Weapons who should've stayed out of a game

[Segadroid]

We all have one game in possesion with weapons who are shitty to use, not fun, take too long to reload or are totally useless in gameplay. Which weapon (Guns, swords, etc.) should've bin taken out of any game you own?

the daemonhammer in Dawn of War: Soulstorm. simply because it looks like shit. i would rather have my captain a small column or something.

Flamethrowers in CoD WAW not in the campain but its plain cheap in multiplayer

i belive the bolt ction rifle in RE4 was useless as you didnt need to really snipe before the castle and couldve just waited for the semi-auto rifle.

The pistol in halo 3 is pretty much hated because it's a pea shooter.

 

[Zydrate]

Nailboards in Fallout 3 come to mind.

 

[teisjm]

Any weapon on WoW which is 2 times larger than it should be (which means most of them)

 

[gobblecoque]

The flare gun in Turok 2.

 

[Barry93]

From R2: Bellock-too shitty, Pulse Cannon-too powerful

 

[llewgriff]

RPD in COD 4, what an annoying gun

 

[open trap]

the plasma pistol in halo because u see it but almost never use it

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

You know, weapons scale with Tauren, right? They're not big, they're just bigger[/url].

Well the Nailboards are okay in my opinion because the idea seems to be for the bad guys to use them on you (and it fits the games atmosphere). They are usable by you as part of the entire "you can use anything your enemies do" motif, but generally speaking there is little reason why you ever would since there is pretty much always going to be something better than that or say a "pool cue".

The unique Naiboard/Pool Cue was probably added for the sake of completeness/to be cool.

I honestly can't think of many weapons off the top of my head that should have been omitted in any games I've played. All of them have had some general purpose, even if it was to help fill out enemies sylistically.

I guess if I had to pick something, I would say that grenades are pointless in a lot of the games they appear in. They usually wind up being generally too difficult to use with any real effectiveness, or ridiculously situational. In the situations where they would be useful I'm typically not going to think of them because of my overdependance on other weapons.

I say this with the full understanding that in some games they are useful in multiplayer for those who want to master the fiddly little things while other guys are chasing girls (to sort of quote Yahtzee) but in general I think they are the biggest weapon I could do without in gaming in general.

Can be, but in multiplayer it's good for some nice headshots when double-wielded.

Arctic Warfare Super Magnum

Commonly referred to as the AWP.
The opposite problem to most 'shouldn't be in the game' guns, whoever put that in should strung from a lamp post by their testicles...

All i know is that even female gnome casters seem to be physically stronger than any human beeing ever will be

I would remove the sticky bomb gun from Turok, too many times have I been killed by stepping on explosive sprinkles hidden in tall grass.

 

[Missilemesser]

the portal gun because it so cool it make your head explode

 

[Ben Legend]

Crowbar in Half Life 2...

Just kidding folks
