They carry shitloads of arrows too.Amsay said:
I remember another one: the Rebel Torpedo cruiser (or whatever) from Empire At War: Forces of Corruption. Fast, heavily shielded, turbolasers miss it, it's meant to be anti-capital-ship-ship but it also has clusterbombs which destroy fighters and bombers in shitloads, tractor beams hardly slow it down and it's shields regenerate way too fast. Also, the AI spams them like crazy.
UltimaProtos from Nali Weapons II mod for Unreal Tournament
Its a gun that shoots a giant ball of omni-destructive death that's slowly expands over the entire map. How is that no awesome?

The Sword of Aeons was much more powerful.sebar nl said:
I'll go ahead and say Halo. As in the weapon system itself. Take THAT all biomass in the galaxy....
The Tsunami BETA and Armageddonator from Jets 'n' Guns. Sure, you have to beat the game a couple of times to get them, but holy crap.
Perfect Thanatos in Chaos Legion. Once you level him up that far, he can do pretty much the entire level for you. Bosses included.
Unreal Tournament's flak cannon. Love that thing.
I wouldn't call it overpowered, rather that all the other weapons are a bit underpowered (stuff in this game takes ages to die... and there's so much of it!), but my level-21 character's Triton sniper rifle in Hellgate: London has a damage stat of over 200.
The cannon from the Serious Sam games. Imagine a gun that fires a massive uranium-laced metal ball about a metre across, that rolls across the ground at a medium-fast speed, bouncing off walls. This cannonball deals two rockets' worth of damage to anything it hits - and doesn't stop. No, it keeps going, rolling through enemies until its timer runs out or it hits something it can't destroy in one hit, and explodes massively. Better yet, you can charge the weapon; holding the trigger down for a second or so turns the shot into a faster-moving, burning version that does about three times the damage.
The Type 7 Particle Weapon in FEAR. Its zoom is better than the sniper rifle's, doesn't drift and doesn't close off your screen to a tiny scope-thing. And it kills basic baddies in one hit. I say kills; it turns them into clouds of blood and a scorched skeleton.

Farsight from Perfect Dark. Goes through walls, instant kill and the secondary mode does the aiming for you
Damn, beat me to it.smargh1015 said:
Seriously, that gun is SO over-powered (at least for Fallout 3's standards). You're firing about 1/10 of all the mini-nukes in the game with one pull of that trigger.
Well yeah, except that a single well timed shot from the force gun can knock most enemies away in a heart beat. Also the line gun, if you aim it at leg height can take out a whole row of enemies. The ripper can simply shred enemies apart and for me the Cutter was my favourite. It was standard but you could still defend yourself quite well and fortunatley ammo for the thing was very easy to find.Future Hero said:
But even with overpowerment, there was no denying it. The dismemberment aspect of the combat was my favourite thing about Dead Space!!
