Worst weapon add-on ever....

[NickCaligo42]

What about the trip wires? I used those to kill an insane amount of Big Daddies.

They're okay, but it's just stupid that in order to justify a tripwire weapon that they had to come up with so many other superfluous ammo types, and frankly I never got the hang of using tripwires apart from just firing them directly into enemies.

rifle scopes in Rainbow Six Vegas 2... when mounted on shotguns.

The only reason one would take them is for lols

 

[Pyode]

The single shot under-barrel shotgun in Army of Two. If you look at it it, the mag should easily be able to hold 4 or 5 shells but apparently it only holds one so you have to reload after every shot.

Absolutely useless.

ACOG scope for MW2. It sucks compared to Cod4's.

Dear lord it doesnt only suck but its pure crap. Try sniping with that thing for the thermal scope....took me ages and i used the bolt rifle too. And my ps3 broke so i gotta re EARN it all again.... but this is for another thread.

Neither did I until I left my game on the menu and saw that trailer...thing I guess.
I love making a Big Daddy dash into trip wires and then get a face full of electric shotgun rounds at the end.

No you don't, it's all saved on IW servers.

THANK GOD. I was seriously crying earlier when i found out it broke all my hard work down the drain. again for another thread but thanks for the info.

Probably the high-explosive rounds in Mass Effect.

Every round over heats, why when my pistol never overheats and is way too over-powered already?

Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII. You know, It was entertaining for the first map, but after that the wheels fell off it, and I decided it would be a great deal more fun to just play the Desert Combat or Galactic Conquest mods.

While it was never really a finished product, GC was one of my favorite BF1942 mods because flying the X-Wings and Tie Fighters was hella fun.

Either the black dot sight in COD WAW because for some reason wwII iron sights are just so good or red dot sight add-ons in Rainbow Six Vegas 1 or 2, they just seem pointless to use since you can take cover in third person.

Black Dot...?
You mean Apeture sights right? Atleast use the right name.

Oh I'm so sorry the aperturter sightz, you could at least correct me without being condescending.

He's always like that.

OT: The flashlight in Crysis - I already have nightvision, and the light gives away my position. It does, however, make an exceptionally pretty sight at night time.

 

[Kollega]

I really dislike the uprgrades for the Revolver in Bioshock solely because of the damage to the aesthetic appeal. I mean I like the look of the revolver, charming and elegant but now with an extra roll of bullets forced onto one side it just looks like it's sprouting a deformed tumor.
Not really for me, the rest of the upgrades are okay though.

Damage booster was okay, but auto-loader clip... bleugh. Disgusting.

 

[T-Bone24]

The "tactical attachment" in Crysis. It makes your enemies fall asleep to be woken up by other enemies later. It's useless, and you have live ammo anyway. Why use it?

 

[BigHandInSky]

Chainsaw.

In L4D2? That was epic.

I loathe the grenade launcher attachments from Modern Warfare (2, specifically, since I've not played the original, but I've read that it's just as annoying to play against), to the point that when I played against a "noob tuber" (a title that Infinity Ward seems to have endorsed) with a sexual gamertag, I filed a complaint. It's especially annoying that they require you to use it to get the under-mounted shotgun.

I have a friend who will noob tube everyone until he runs out of ammo for the attachment, then get purposefully killed so he has full ammo again. I refused to play with or against him ever again.

I would slap him in face the every time I saw him.

The shotguns on any Modern Warfare 2 assault rifles. I just don't like them, I never get any kills. If I want a shotgun, I'll just use the SPAS 12.

Funny thing is, it feels useless but it's actually quite useful.

I agree with you on the SPAS 12, its actually pretty good but i prefer the Striker, cause in a way its a better version of the M1014

OT: Sights for a shotgun eg: RDS, i know there're useful i've used them but i just find its pointless because i almost always hipfire with a shotgun

 

[bad_dog14]

The undermounted shotgun in MW2 takes the cake on this one. It's so useless and I've never ever ever seen someone get killed with that horrid piece of crap.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

The laser sight in L4D2.
Does it actually do anything or am I missing the point somewhere?

It does make the weapon ever-so-slightly more accurate. It's most noticeable on the AK47.

OT: Akimbo anything (except for the model 1887) in MW2. I like being able to aim down my sights for a reason.

 

[Communist partisan]

grip in cod waw the shotguns still don't kill on less than 2m

 

[Wadders]

To all those hating on the undermounted shotty on MW2, I use it quite a lot, and it was really useful. Until about a day ago, where it now takes me 2-3 direct hits to kill with it, whereas before it took 1. So it was useful

To me, the heartbeat sensor is pretty pointless, toy have to take your eyes off the main screen to look at it, and it only shows whats in your field of fire.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

I don't remember which Ratchet and Clank game it was, but you couldn't choose to not unlock it, and it turned your awesome lavagun with 200 ammo, to a pathetic grenade launcher with thirty. It was also inferior to the base version of the several explosive weapons you already had.

 

[Nevyrmoore]

Alternatly the full auto mod for the Chinese Pistol in the weapon mod kits mod. Each round only does a maxumum of 4 damage, it has a 10 round mag, let's just burn through those babbies...

Try pairing WMK with FO3 Wanderers Edition. As far as I know, the Chinese Pistol matches the 10mm Pistol with it. Well, in terms of damage, anyway, I don't know if accuracy, fire rate and effective range are the same. And I never actually tested it, because I personally use the .32 Pistol, which now closely matches the Hunting Rifle in terms of damage.

3rd-party mod fuckery aside, the shotgun for your rifle in Splinter Cell. Isn't the point to be as quiet as possible? Shotguns are hardly quiet!

 

[dwoo21]

Two words...noob tube. I don't use it and I'm a noob, maybe I should join the incredibly cheap kill club since I suck so bad.

 

[Linkassassin360]

Puting a chainsaw on a gun (gears of war) With gas prices what they are, now I have to pay 2.99 per kill!
