Best FPS Weapon Ever?

TerrorFirmer

The shotgun up close and personal in Soldier Of Fortune 2.....

Talk about messy.

All average weapons if taken in any other game, but the ghoul engine really makes them all stand out....

Boro

The crowbar in Kingpin was satisfyingly meaty as was the flamethrower.
Have to say that i loved the Desert Eagle in CS though.

Sure did, but u could only use it when an enemy was on-screen. If not, it inflicts damage on you instead. Genius. Blood and Rise of the Triad were the first two proper FPS i played. Not sure if Doom/Quake was before or after.

The needler from Halo (x2 especially) also made me smile.

It's gotta be the BFG from the original Doom. Nothing can compare to the childish giggles as you take out a full room demons with one shot for the first time.

Then, on a sicker note, in Postal 2, the shotgun with cat-silencer. (If you know it, you know what I mean, if you don't, then for the love of god don't ask!!!)

springfield from mohaa, it was like an awp in the WW2

I know that one, its brilliant!!

RicardoSmith

Doublebarrel in Doom2
The minigun in Doom1
Pipebombs in Duke Nuken
Decent 1&2 had great weapons.
The Barrett Sniper Rifle in Delta Force 1&2

Turok 2's Cerebral bore gets my vote. The snipper riffle in GoldenEye is close though - it was the first snipper I'd seen in an FPS and so damn satisfying.

Blood never had a shovel, it was a pitchfork.

Then there was the flare gun (it burns it buuuurns! )
Double barrel shotgun (The best shotgun in any game, EVAR)
The tommy gun
Napalm cannon
Dynamite (normal tnt, remotes and proximity detonated)
The spraycan/aerosol can + lighter
Tesla cannon
Life leech (big scary skull on the stick
And the voodoo doll

SmoakingMan you got it with the Bore form Turok 2

In fairness if you absaloutly Positivily have to kill every Mother F^&ker in the building ....including youerself !!!

THe Nuke Weapon Form Turok2 dont think it was availible in multiplayer

Ah yeah, getting mixed up with Postal.

As for best weapon ever (in any game) id say Armageddon with double damage in Worms: Armageddon. Now, im going back on-topic.

smokingman

....aim in the general direction.....bore selected
.......THUNK...WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.......THUNK..DRILLLLLLLLLLLLLL................BOOM!!

Yeah that bore has got to be one of the best! First time I saw (and more importantly HEARD) it I had a big ole smile on my face for ages...

Pity there hasn't been a decent Turok since

The Turok developement team left to form Retro Studies after Turok 2 with other big members of high profile developers such as Valve. So you could say that the Metroid Prime games are the spiritual successors to Turok. They finally got the jumping bits right

Canis Lupus

Turok 2 was too ambitious for the n64 and poorly designed maps wrecked it which is a shame cos I liked turok 1.

Anyway my faves weps:

Any gun from CS...
The shotgun from HL1 and 2
Pulse Rifle from AVP2 (I love the sound)
Thompson CoD

Horsefumbler

In no particular order:

-The impregnator(or whatever it was called) :from Turok Rage Wars
-RCP 90 : Goldeneye
-Fusion cannon :Turok 1
-Minigun : Serious Sam
-Wraithverge : Hexen
-Slayer rocket : Perfect Dark

an honourable mention to the cerebral bore from turok but sometimes it took ages for it to lock and find its target even after it had been fired leaving you a bit vulnerable. Good fun though.

TerrorFirmer

Pulse Rifle from AVP2 (I love the sound)

I totally forgot this!! They sound the same in both games, but I only have AvP gold.....

The smart gun as well, awesome sound effect and animation!

Drunk missile launcher from rise of the triad

hahaha

I can't believe anyone is mentioning silenced weapons in this thread - how are they satisfying? They don't go bang!

As mentioned before;

Doom 2 double-barrelled shotgun
HL2 gravity gun
QW rocket launcher
CS - current M4A1, P90 circa beta 5
As I recall the shotgun in Sin was great too.

abccormac

Proximity mines and slaps from goldeneye.

SirLemonhead

The flamewall from ROTT was fantastic too

Worked great for those numerous long corridoor rooms

Creature

The Concussion Rifle from Dark Forces. Great using this to send a group of enemies flying in all directions.

The BFG from Doom and Quake. Need I say anything more?

The mini-gun from Aliens vs Predator - You may have had to stand still while using it but it was well worth it .
Pretty much all of the Predator's weapons from Aliens vs Predator 2 especially the disc, shoulder cannon and net. Snaring people in the net from a distance and stabbing them with the spear up close was particularly satisfying.

Rise of The Triad. Can't really remember much as it's been many years since I played it last but I do remember there were some truly crazy weapons in it. The firebomb, the flamewall, the split-missile, the drunken-missile but most notably the ability to turn into a dog and kill enemies with your paws. The Barkblast!

But my favourite is definitely the rail gun from Red Faction. A one shot- kill weapon that allows you to see the body-heat of opponents through walls. What more can you want?

SirLemonhead

Don't forget the excalibat

jaggeh

anyone ever play redneck rampage :P
nothing like a bit of toothless shotgun toting fun

Creature

Don't forget the excalibat

Heh yeah I remember that one now. Man I gotta dig that game up, I know it's lying around here somewhere...

Hehe i'm a big fan of all the Build engine games.

the circular saw blade launcher was one of the coolest weapons in that game

Creature

Just remembered the Black hole gun from Blood. Superb weapon, completely over the top but immensely entertaining.

petes

Sniper Rifle - Goldeneye
Pulse Rifle - AVP
Fusion Canno - Turok 1(There was loads of great weapons in this game, they didnt do the damage that they should have but great all the same)
Shot Gun and variety, any game its a cool weapon


Will think of more though

danniemcq

RCP-90 in goldeneye on the N64 then the proximity mine..... so much fun in multiplayer

Creamy Goodness

i love all the ones mentioned above.

another two to add to the list.

ak in CS 1.6 (not ****ty source)
pp7 in goldeneye.

Loobz

The alien bug weapon in HL 1.
The pheromones to control Antlions in HL2.
Setting up the turrets also, nothing like the sound of
'beep beep beep frtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrt.....!'

deadly sound effects the loobz
my favourite weapons in no particilar order:
gravity gun in hl2
gewehr semi aito rifle in COD
and the mg 42(heavy machine gun in COD), nothing more satisfying than setting up your MG in a quite corner and cut every one to shreds that runs past
