I'm the type of guy who likes to watch his enemy's face as he dies

I use the shotgun, unless i'm playing a game where shotguns are underpowered (COD4, FarCry 2, Gears of War 2, etc.). Then I usually go with a semiautomatic or some other fairly accurate machinegun.

It doesn't really matter that much though, I'll use anything that gives me more dakka.

A melee weapon for me. Nothing's quite as satisfying as that sound when you stab an alien in the chest.

Select fire assault rifle in something like 5.56mm ammo like the M16.

Most of the armies in the world use weapons like that, even the Russians have switched to the 5.45x39mm AK74 and away from the .30 cal AK47.

Something like the M16 or AK47; accurate to at least 300m, yet recoil low enough to fire rapidly from the shoulder like a submachine gun for me to have the edge in close encounters.

It really is good for everything from zombies, to modern armies to alien invaders and with tungsten-core ammo it will work in a pinch against robots.

Logistically it is very good too, it is the most popular military cartridge in the world, popular with hunters too and a bandoleer of 10 fully loaded magazines equalling 300 rounds weighs only 10 Lbs so you can carry loads of it. For the same weight you could only carry half as much ammo in larger calibres like 7.62x51mm.

Shotgun shells are even more logistically unsound, as they weight up to 100 grams per round so a 10 Lbs bandoleer would be for only 45 shells. Many are not waterproofed at all so have to wade through water any ammo = useless.

Sniper rifles are in fact incredibly heavy for some strange reason, probably something to do with maximising accuracy and you need months of intense training as well as some inherent skill to truly take advantage of a snipe rifle.

Pistol or melee only if I wanted to avoid attention, but consider WWII, most of the casualties were unarmed civilians. In a similar situation I would not rely on appearing as unarmed to protect myself, it may just make me a more tempting target.

Automatic I suppose is like a submachine gun. Well an assault rifle is every bit as good as the best submachine gun only better in almost every way.

Special weapon. Rocket launcher would be nice, something like the RPG-7 or to be really retro the Super Bazooka [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bazooka#Rocket_Launcher.2C_M20_.22Super_Bazooka.22] that to spite the design being almost 2 decades older it has about identical capabilities.

Superweapon? Like a nuclear bomb? A stealth bomber? I suppose the closest thing to a super weapon you can actually carry is a Laser Designator to deliver precision strike of 2000lbs bombs. But I hardly have an advanced air force on call and this would be only useful for attack at a time when I'd be trying to avoid trouble, so no.

PS: I'd take the gravity gun if it was on offer.

I love using sniper rifles. I love being the hidden asshole on the battlefield. Come on a ghillie suit, powerful and awesome guns! What more can you f*cking ask for!?
I hate you. Please don't take offense. Let's say my ingame person hates you. Your ingame person makes my ingame person froth at the mouth.
HUH!? I did not understand what you just said! o_O All I'm thinking of is that I'm some cocky ass person that says I'm the best sniper there is that your the one to complain about how gay and stupid I am. then move on to how gay my voice sounds and mock every word I say. Is by chance that what you mean?
woooooo..um no lol. Just meant snipers are the bane of my ingame existence..I'm the guy that rush out every time. every.time. can't help it. I must peek window..
Oh I get it so you hate me because I'm the punishment for you showing you soft supple head for me to pick off one by one >:) Why do you think I enjoy being the hidden asshole in the field?

i said superweapon. although technically i favor the sniper. im saying this because:
My sniper is:
A sniper rifle
A chainsaw
A pair of daggers
able to call down 4 different superweapons (Ion cannon, Sustained Ion blast, a beam that teleports whatever it impacts to a realm of infinite torment, and a Sphere of Nuetronium that can destroy planets)
An M-60
A mass Driver (rail gun for you tards who dont know what a Magnetic propulsion cannon is properly named) (technically how it fires as a sniper/M-60)
A 40mm Grenade Launcher

I don't have a specific one for every game. IN Fallout 3, I use a gatling gun and fists, and while you'd think I'm a die-hard Heavy on TF2, I prefer the Medic, Scout, or Spy. IN Modern Warfare, I use M4. In Halo, I use the Gravity Hammer and Rocket Launcher. The only weapon I don't use often is the sniper rifle, since I'm not too good with it.

Totally depends, I like to support my team with a BR in Halo 3 at mid range, I snipe constantly in COD4 and the combat shotgun is never out of my hands in Fallout 3.

My special weapon has always been sneaky bollocks (as the Brits say (sorry I wanted to borrow that word))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^/ <---mine goes off when you walk PAST the wall
-------------------- <-- wall

---------------------

the only way to see the mine is to walk in front of it (its a motion mine), making every corner a possible kill zone, leading to slower assaults, when those bog down you can cut them up when there looking down for mines

that's how I play 2142 and BFV at least

Pistols and knives. As the Joker said in the Dark Knight, "Guns are too quick." I prefer killing in games to be more...creative, and artistic. Possibly the reason I'm a fan of predator and his flaying and head-keeping.
....Should I get help? :D

I usually use a Pistol in single player FPS games because they usually are more accurate and do more dammage than everything but the knife and sniper rifle.
