Unnecessary weapons in games.

Dead Space: flamethrower,cant use it in deoxygenated areas and you should only use it to make the game more difficult.

TF2: the Claid Hmohr (think i spelled it right)
there is no reason whatsoever to use this over the bottle/pan, the eyelnder, the skullcutter, or the caber. it increases your charge distance while still lowering your health, what an invaluble weapon we have here...
also, some of the stock weapons. I have no idea why someone would use the stock syringe gun over the Blutsauger or Crossbow... or why someone would use the shovel over the equalizer... or the bonesaw over the Amputator... or the standard fire axe over anything else...

The guns in Condemned 2 were worthless. You could only carry one magazine, and they didn't really work all that well.

Wait, what? They killed most enemies in one or two shots, and were pretty much necessary to beat at least two of the levels. Sure, they weren't as good as other FPS guns, but they were still incredibly useful during the game (hence why you only got a single magazine). Heck, in Condemned 2 you even got to reload (unlike the first game) if you found another gun or an ammo locker, further increasing their usefulness.

You should go watch Spoiler Warning with Shamus Young... Josh (the guy actually playing) uses the shotgun to devastating effect along with the Vanguard charge.

I guess it depends on the class, as a soldier I found no use for them.

Everything other than the Plasma Cutter and Line Gun in Dead Space.

I really liked the achievement to just use the Plasma Cutter, because I would probably not have realized that it is the most versatile weapon in the game.

I've heard about the console version having that achievement, and finishing the game with only the Plasma Cutter isn't much of a stretch of the imagination. Granted, the Line Gun does make it a lot easier to deal with narrow-profile enemies, but with a bit of practice, I can imagine being able to regularly take them out with the Plasma Cutter.
