Underrated weapons/attachments

[Wadders]

I rarely see soldiers use the buff banner - even in large game where it can cause a steamroll. No idea why.

And on that note, the soldier's shotgun is ridiculously good. ou don't see soldiers switch to it often.

I too rarely use the Buff Banner, maybe I should seeing as I have 3 of them ¬_¬

I think people dont use them cos you need to accumulate 600 damage before you can use it, and a lot of people cant stay alive long enough.

I agree about the shotgun though, it's great. Really useful for finishing enemies who you've wounded with the launcher who are trying to run away, or if you run out of rockets a quick blast from the shotty will end the job

<3 the Soldier.

In CoD4 the Skorpion with an Acog Scope. The Skorpion has no recoil through in Stopping power and Deep impact then you have your self a full automatic sniper.

Skorpion + Silencer for me sir. The ACOG scope just ruins my close game, since I bring up iron sights even if they are 3 inches away.

The Needler in all Halo's its amazing USE IT.

Eh, I could never use that gun properly. I know it auto homes, and can take out extra shielding no prob, it's basically an insta kill. But I could never attach the amount of needles before the people killed me first.

For me, the 'attachment' I feel is underrated is the white glint core in Armored core for Answer. not very suited for close range combat,but throw on some extra back thrusters, a high output OB, tune all forward output to max plus my moonlight blades. It all adds up to a very nifty cheap lag teleport slash from halfway across the map. Perfect for jousting matches.
The weapon I feel is most underrated are all the Kojima cannons. Especially the ones that take out an opponents kp. Not great for one on one, but since I play supportive it really saves my teammates on ammo from taking down the enemy PA.(I just make sure my firing stability and aim precision are near maxed.

Well he asked for underrated weapons and attachments. I don't think any SMG with a silencer is underused as that is most common thing I see. Although it is a great combo.

I like the grenade launcher attachments in modern warfare 2, eeryone says they're nooby but they get the kills and the impact kills are funny as hell.

 

[Crimson King]

The SMG in the Halo series. While they are understandably disliked by many a gamer, nothing else throws as much lead, or in as fun a way as the SMG does.

 

[Vianyte]

The Grip in MW2. Very effective for LMGs such as the RPD and AUG. It reduces the recoil to almost nothing. It turns your gun into an automatic sniper, very deadly. I hardly see anyone using it but then again, you don't often come across LMGs. They're excellent weapons but very underrated.

It also happens to form the most overpowered combo in the game.

pistols in nearly every game

noobtube+scavenger

one man army perk

knife + speed + commando + unlimited sprint

those are all flawless skilled strategies

*troll switch off*

underrated...mmm...any sniper game i play people always seem to go with the most powerful sniper there is, anytime i play i go with the weakest one that has great speed with single shots

oh and assisting team mates

its such a lost found of accomplishment among people..

I second this.

Also, flashbangs and smoke grenades. Nothing really throws a wrench in someone's day like a smoke grenade, and flashbangs are just plane fun.

Vector with "Thermal" in MW2

 

[The Arc of Eden]

The Testicle attachment to my penis. It's a deadly combo that no one seems to really appreciate, lol. Sorry, I couldn't think of something relevant but I had to share that with the world.

Have you unlocked akimbo for it?

Yes, i have. combine that with extended mags and you have enough force to take down the entire enemy team by yourself. Hint-hint, wink-wink, nudge-nudge, say no more.

 

[tombman888]

I'm not going to count how many times i've been ninja'd, but i believe the flare gun is very underused. I think its awesome.

 

[Seth Smith]

I liked the Sten in Call of Duty 3

The Auger rifle in Resistance series. It can shoot threw walls. That is all.

 

[Mr. Mike]

The Backburner in TF2, I'd say. It takes a little bit more skill to use properly than the regular flamethrower, and you can't deflect rockets when it needs done, but it's a great weapon as long as you know what you're doing.

I'm going to have to call you out here. The backburner is underrated because it's an inferior weapon. Maybe it was SOMEWHAT viable back in the days where the flamethrower didn't do as much damage and the crits could be useful, but the flamethrower's damage these days is deadly enough. Really, it takes less skill to use overall because you're robbing yourself of the high-skill functionality of the airblast. Even in the niche situations that you'd think the backburner would come out on top, it doesn't.

For instance, the enemy is pushing the cart towards the final point. You sneak up behind them. Sure, you can get some crits, kill them a tiny bit faster. The thing is, it isn't about the kills. Fire and some airblasts will clear the enemies off the cart, stopping it from moving. Your allies don't have the obstruction of the cart when trying to take down your opponents. Plus the normal flamethrower is deadly enough as is.

Sure, it might make you come out on top once or twice, but realistically, it's an inferior weapon, far too niche to be of any practical use.

 

[Omikron009]

Nobody uses the shotgun or smoke attachment in Bad Company 2. Mainly because they're both kind of useless.

The Auger rifle in Resistance series. It can shoot threw walls. That is all.

i love the auger, in resistance two i'd play in the swamp leve u know the one with the bug house in it. id run around with the auger shooting ppl through walls. plus it deals decent dmg.
