[buggy65]

I searched forums and got nothing so this is not a re-make post

What weapons do you feel are the most iconic in all of video game land? This simply is not your favorite (although it could be) this is where you can name a weapon any a casual gamer could tell you where it's from...

Here we go!

2. Fire Flower (Mario)
3. Crowbar (HL)
4. BFG 9000 (Doom)
5. Lancer (Gears of War)
6. Energy Sword (Halo)

9. Buster Sword (FFVII)
10. Boomerang (Zelda)
11. Portal Gun (Portal)
12. Gravity Gun (HL)
13. Keyblade (KH)
14. Wrist Blade (Assassins Creed)
15. Blue Toritise Shell (Mario Kart)

What You Got?

 

[SargentToughie]

RHYNO...

That thing is awesome

but honestly, I'm going to go with a little known tool, known about by a select few people known as a 'lightsaber'

 

[crimson5pheonix]

Shotgun.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I've always been partial to Ristar's special weapon. Which involves grabbing things and slamming them into his face as hard as he can...can't say that isn't badass.

 

[Nalbis]

The Ashbringer...

 

[Supernovajake]

SOCOM from MGS4.
Railgun from....whoever thought of it first.

 

[skakashijutsu]

wristblade from assassin's Creed; I once had a nightmare that Altaiir was after me, and he stabbed me in the back twice with that thing. Then Chuck Norris came and killed him for me, which makes me think that I dream about Chuck Norris a little too much....

What You Got?

Yeesh, you've already listed all the obvious ones!

*ponders* Here's a few more that I think would qualify.

- Buster Gun (Megaman)
- Soul Calibur (Soul Calibur)
- Big round bombs (Bomberman)
- Blades of Chaos (God of War)

Let's add The Buster Sword in there, ever since FFVII people have been overusing oversized weapons in RPGs to the point of it being cliche.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

Gunblade FF8

 

[Altorin]

Masamune - FF7
Chainsaw - Doom
Jumping on People - Mario

Masamune has been around a lot longer then Square has been bastardizing it

 

[Tattaglia]

Masamune - FF7
Chainsaw - Doom
Jumping on People Feet - Mario

BFG 9000 wins in my book. Crowbar comes in at a close second.

 

[Supernovajake]

Sheep from Worms

 

[crimson5pheonix]

Generic magic staff.

 

[LucanDesmond]

SOCOM from MGS4.
Railgun from....whoever thought of it first.

If I remember correctly, and I did play through the game twice, the SOCOM was not in MGS4. It was in MGS though. Just not part 4. He had the Operator as his standard pistol.

 

[AuntyEthel]

Pac-man's power pill.

 

[ZeroMachine]

I'd say the Master Sword and Gravity Gun are the top two, but one that always comes to mind with me is the Z-Saber from the Megaman X and Zero series.

 

[drkPheonix]

Gravity Gun (HalfLife2)
Portal Gun (Portal)
Crowbar (HalfLife2)
Broken Butterfly (RE4)
Deagle (Counter-Strike)
BFG 9000 (Doom)
RailGun (Quake 3)

 

[rekabdarb]

Broken Butterfly, duh
Edited:
it appears that the person above me got to that 1 minute before i did,

i was gonna say as well, Excalibur from any game with swords

The painkiller from painkiller as well...actually all the guns from there

stupid shotgun that shoots freezing bullets >.>
