your forgetting about the new game plus upgrades XD, which adds ANOTHER 5 lvls to get with it i think. also, the Ryno is just fun to use.Solo-Wing said:
Pretty much this. Describing the Crissaegrim hardly does the weapon justice, so I will instead present video evidence.rayskyrift said:
Here is a boss fight using conventional weapons. The player is not super-leveled or using anything out of the ordinary for this fight:
(Embedding time codes on this website doesn't work, so skip ahead to about 7:00)
Now, Observe the ease with which the Crissaegrim dispatches of all the bosses in the game. Again, the player here is not super-leveled or using any special weapons in these fights except for the Crissaegrim.
Few games have weapons like this that completely and utterly trivialize every single encounter. What puts the Crissaegrim in a special class, is that it empowers the player to do the trivializing, instead of something that is passive or scripted (such as a flat stat boost or a summon spell.)
The Degreaser from TF2, it's only downside is that it inflicts lower damage with the afterburn (which isn't much to being with). But its fast weapon switch got rid of the old problem of puff-n-sting, since you can switch instantly.
Combine it with the Axetinguisher and you basically can instakill all but two classes (Heavy and Pyro) in less than a second, with fast enough button tapping.

Saints Row 2. The Gal 43 submachine gun. You cant effectively use it unless you get the unlimited SMG ammo from the side missions because its insane fire rate eats through all your ammo. But once you do, you can just hose anything until it dies.
Was a bit useful because a lot of the terrorists would use it, thus ensuring you had ammo.
Usually, though in Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 it was kind middle of the road, at least, in terrorist hunt it was. Never played versus much. The only thing that made it really special was the huge clip, but since you only have about one hit point in that game it was usually trumped by accuracy and pure power.BodomBeachChild said:

Indeed although the alucard shield with the shield rod is a close second, especially if you have high magic. 255 damage every 1/10 of a second that heals you.rayskyrift said:
I've always said that in Team Fortress 2 the only rocket launcher that takes any skill in the Direct Hit. All the others, especially the Black box, seem to be overpowered.
Aside from the Blaster Launcher in X-COM, when it comes to the tactical game genere there has to be a mention for a couple from Silent Storm:
Scoped & Silenced Kar98K. Doesn't sound so bad, but due to limitations within the game's AI they won't be able to react if they can't see the enemy. This isn't too much of a problem with the silenced SMGs & pistols, but with this rifle you can waste the entire enemy force without them ever firing a shot or even moving toward your commandos.
X-COM laser rifle - I don't recall its ingame name, but it was a secret weapon included in a rare random encounter. Its one of the most accurate weapons in the game, has burst fire, packs a 50 round "magazine" (for comparison the only other hand held laser weapons in the game have to be reloaded every time they're fired and even the Panzerklien mounted models only carry 16 shots and have significantly worse accuracy). It easily one shots most targets, slices straight through Panzerklien armour and generally delievers a beat down to anything with absurd ease.
I'd also suggest the kick from Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, but thats only because of the silly amount of deep pits, spikes, precariously placed barrels, etc, allowing a swift dispatch of even the toughest mooks.

Indeed, but in the Halo ilk, probably the one on reach that's a beacon placer, calling down an air strike. No wonder it's not on multiplayer...Blatherscythe said:No wonder they nerfed it in Halo two. Could you imagine someone dual wielding those monsters?Hamish Durie said:halo 1 pistol easily the most overpowered pistolPPP
Timing is a key factor, though. Any launcher will need frequent reloading and the rockets are trivial for a Scout to avoid, meaning that he will ruin a Soldier when he gets in close with the scattergun. Snipers can also see the rockets coming a mile away, and a protected Heavy can eat a few rockets, no problem.BoredDragon said:
If you play Medic, Demoman, or Pyro (as I do) you will have problems when a rocket launcher is pointed at you.
Don't forget that you couldn't suppress the sniper rifle and you could hit a guy from a mile away one you attached the laser sight on the pistol.JayDub147 said:
lol i actually find the hammer of dawn kinda funny.Shadowstar38 said:
imagine it from the locust side of things.
"gotta kill that human over there! wait, what's that in the sky..DEAR GOD! LSKJSDF*runs for life*"
edit:
to add in my own gun, i can't remember the name, but at the end of crackdown the stupid asian gang had all their rooftop guys equipped with heat seaking rocket launchers, so unless you were right next to the corner of a huge wall that rocket was about to chase your ass down no matter what, and it had a nerf football like sound so you could hear the damn thing screaming at you in terror =\
Page 4, and no mention of THIS? For shame, internet: (starting at 1:15)
Lightning Chaser says "Hello".
Lightning Chaser says "Hello".
Gravity Gun, BFG, and Jedi Academy Long range Rifle....
The first is good for close encounters, is able to create cover (like a barrel or something), and be used has a projectile (throw a speeding wheel at a enemy).
The second one can basicly kill ANY kind of organic creature, with destructive results...
The third one has far too many bullets, no recoil and destroys the enemy... like vaporize it!!!
