Poll: Your Main Weapon

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I like semi-automatic rifles the most.

 

[Infallible Fail]

I have to go with sniper. There is absolutely nothing more enjoyable to me (in gaming ;p) than dominating everything and everyone in my line of sight. Getting up close and personal is just another (fun) challenge with a sniper. Second would be melee, knifing is too much fun.

I would use large staff like object there are always plenty around can be thrown in a pinch and can be made into a spear with a sharp object and some glue plus you can stab someone in the eye from up to 8 feet away

 

[Macgyvercas]

If possible, BFG9000. If not, pistols seem to get the job done.

 

[spikespiegel]

Defo a sniper...

 

[SteakHeart]

A minigun. No one is safe from 3 spinnin' barrels of sheer awesome.

 

[That One Six]

I prefer the semi-auto rifle. It saves ammo and packs a killer punch. M1 Garand is my top choice.

 

[squballs1234]

Pistols ftw, in any game where I can use a pistol I use it, dual weilding, single handed or sniping in CoD. I love pistol and hand guns of all sorts. (Plasma pistol included)

 

[Phoenix Arrow]

Pistols. Revolvers are my favourite but most games either don't have them or rarely provide ammo.
Special mention to the katana in Perfect Dark Zero. I played that game with my ex-boyfriend and refused to use any other weapon after that.

You mean 6-8 barrels, right? I prefer Assault Rifles/SMGs for portability, ammo is easy to find, and you can pick 'em off real close or at a mid-range.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

I like to use a revolver, but sadly they are absent from most games.

 

[Lukeje]

My scathing wit. Or a shotgun.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

I know Claymore's can't be a main weapon. But aside from the Sniper rifle as my main I will carry them whenever possible in a game. They just fit so snugly against your torso when crawling through the jungle dirt.

All this talk about weapons get's me hyped up, so tis a good topic you've made
I wish they'd made some more Viernam games...
(Sorry to go on about this, I got kinda stuck in the Vietnam war mentally).

 

[Liro_Raeriyo]

Pistols, there basic and everyone gets pissed at you when you shoot them in the head at a farther range then a sniper rifle.

 

[Jamash]

What's the difference between an automatic weapon and a special auto/semi?

Any way I'd pick 'superweapon', meaning all of the above, since any weapon is "super" when things are trying to kill you.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Sniper rifle. I like shooting from a distance, means that I'm safer. And I like to sneak and pick them one by one like wooden ducks.

Cops and Robbers in Halo was so fun because everyone would piss at my deadly accuracy/usage-of-the-aim-button.

SuperWeapon means things like the BFG.

And special autos/semis would be pumped up regular ones, like the magnum for semi, (can't think of one for auto.)

EDIT: Pistols aren't that super against a Big Daddy.

 

[Benny Blanco]

When the option is available I like to use an Assault Rifle with a scope and the selector switch on semi-automatic - still has a faster cycle time than most sniper rifles and most games don't make a big distinction in accuracy.

 

[LordGarbageMan]

Raging Bull is how I roll. Or Spas 12. Either works fine.

I would, but 3 barrels are lighter and more portable. Either way, it's a minigun. How can you go wrong with that?
