Crowbar in Half Life 2...

Just kidding folks
While I am a serious HL2 fan, I can see a good argument to be made for no more crowbars.

the grenade launcher (XM38 i think) in MGS4... Really, who used this when the M4 has everything you ever need?

Let's all admit it: the only reason anybody has ever used the SMG in Half-Life 2 is because they're out of ammo for the Combine Standard Issue.
what do you expect when your only allowed to carry ninety fuxing bullets for it. i'd have traded in all my grenades for an extra amount of bullets... never used those things.
and actually the smg was pretty good, but i agree with the person who joked "crowbar" because no one uses it for anything else than breaking boxes, and once you get the G-gun, most people just use that.

the plasma pistol in halo because u see it but almost never use it
I never use any Covenant weapons - they're all flashing lights and silly noises. I want to kill things with my weaponry not feel like I'm attending an illegal rave.

I'll save the covenant weapons until I'm drinking alone and want to pretend I'm in a disco, until then give me human weaponry any day...
Beam rifle pl0x?
Beam rifle wasnt bad at killing, I just dont like the way it 'felt' if that makes any sense. Something about alien weaponry just doesn't do it for me.

all weapons should have stayed in the games.
If everything's awesome, then nothing's awesome.
Remember that.

I have an oppostie to youre thread. I pick Lightsabers from SW:KOTOR.
The only bad thing about Star Wars Games are most of them have balls of plots.
Lightsabers need to be put in Halo or CoD Zombie Mode like the Raygun.
When I said 'weapons', I didn't mean 'guns only'. Nailboards, swords, melee objects, all object where you can attack with can be noted here.

And I must say; Yes, lightsabers are awesome to c, but not very practical in the gameplay of the future with laser-guns everywhere.

Technically an item and not a weapon, but screw you topic police.

The Thermal Googles in MGS3. It really needed to either stay out of the game or be modified to work realistically. The problem with the Thermal Googles in this particular game is that it's overpowered like crazy. It renders nearly every other item obsolete and removes all challenge in the game.

In the jungle terrain against camoflaged enemies, the thermal googles makes every enemy stick out like a sore thumb. In the same way, it makes you able to see the invisible boss (what a waste) and the sniper boss.

My biggest problem with it: The googles lets you see traps. Like, a string attached to a crushing boulder or a hole of spikes covered by leaves. Why the fuck does a freaking hole in the ground have a heat signal? That's retarded! The rest I can forgive, but that's so completely illogical.

The M4 was a jack-of-all-trades. Plus, once I played through once, I alternated between shotgun, a supressed sniper and good pistols. All you need at the touch of the R2 button.

Well I can't take your preference away from you, and yes, it makes sense for a weapon to just not roll the way you want it to.

Carbine really works for me, but only when I can pull of a headshot >_<

I forgot about the carbine... it's pretty useful, does the job at least but I'd still pick a human weapon over it. You and I are like the odd couple, I expect we'll get our on cable TV show soon enough.

Thermovision on James Bond: Everything or Nothing did this, too. Lights gave off almost no heat, fire gave off very little(wtf) and enemies lit up. Really broken, but you could only use them practicly in the dark because they obscured your vision in the light.

weapon's which should have stayed out of a game.

LOL the klobb gave us many a laugh. got to be the weakest machine gun in any game. even the semi-auto bb gun in fallout 3 could dominate it.

nailboard? all the mele weapons in fallout 3 sucked ass. chinese sword was kind of cool. but bare hand fighting was way more lethal than any mele weapon.

the MOAR in crysis. its kind of cool but its so out of place. its comparative to a like a unreal tournament or doom weapon in a game of BF2 or CSS. it freezes people/vechicles which can be shattered or shoots shards of ice like a minigun.

I actually disagree that it was "pretty good." It's so inaccurate that it's only really effective from the same range as the shotgun, which only takes one or two shells to kill a Combine trooper as opposed to the SMG's ten or twelve bullets. I like it for killing manhacks and not much else, and the gravity gun is a better choice even for that instance.

I would really love a new weapon in Episode 3. In my mind, the biggest weakness of this series is the overall pedestrian-ness of the arsenal (with a few exceptions).
