You can go with this....

Blitzkrieger · 07-01-2002 2:38am #1

...or you can go with that.

What's your weapon of choice? No funny Christopher Walken type dancing needed.

TFC : It has to be the rocket launcher. It's probably the reason I gravitated towards def. solly - if I ever get time off work to play for the clan that is. It's great short range. Any spy or medic trying to do unspeakable things to you can be held off by shooting at their feet, and if you pin someone in a corner with it, they've got no chance. It's also good at long range. The only way I can take on the slpbs nowadays is to open up the range. If you're any good you'll hit them every time while a bad player won't hit **** at long range.

HL Vanilla : Tough choice this one. Just about every weapon is good in the right hands, but I'll go for the : tripmine.

Always lots of laughs to get set one on a corner, then get someone to chase you into it.

Also fun to set 2 or 3 in an alley-way, then hide, and shoot them while someone is trying to duck under them.

UT : minigun - the coward's choice.

If you can't aim - it's the weapon for you.

Q3 : Even though I've had it for two years I've never played the sniveling lump of ****e more than a handful of times. Mmmmmm - the rocket launcher.

Kingpin : Flame thrower - extra crispy anyone?

Deus Ex : Stun rod. That noise people make when you use it on them just sends shivers down my spine.

Codename 47 : Gotta love twin Beretta 9mms. John Woo eat your heart out.

Now all I have to do is get my hands on Max Payne, RTCW, Op Flash, AvP2, etc.

One important mod you're forgetting... CS

richindub2 · 07-01-2002 1:21pm

TF: Spanner kills, just cant beat it when you spanner someone to death.

Q3: Railgun, the best test of aim ;p

GoneShootin · 07-01-2002 1:44pm

also 4got the VENOM GUN from RTCW

amp · 07-01-2002 2:09pm

The Dragonov on Project IGI was worth buying the game for. Such range, no stupid wobble (although I do like RCTW wobble thing cos it makes you crouch and settle down). Some punter 3 miles away from you, dead, good bye, sianara.

I like the rail in Q3 but tend to use the RL more.

Deus Ex's heat seeking missles were fun.

I love the flame thrower in RCTW cos it's so pretty, but it's fairly impractical except when dealing with zombies. My favourite gun in RCTW would have to be the paratrooper rifle cos it's a good alrounder. Not bad up close and pretty good at mid range.

In UT the Flak gun owns me, flak grenades are so much fun.

Hmmm forgot about the sheer evilness of the Quake Supernailgun. And obvously the hyperblaster in Q2 was nice. And the shrink ray gun in Dukem Nukem.

Stephen · 07-01-2002 2:26pm

TFC: I quite like the fat man HWguy's autocannon, great for those of us who can't aim very well

The engineer's EMP grenades rock too.

CS: Don't play it, it smells of urine

Cake 3: The rocket launcher, or BFG for completely unbalanced, over the top fun.

UT: Flak cannon or that big guided nuke thing that I can't remember the name of

Half-Life: The MP5 is fun, not the best weapon around though

Max Payne: Colt Rifle and M-80 grenade launcher

GoneShootin · 07-01-2002 2:38pm

the REDEEMER perhaps ?

This is the Mother of all rocket launchers. You've got two choices here: you can either "fire and forget" into a roomful of enemies (just make sure you're out of the room when it hits because its enormous splash damage will get you, too) or you can - get this - pilot the rocket to the target of your choice! You heard right: you can fire the rocket and then switch to the projectile's point of view, guiding it through the environment until you find a target suitable for blowing to hell.

altho this looks very nice, coming in Unreal 2

ykt0di9url7bc3 · 07-01-2002 4:12pm

UT: it has to be the Bio Rifle...so much fun for multiple kills and for
freaking a few people

CS: Assault Shotgun......ambushing some one with this is so cool

Q3:Plasma Rifle....best of a bad bunch

Q2:Grenade Launcher...so evil, so humilating

Deus Ex:9mm with all the trimmings and souped up hand gun skills and the mj12 start dropping like flies

Half life:Mp5 grenade launcher kills all players

TF: the flame thrower and strafing circles.....mmmm grilled HW

Sam: the minigun is unreal.....

OPFlash: Dragonov is the best sniper rifle i have ever used in a game

SoF: Desert Eagle reeks of power

AvP: I only choose Alien

BLITZ_Molloy · 07-01-2002 4:35pm

Quake:
Rocket Launcher (Stupidly powerful in the original)

Quake 2:
Rail Gun (Blue corkscrew looked so unbelievably cool. WTF did they take it out of Q3 at the last moment???)

Quake 3:
Nothing- they all sucked compared to Q2.

Unreal:
Rocket Launcher (Cool alt fire- queue the rockets up and fire 5 at once!)

Calvin & Hobbes:
Transmogrifier Gun (Modified Water pistol)

Total Annihilation:
Big Bertha ( What other RTS has a gun that can shoot the whole way across the map!)

Duke Nukem:
Shrinker (I love stepping on friends in multiplay)

TF:
Rocket Launcher (Essential for getting around the level. Without rocket jumps it's too hard to get the flag)

SOF:
Desert Eagle

Counter Strike:
Wayyy too many to choose just one.... ok...I'll pick the AK. One shot kills on head shots and beautiful accuracy if you use short bursts of fire.

Half-Life:
Cross-Bow... I like the *Thock* noise it makes

Balfa · 23-03-2002 2:20am

I saw this discussion on 3dactionplanet.com and thought i'd get it going over here

here's my list:

10. Lightsaber - Jedi Knight
Mmmm.... Shot-reflecting goodness.

9. Flashbang - Counter-Strike
Lethal if used correctly. Also lethal if used incorrectly, but for the wrong team.

8. LAW - Operation Flashpoint
Especially when used to destroy T80s over 2km away.

7. Shovel - DoD 2.0
Because you can never get bored shovelling americans

6. Dual Flak Cannon - UT's dual weapon mod
Twice the overkill!

5. Rocket Launcher - quake
Launch yourself into the air, then launch your friend into the air, then hit him again before either of you land

4. Chainsaw - DOOM
Loud and pointy, and original.

3. Telefragging - Any Deathmatch worth its salt
Lacking any real skill at deathmatch, i resort to luck

2. Snarks - Half-Life
So cute and cuddly and painful.

1. The arm of the guy you're about to beat to death - Biosphere
Okay it's not strictly a FPS, but it's gotta be the best weapon ever

astrofool · 23-03-2002 2:29am
