What is the Least Noob-y Weapon?

[The Hitman]

There are weapons that are obviously nooby (nukes, noobtubing etc.), meaning that they take little or no skill to kill with. However, what is the weapon that is most effective in the hands or a skilled player?

I was thinking some sniper rifles and knifing in some games takes skill. Answers for hard to use kits, vehicles and any other gadgets in gaming will also be appreciated.

Alot of shotguns in video games are incredibly underpowered and make them very difficult to use (in multiplayer), I would consider them un-nooby.

 

[NeonZombie]

Prod on worms this "weapon" is made for REAL men

 

[hopeneverdies]

Rail Gun in Quake 3 Arena because you could be shooting at someone with it for like 10 secs and in that time they would have rocket launchered you to death 5 times over

 

[RetiarySword]

Your fist.

The choppers and to some extend planes in BF2, it's really hard to use, but when used by skileld players they can dominate the map.

The halo 1 pistol can 1 or 2 hit a player if used skilfully, otherwise it just fails

 

[Stegofreak]

The Auger in Resistance: Fall of Man. Sure it can shoot through walls but its rate of fire made it crap for 1-on-1 confrontation. Skilled players can still tear you apart with it though.

Pity they increased the rate of fire for Resistance 2; it's much easier to use.

Aircrafts in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and probably Battlefield 2 (didn't play)

Any sniper rifle.

Smoker in L4D. I hate playing them, if there's no Tank or Boomer with me.

Agreed.

 

[necromanzer52]

The sniper or battle rifle in halo.

 

[Jindrak]

Knife/Crowbar/Melee Weapon.

 

[CosmicGrenade]

A knife in most games

 

[Yudas]

Shock rifle in Unreal Tournament 4. I allways got amazed of those gamers that were able to kill me everythime with that gun. Maybe I was just jealous because I ran around with a flak cannon all the time.

 

[Nukey]

smoker in L4D most players will simply just pull some one a short distance get a hit in and die one second later, however the skilled players will stalk the players and pull someone into an area where they cant be helped

 

[lonny2x4x5]

Your fist.

agreed

 

[GammaZord]

I second the Battle Rifle from halo 2 and 3. With skill it's arguably the most effective gum in the game. But it's useless in the hands of a "noob."

 

[NotAPie]

The knife in Counter Strike
Pistols in Halo
Revolver in some other game.

I picked the knife because I really like steath and I get the most kills doing it steathy.

Pistols in halo because if you know what your doing you can be a sneaky little basterd with it.

Revolver because its like a sniper only without the scope, and its a really good weapon.

 

[Zhalath]

No weapon at all, if possible. Otherwise, any knife.
