What Do You Think Was The Best Weapon in Shooter History?

[snow wolf]

The redeemer

 

[lolmynamewastaken]

type 7 partical weapon from F.E.A.R. or the 10mmHV penatrator from the same game. failing that, the omniwrench from ratchet and clank

 

[Spacelord]

The autoshotgun from Left 4 Dead is the alpha and omega of brutal zombie murder.

It's always funny to see kids say Halo & Half Life guns are the all time best....

The DOOM Shotgun was the first all-around versatile weapon... there was no job that it was not suited for..... Only the Double-Barreled Shotgun of DOOM II could retire it. CLICK-CLACK-BOOM.

Disagreements = You were not around for the the DOOM days.

I was aiming for more specific guns, the shotgun is a general weapon thats in many many games.

I am being specific.... The DOOM Shotgun. In terms of the game's design... it was the all-around, most badass weapon that was always useful no matter the situation. I'm NOT saying ANY FPS shotgun, many of then suck.

Either way, you are correct, shotguns do rock, Doom rocks harder than most as well.

The Fat Man in Fallout 3. I felt so awesome using it that i would yell out "TAKE THAT!"

if you like the fat man then you'll love my favorite the MARV shoots 8 mini nukes at once

Unless your cheating you dont really have that many to spare.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the cerebral bore.
or the BFG 9000.
I'm fifteen and I know of the win it is comprised of.
oh, never mind.
missed that post.
WELL I AGREE WITH HIM.

To quote Yahtzee's review of Painkiller "I wish I could make something like that up - It's a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning. It could only be more awesome if it had tits and was on fire."
Truly a great weapon.

Fix'd.

The BFG 9000. Plasma death!

Any massive revolver with a sound and power appropriate to it's sheer awesomeness. And provided that it's done well: Colt 1911s. The revolvers in games is usually balls though and doesn't pack as much punch as you'd want.

~player.additem 20799 9999 for 9999 mini nukes, love the explosion from 8 mini nukes going off at once.

Vincent's Cerberus, original DOOM's BFG9000

 

[Leftnt Sharpe]

The Flak Cannon from Unreal Tournament.

 

[Mindblow]

Time to break out the obscure weapons, can't decide which one I would have in a game

Darkwatch- I swear to god some of the best bloody weapons ever! Quad barrel shotguns with the equivalents of axe heads grafted onto the handles were friggin sweet.

Garry's Mod- Thousands of sweet SWEPS keep the game interesting. The real catch from the game would have to be the Rocket Propelled Chainsaws and the One Two Punch SWEP

Turok (Original N64)- What the hell happened to time traveling Indian!? Anyway, the best weapon from this game would have to be the staff, no idea what it was called but it acted like a death ray combined with a force explosion, pure awesome with Inf Ammo turned on.

Turok 2 onwards- The Shredder, shotgun that fires bouncing ray pellets

Timesplitters 2- Grenade launcher, flaming and frag grenades, good times.

 

[JesterOfPuppets]

My personal favorite video game gun is the Plasma Autofire from the Timesplitters series. Just feels and fires like it should.

Also worth a mention are Lincoln's Repeater from Fallout 3, the Force Gun from Dead Space, and the Mini Chainsaw from Dead Rising.

 

[rated pg]

The Redeemer.

 

[ranasan]

Tesla cannon
that's all you need... unless the enemy is too close because then you get caught in the blast

 

[irishstormtrooper]

The Lazer Cat!

Spoiler

 

[ShadowKatt]

I like the crossbow from HL2. What's better than killing your enemys in one shot? Killing them in one shot AND pinning their corpse to the wall as a warning to others.

And there's a gun in FEAR that does the same thing, but I forget what it is. Love that gun.

 

[Smack-Ferret]

The dark matter gravity gun, or the pulse rifle from half life 2. Nothing better then denigrating matter with it's secondary fire.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Fucking. Laptop. Gun.

What other weapon can you throw away and it still constantly kills people??

 

[DiemWolf]

I remember playing Doom years ago and getting a patch that gave me a Chicken Launcher. But other than that it would have to be a Chainsaw from any game that had one.
