Favourite TYPE of weapon in FPS?

[RobCoxxy]

(And if you find a camping sniper, please, kill him in the most insulting way possible. Balance a grenade on his stupid head. Pull out the worst weapon in the game and explicitly type out "Behind you, dipshit" before you kill him. Make these stupid people stop their ways and start playing like honorable men.)

You want humiliating wanker-sniper ownage? :3 You've come to the right guy.
Battlefield 2 - Operation Clean Sweep. My team - pinned down to one spawn - the Abandoned Village, possibly the shittest spawn to be penned in by three gunships, two tanks, an APC constant bombing raids from all jets available, where every other enemy not in a vehicle was a sniper. With no vehicles.
Anyway. The snipers were in two groups of six, on two hills overlooking the spawn, and were kicking the shit out of us - the MEC - with M24's, L96a1's and M95's.
I spawned as SpecOps, using G36c (love that gun, plus, have not unlocked SCAR), an with my lone squadmate, we ran out the back of the spawn, along a dirt road - very visible to anyone paying the least bit of attention. Unfortunately for my squaddie, he took a shell to the side of the head, falling at my feet. I dived behind a tree, hoping nobody saw me. After a minute, I continue running along the road, right next to the sniper-covered hill. I ran straight towards their base - but instead of capping - the "neutral" state would have ended with me being attacked by AH-1Z's and half of the snipers - I walked casually up behind the snipers. I stood there a good couple of minutes, teabagging them (much to the delight of speccing dead teammates) and walking over them, before pulling out my C4 and casually dropping one C4 onto each of the snipers (although not enough for six, but he was close enough - and they did not notice my presence).

Anyway, I then made my way back to a small bush a few metres away, crouching in it, I gave the heads up to my team to watch the snipers.
And pressed the button.

After a second's delay, Six snipers flew off the hill, several metres into the air, scattering over the battlefield. The voice communications for my team were filled with laughter, and the dead snipers accused me of hacking.

After waiting for them to respawn, check the hill, and get back into position, I ran back up the hill, and stabbed them all in the back, before being blown to kingdom come by a TV-guided missile.

Good times.

just to be a little different, i like LMG's, little better than assualt rifles, fully automatic and smite better at range.
espicially relatively accurate LMG's hipfires (gripped ones w/ steady aim in CoD4 are best example

 

[Joshimodo]

Some kind of precision rifle (not a sniper), or a shotgun.

You win, sir.

I have many a quality BF2 story, usually involving unusual circumstances as an Engineer, or flying a plane.

 

[Federalist92]

The Assault Rifle with underslung grenade launcher.
Easy for assaulting (duh!) millions of enemys at once. And then if your clip runs out and you have to reload you can always quickly fire a grenade to subdue the enemy.
Theres nothing more satisfying than charging up a hill, mowing down enemys with fully automatic on and then launching a grenade through the outpost at the top's window.
It all runs so smoothly and is so effective.

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

The P33 pistol from BF2142 (That thing is way overpowered)
The Axtinguisher and Ubersaw from TF2
The R700 from COD4
and the Gravity gun frim HL2.

 

[Slinkus]

Melee weapons, nothing is more satifying to me than throwing a smoke and a flash grenade into a room in css, running in with a knife and slaughtering everyone in there before they know wtf is going on XD.

 

[yankeefan19]

Assault rifles, I find them to be the most all around effective weapon

Most of my funniest tend to involve C4 :/

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Rocket launchers, preferably the type that fire more than one or two shots before reloading like the ones you have in Unreal Tournament, Team Fortress and Quake series.

They're always fun to paints the room an interesting new colour called 'hint of brain'. I use them for all ranges except in really cramped areas. I especially love them to go sniperhunting.

 

[Deadpewl]

Grenades. Theres nothing like watching a guy run around a corner to safety, chucking a grenade, and watching his body go flying.
Its actually a toss up between that and shotguns. Shottys are awesome.

 

[Ironic]

I like annoying people with sniper rifles, preferably as they're about to kill my team-mate, or sneakily stabbing them

EDIT: But by far my favourite is setting up an elaborate ambush, or a simple one.

*shoot at them a little* -- *run away* -- *Place LOTS of remote/proximity trip mines* -- *wait for lured player to run into kill area* -- *reveal self* -- *blow them up as they try to shoot* --

Sniper Rifle - hands down

only on PC mind, on console i'm naf with the controls so any automatic so i can spray bullets everywhere and hope some hit.

 

[Cap'n Haddock]

The greatest weapon of all is the mind...!


No, seriously, the greatest weapon actually is a weapon of mind, namely "Force Grip" in the Jedi Knight series, especially in multiplayer games. Grab that gun-toting enemy, watch him squirm, throw him down into the ravine/chute/lava. Or just wait form him to die in your grip.

Fabulous.

yes.
actually force lightning was also badass, but sadly useless in multiplayer.

give me a Quake 3/UT/Team Fortress style rocket launcher and I'm good (I generally avoided Halo, HL2 and Fallout 3's rocket launchers, why shouldn't you be able to rocket jump?!?)

 

[OneBig Man]

Somthing with spreadshot, perferably pump-action. And it has to be a great short range weapon.
