Most OP attack/ability in a console game

[Naked_Snake]

I'd have to say the Holy Water item from Devil May Cry was by far the most overpowered thing I've ever encountered in a game...But I want Esc to comment on my ponderings! Tell me the most OP Attack, Item or Ability you've ever found in a console game.

Bombers in RUSE. If you are going to make a unit that powerful PLEASE make it cost more to make. I'm sick of every online match being an air raid made of 100,000,000,000,000 bombers.

Hands down, no contest, the Tactical Nuke from Modern Warfare 2.

Whoever came up with that damn thing deserves to have their toes sucked on by Oompa Loompas until Activision actually releases a patch that balances the game.

 

[Spectre4802]

The knife/throwing knife in Modern Warfare 2. I understand that it's balanced somewhat by the fact that it's a melee weapon, but my god; one hit and your dead. And the throwing knife is both fast and an insta-kill too.

Sort of unoriginal to ***** about the throwing/knife, but there it is.

 

[Free Thinker]

Soul Calibur 4...CERVANTES!!!!!
If there were ever a poorly balanced character, it'd be him and his undead pirate teleporting and slamming his swords into your skull and you can't do a thing.

I hear Rogues in vanilla WoW. I can't say though, so I'll say Paladins in WoTLK. They should die, but they bubble and get another life. On top of that, it takes like 3+ people to take one down. What the fuck is that?

 

[Hiphophippo]

Final Fantasy Tactics: Thunder God Cid. He's basically like an entire second party. I'd call it broken but given his name and the respect he gets in game I suspect it was intentional.

That. Just gives campers and easier way to win, and was one of the many reasons why I didn't buy it.

THE most powerful would be the BFG2000.....nuff said
something that might be able to contend with it is the aoe(area of effect) attacks in prototype.

Not as OP as you might think. One warrior with Shattering Throw and a rogue with Wound poison, and your average Paladin is royally screwed.

but half of the fun is to take them out when they are 4 kills away

Bet it was even more fun using the javelin glitch to get them when they were 1 kill away...

Does the Sol Katti mean anything to anyone?

Its only one of the most powerful weapons in Fire Emblem.

Also the Tiger Fist.

That's funny because a mage will absolutely wreck a Paladin's shit, as will a warrior or a half-decent rogue. The warrior's bleed effects stick, which make our healing -shit-, and with the mage.. Lemme just detail this for you.

1. Paladin engages mage
2. Mage Frost Novas
3. Paladin Hand of Freedoms.
4. Mage Spellsteals
5. Mage uses Ice Bolt, and freezes Paladin in place
6. ????
7. Paladin's dead.

1 shot knife/melee kills in FPS games its unblockable, instant, and just way to overpowered in a game where the basic idea is to point and shoot things.

 

[akakiba]

Final fantasy 8 zells Limit Breaks. combine this with meltdown and the junction system, what makes caracters rearly overpowed.
can do 5000 dammage per hit and 9999 on criticals (think thats the limit of the dammage).
with the max 12 seconds to put in attacks. the shortest i am caple of is 0.2 seconds (0.1 is supposte to be possible) . i think 60 hits, min of 3000000 dammage. and you can do it every turn. beat the hardest boss with 5 hits of this.

The save feature. Think about it, you can negate all of your failure with no consequences.

Hand of Freedoming a Nova I wouldn't recommend, but lets say you did and i wanted to spell steal it. Spell steal randomly steals from you, so you have to do it multiple times in order to HOPEFULLY get HoF. Not only is that a crapload of mana wasted in order to potentially get it, but that entire time your having to run away from the paladin, or even having to use blink. Paladins, when I last played with was 4months ago, were the most ez mode OP classes in the game.

Also, what the hell is Ice Bolt? Lol

I always thought that the anti-air was sufficient in taking out those bombers, bombers are fairly expensive and it takes a while to get a good number of them up. Then again, a lot of these online matches seem to be determined by air superiority more than anything else.

OT: Melee attacks in current shooters, for some reason, being knifed or hit in the toe will kill ya.
