Worst vehicles in gaming

The Mako was the best vehicle ever. I loved that thing. Now the Hammerhead. That thing needs to be rebuilt with all new blueprints.
I liked the Mako and the Hammerhead.
Mongoose and the HL2 vehicles are pretty terrible yes.
I'll nominate the Drakes from World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King: The Oculus & Malygos. Oh the rage those fights generated on the WoW forums, oh the grief. I personally didn't think they were ~all~ that bad, but a lot of people thought they were the absolute worst.

Strange that no-one has said it by now. Sail boats from Just Cause 2. It's slower than swimming for god's sake! When you get into one of those and you're far from land then you're pretty much screwed. Better to use a grappling hook parachute combo and try to get into another watercraft.
Also watercrafts tend to be generally crappy in all games.

It warms my heart to see so much Mako love in this thread. I really feared it would be the least popular. I loved that thing. I still consider Bioware's decision to scrap it altogether instead of fine-tuning it to be unforgiveable.
I also liked the Mongoose. Ok, it didn't have a gun, but it was hilarious to zip around honking during deathmatches.
I'm going for the helicopter in Flight Simulator 98. I gave it a shot, tried to take off, and two seconds later it was on its head.

The Helicopter from Earth Defence Force. All of the vehicles in that game had handling problems but the chopper was the worst.
I think I have to nominate a vehicle from a rather new game, Wargames: European Escalation.
It's an "upgrade" to an anti-air gun jeep, which is ok, but really nothing special in itself, for the price it costs.
Its name? The Strop 1
Let's go through it's failures!
-It can only go, in optimal conditions 200km on a single tank of gas. It may sound like a lot, but you have to divide it by 5 to get the actual performance. It is in fact the vehicle with the least autonomy in the game, all that with a rather large fuel tank, 500L, which is enormous for such a small and cheap vehicle.
It's not even very fast.
-Its armed with an inaccurate anti-air 30mm auto-cannon. It doesn't have enough range to hit helicopters using missiles or rockets. Even if it manages to get in range, it fires too slowly, and takes too long to start hitting the target before it either leaves, or destroy the strop 1.
-Its price is appalling: 40. With that kind of money, you can buy a much more efficient missile launching, faster vehicle with twice the range.
-Its armor? 1 in the front of the vehicle, 0 everywhere else. Infantry can hurt it by using only rifles.
-Its health pool? Barely more than an armed (armed, not armored) truck, for two and a half the price.
The worse part of this vehicle? Its successor is truly amazing. For 25% more money, you can get much more speed, 3 times more autonomy, an accurate missile launcher, a more accurate main gun, more hp.
If you see one of these vehicles on the battlefield, you know your opponent so so desperate/incompetent, you can win just by having a single infantryman walk up to his units and kill them using only a rolled up newspaper.

The boats in Battlefield 2 & 3. Most of the time all they do is make you a bigger target.
Blackhawks in BF2. Getting into the air in one instantly attracts seven billion (Actual number may vary) tv missiles to your location.

i remember the vehicles in Jak 3 where resoundingly rubbish.
But to be honest, it seems 80% of helicopters ever seen i na game get shot down, with at least 70% of those going into a tailspin before crashing/exploding/explocrashing.

Back in the Desert Combat mod for 1942, helicopters were made of awesome. No hand holding; they was tough as balls to fly, but they were maneuverable, fast, and deadly against ground targets.Slayer_2 said:

THANK YOU! I was about to post that. Stupid bouncing. And flipping. And don't even get me started on trying to go up ramps...
O RLY SIR? (Sorry)Cpu46 said:
This is Halo right? Then I believe that the forklift would like to have a word with you... of course I guess you could say that it doesn't really count as a "Useful" vehicle that's bad per say, more like a "Joke" vehicle that's intentionally bad.
On another note I want to stretch the meaning of "vehicle" a bit my definition of vehicle is any mode of transportation that is ride-able. I would have to say that the worst "vehicle" I have ever used in any game would be the koopa shell from Super Mario 64 (again stretch). Considering the game doesn't give you a lot of opportunities to practice with it and the fact that it has very slippery controls and multiply that by the fact that it moves forward on its own PLUS crashing into ONE thing will throw you off it's pretty crazy (and again... its a stretch)
Edit:
If you want to talk about turning don't hate on the Slick Star (It's my favorite). It can take corners nicely and get a full boost as well if you plan the turn ahead of time. You should be yelling at the Formula Star though that thing can turn 5deg. left or right in about 10 minutes (minimum). Also why would you want to STOP in a racing game?Lugbzurg said:
I would probably say any horse in any game ever
assassin's creed gets a special mention as being particularly crap

Don't knock the slick star, you just probably haven't gotten over the learning curve. Though I agree that's irrelevant because it offers no benefits another star wouldn't, thus no reason to use it at all. The bulk star is far worse though.Lugbzurg said:
God yes. How many times have I been looking for a good fast vehicle, only to be confronted by a string of tuk-tuks slowly trundling my way.Racecarlock said:
Also, the chariot in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. Always crashing because a wheel nicked a wall. *sigh*
