Best explosive weapon in a game

[Azhrarn-101]

The Fusion Cannon from the original Turok. Fire and forget; until the shockwave permanently parts your hair.

My thoughts exactly, loved that gun, also the blastwave from the Chronosceptre was quite a sight to see.

Outside FPSes though, FreeSpace 2 Torpedoes are pretty awesome (shockwaves miles across), and the Aeon Quantum Warhead from Supreme Commander is just explosive art.

 

[TOGSolid]

The rapid fire mini-rocket launcher from Planetside. I cleared out so many towers with that baby.

The Redeemer - Unreal Tournament series.



/thread.

Agree, especially when you're riding it Strangelove style.

 

[Shotgunbunny]

Snarks from Half Life 1. Beasties that crawl up to you and bite you, and eventually explode.

 

[Rhodite]

The BFG 9000

I'm suprised no ones mentioned the classic "generic exploding red barrel" appearing in nearly every FPS, and chucking the blighters round with the grav gun in H-L2 keeps me entertained ^_^

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

How about Fusion Missles from Metroid Fusion?

Big blast that freezes everything on-screen and has a neat "shwee-shwee-shwee (etc)" sound

 

[Zig13]

Grenade launcher from Unreal 2 - manages to fire fragmentation, EMP, incendiry, smoke, toxic and concusion grenades. And onscure one would be the mines as dropped by the NOD mine drop power in Tiberium Wars

 

[SnowCold]

The sheep in Worms.

No, the old lady is much more epic
or meaby the super aqua sheep?...

 

[axia777]

The Redeemer - Unreal Tournament series.

++++++++++ The Redeemer>Than the Rest

The Redeemer is the h-bomb, literally!

 

[shadow_pirate22]

The Slayer from Perfect Dark on the N64.
My frineds and I spent hours in fly-by-wire mode.

The Redeemer in UT3 was also fun (no offense to UT1+2, I only got UT3)
Nothing says love like being able to get a double kill in a 1v1 match...

 

[TaborMallory]

Pretty much any beam/missile powerup thing from Metroid.

Spoiler: A power missile in action

You see that black hole there? The one that's going to kill the baddies in an unmerciful fashion?
That was created by the dark beam and missiles.

also, spider mines from starcraft
