Most useless weapons in gaming

I gave it to my personal aide, Jericho I think his name was. He used it on a wild dog me and my mate had just noticed out of the corner of our eyes, absolutely bloody hilarious. Completely worth it :')JesterRaiin said:
OT: Grenades from Battlefield 2. Perhaps I just never got used to them but they had an incredulously long fuse, only ever killed one person with it and that was because he was trapped at the bottom of a stairwell with very little health.
EDIT: Edited it for spelling
I'd say the impact hammer from UT3. I mean, when the player can carry around 10 guns at a time, why the fuck would you use a melee weapon? It says that the alt fire, an emp blast, can knock a powerup off a player, but you never use it because unreal tournament isn't a game where you get up close and personal, it's a game where there are big maps and people are content at shooting each other at medium range! You just never use it because there are *bigger* and *better* things to kill people with.
Excalipoor I honestly don't think there is much to add to this post other than random stuff to avoid low content.
I'm very inclined to second this. While the Fat Man may come in handy against the odd Super Mutant Behemoth, and in games in general the super-weapons are needed against some bosses they are almost exclusively designed for, I rarely end up using them - "just in case".JesterRaiin said:
Ah the gibbering terrified frustration in one hit kills as one tried to gun somebody down with the Klobb as they made a beeline for a more effective weapon.Fishyash said:Ninja'd already...Soviet Heavy said:This right here.
oKlobb definately, especially since it isn't a joke weapon either.
Or worse turned around and slapped you.
I miss the feelings that game engendered in me. No FPS have ever quite replicated that feeling.
Anyone want to come round for four-player grenade launchers in the temple on license to kill?
SCREENWATCHING MANDATORY
I knew this list wouldn?t go for long without a few mentions for Goldeneye?s Klobb.
It was unsatisfying to fire, didn't seem to do much damage, and even if you had two of them you were better off just using a single KF7 Soviet (that's AK47 for some silly copyright reason or something.)
But I do agree with melee being pointless for most (most) FPS games. If melee did more damage than the guns you have, if stealth was absolutely essential, or if ammunition was very scarce then maybe. TF2 (amongst others) used melee very cleverly.
I?ll give a vote to the martial arts in FEAR 1. Yes I know it?s for ?stealth? etc but I?m a bullet-time freak with 10 medikits at my immediate disposal and that Replica might turn around before I reach him anyway!
Maybe the Deku nuts from Ocarina of Time? I don?t know about you but I never used them.
Or maybe that big super-duper worm-launcher thingy from System Shock 2 ? it was rubbish and cost way too many cyber modules to research and equip.

The Bubble Gun from Earthworm Jim 2. I honestly think it didn't do ANYTHING. Other than be funny.
Other than that, Growl and the various other "lowers defense/attack" moves in Pokemon. Outside of a very few specific situations, there is nearly always a more effective or useful move choice. I deliberately didn't choose Splash because, honestly, its too obvious.

I used the fatman for FO3 all the time. I could get 3 mini nukes every wednedsay and sunday, plus all the ones in the wasteland. It's New Vegas when I only got 8 mini nukes, where I saved'em.
Now the MIRV from Fallout3 was really usless. Waste 8 mini nukes when one could do the job.

Not exactly a weapon but rifle infantry in basically every C&C game. They do zero damage to just about everything and for the cost of 2-3 infantry you can get an armored vehicles that has way more firepower, doesn't get run over, and much faster, and can be repaired.
Sure, it was epic as hell if it worked, but the situation hardly ever came. You had to be sure there was not ONE pixel in the way, it made you look so stupid if you failed to fatality-poke someone. In these situations, I preferred the baseball bat.CRRPGMykael said:
