the blast radius is something that every CnC fan craves. Also, the satisfaction of taking out a noobs bunched up structures is something that never stops making me feel good about myself, and I think the noobs get something out of it too, they learn not to bunch up their power plants or whatever.

Anyway.....discuss...

The Vintorez from S.T.A.L.K.E.R and the crossbow from Half-Life 2

Silent sniper fire FTW!

 

[Caliostro]

Gravity Gun.


Best weapon ever.


That is all

I have to say....

The Cerebral Bore from Turok 2
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2
Chainsaw Gun and Torque Bow from Gears of Wars (I've only played the first level and a few mulitplayer matches, so I don't know what the one gun is called)

The Uber Gravity Gun you get at the end of HL2. The second you see an enemy soldier, just pick 'im up and toss 'em back. Infinite fun to be had throwing your opponents every which way.

There is also something to be said for the Portal Gun...crazy awesomeness.

Hmmm, I was expecting "This thread has been done before" comment.

As for the topic:
The Painkiller from Painkiller.

agree

 

[Dr Spaceman]

OMG! I REPLIED TO THREaD LIKE THIS IN WEEKS!

Uh... Wanted to get that stupid shit out of the way.

Lightsaber from Jedi Knight games. Fundamentally change the way action games are played. These games play in markedly different ways than any other FPSs do.

gravity gun from HL2
SIMPLE

Something new to say... something new to say...

Ah yes! I love the nuclear missle super-weapon from Red Alert 2. Nothing gives you a power overdose like confirming a nuckear strike and witnessing the total carnage that ensues. Same goes for the nuke from Civilisation Revolution. Hooray for confirmation buttons! Dooming an entire city with a tap of my A button!

Here's a thought:

Nuke in RA2 vs. Nuke in StarCraft. Which is better?

 

[The_Spirit_of_Epic]

also, the KILL EVERYTHING button. every game should have that.

 

[Milkatron]

BFG 9000-Doom
Treegun-Painkiller.

Those two guns have single-handedly made my day multiple times.

HM to: Cerebral Bore, Gravity Gun.

 

[cthulhu257]

The Yithian lightning gun from Call of Cthulhu. If you've never heard of it, go on youtube.
Also, the magnum from the first Halo.

 

[Black yeoman]

Its close between the dual nuclear ballistic missiles, shot from a tank on earth 2150 and the gravity gun from half life.

Another note, what would be great fun would be if you could replay the final level on co-op, one person with a pimped gravity gun and another with the crosbow, I would spend hours sticking combine to walls in silly positions!

 

[ElephantGuts]

Fuel-Air RPG. Mercenaries 2. Orgasmic.

 

[L4Y Duke]

As Yahtzee would put it, the "F--- You" button in God of War.

 

[ShadeFox]

I would say the Physics gun from HL2, I think thats what they official name for the upgraded Zero Point energy device was.

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

gravity gun. period.
runner up: crossbow.
end of thread.

 

[RTR]

The Big F@#%ing Gun (BFG) 9000 from the Doom series
The Faclon Talons and the scythe from Ninja Gaiden II
The Spread Gun from Contra
The Hammer of Dawn from Gears of War
Wow, so many to choose...
