Most Obnoxious Weapon in a Game

[Brown Cap]

What do you feel is the most in your face, cocky, (not necesarily overpowered) almost ridiculously ego-trippin' weapon you've ever come acrossed in a game?

Not limited to guns*

 

[Shock and Awe]

Duke Nukem's Mighty Boot

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

Spoiler: Postal 2's rotting cow head (18+)

 

[Brown Cap]

40mms, now that i think about it

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

The Holy Mackeral in TF2.

Just look at it.

It's a fish that you smack people with.

 

[smearyllama]

The Mauser and Hi-Power from Red Dead. They're fine if you get them in PvP, since they're pretty hard to find, which makes them balanced, and they're fine for Gang Hideouts, since you're fighting random mooks, but heaven forbid, if you unleash those while just running around in free-play shooting folks...

They're just so senselessly overpowered.

 

[nomzy]

An AC130 in broad daylight.

 

[No_Remainders]

... Any sword which is bigger than the person wielding it.

There goes almost every sword from almost every J-RPG

 

[StellarViking]

I was playing Champions: Return to Arms for PS2 a few years ago and I found a weapon called "Soup's Bane". It was a spoon. It was seriously the greatest weapon I have ever owned in any game ever.

 

[The Apothecarry]

Gnasher shotgun in Gears of War 2. It's not that it's OP, but that everybody starts with one...and a Lancer...and a Snub...

 

[Jim Stacey]

I feel obligated to mention Doom's BFG...

 

[teh_Canape]

if I had to pick one

off the top of my head I'm taking the WarHammer from Turok: Rage Wars

think about it, it's a rocket powered/propelled battle mace

that you use to smash aliens and dinosaurs heads

other than that, Batman's fists

from Batman on the NES to the gloriously satisfying fists+boots from Arkham Asylum

wait wait wait

I have another one

the BATTERY-POWERED DREAMCAST+KEYBOARD FROM TYPING OF THE DEAD

think about it, you're typing zombies to death, and it is awesome

 

[Dancingman]

The Huntsman from TF2, it's been broken for a while now, it's basically a legal aimbot.

Also the Shortstop, hopefully that's in for a nerf soon.

 

[NoCure]

The Holy Mackeral in TF2.

Just look at it.

I got 7 people in a row with that once. The Rage...it was delicious

Wow, if we use one of the unique kitchen knife weapons from Fallout 3, too, as well as the Fork of Horripilation from The Elder Scrolls, we can create the ultimate battle silverware kit.

Together, we will rule the galaxy, as Knife and Fork!

I'll be spoon, you can have your pick of Knife or Fork, and then we'll need a third person so we can be some sort of Warfare Silverware Triumvirate.

It must be done.

I'll go with fork, since I'm the big Morrowind fanboy.

There may be a better knife somewhere...
Would the knife from Resident Evil work?

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

There are two that spring to mind:

In the Soldier of Fortune games, by game design and play style, the shotgun was the only weapon you ever needed. Since the Ghoul engine allowed for limb based damage, a quick two shots at knee level (achieved by crouch walking) were enough to kill you.


The AT420 Sentinel from James Bond: The World is Not Enough (N64). A four barreled rocket launcher. You could either guide single missiles around the map and stick them straight up a player's arse or launch all four barrels in a made suicide attack.

As long as it's small enough to hold in one hand, yes.

Also, Matrix be damned, there is indeed a spoon.

If I can't pick one that's already been mentioned (hint, it's the one in the first response) I'll probably go with the slappers in Goldeneye 007 on the N64, when used in multiplayer. Especially if you weren't using 'Slappers Only' mode.

Kill someone with those slappy hands, they get PISSED OFF.
