Chairs! There are so many chairs lying around everywhere in games yet none where you can pick them up and slam over an enemies head, even though it could be very staggering!
Weapons too seldomly used

Okay, first of all, whips are terrible weapons. It's fun to play around with them in games on occasion, but they're just not good weapons in reality. I'm sure there are people out there they could kill me a dozen ways before I could blink with a whip, but honestly you could say the same thing about ladders, or tablecloths, or a pretty much anything really, so don't give me any examples of some crazy person being all badass with a whip. They're still lousy weapons.
As for what I think is underrepresented, this is gonna sound odd, but really I think it's spears. Sure in a fantasy game where you have a party one of the members might randomly switch between a bunch of highly specialized pole-arms and just call them all spears, and occasionally in a game were there are a bunch of weapon options one of them will be spears. That doesn't actually happen much though. It's just odd that one of the simplest, cheapest, most common, and most effective weapons ever created by man, a weapon that was probably the most used killing device from the day a primitive man first showed his buddies how to sharpen a stick into an awesome weapon right up until reliable firearms made melee weapons mostly obsolete, a weapon that anyone that knew how to fight prior to modern times had to know how to use, probably the most common weapon in human history is just relegated to minor side weapon frequently confused with overly elaborate specialty weapons. It's odd.

[HEADING=1]SPEARS we need more spears they are awesome look great and have good combat variety[/HEADING]
That needed to be said I love spears they can come in different shapes sizes especially when it come to blade:staff proportion with the long basically handle it can easily be used in many ways in combat as well as having lots of out of combat uses and can easily be made into back scratchers.

I perfectly agree with you my good sir.ZephrC said:
Oh, I remember my dragon hally in runescape. Well, not technically mine, but I got it for the person on their account.Akiada said:The Spear.
There's a reason it has been the primary weapon (in varied formats) of humanity since forever - a shortspear (and other variants) make awesome individual combat weapons, and long variants make amazing mass-combat ones.
It's just so... silly that whenever you play a fantasy game it's rare to get a chance to use spear and rarely are they useful or good in any fashion.
Damn straight! Look at it:FortheLegion said:
It's like a spear, axe and pick got all glued together. It is made of STAB, CHOP, and PIERCE.
Cross Fire, it is an online first person shooter and you can replace your melee weapon with... A SHOVELAjimboB said:
There are a ridiculous amount of people suggesting Japanese weapons and all that, the Japanese may have invented a lot of weapons but most of them...well most of them are crap. All those Japanese weapons often require extreme amounts of animating and (in real life) skill to use and wield them correctly when you often only end up doing the same amount of physical damage someone with a broad sword could do easily.

And what exactly is the use of that? If an enemy just ran up to you with a knife you would be fucked. I think in games they should use the human brain, example talking your way out of a fight, out smarting your opponent, but no it always must end in *bang* *stab* *BOOM*maninahat said:
You do actually hit people with it. Each of those 20 chains has a heavy weight attached, that'll deal damage to anyone who gets too near. Many Sikh weapons and techniques were specifically designed to create no-go areas around the martial artists in fights. Many of their techniques involves spinning weapons very fast in a 360 degree area around the body, discouraging people from "running up to them with a knife" in the first place.Dimensional Vortex said:
