You can't kill someone from the other side of a level by shooting their food with a suppressed pistol, can you now? Did you even know you can taint a target's food and drinks with the syringe, or are you the 'go in all guns blazing' type who never thought of that?
It doesn't go around. You aim at the guy, the rocket goes at the guy. Why do so many people hate half-life?
For me, I dunno. Probably absolutely everything from Metroid Prime 3 or Ratchet and Clank (3 onwards)

The mortar launcher in Worms Armageddon (And probably all other Worms games). Incredibly hard to hit with due to its automatically firing at full power, and it's damge only comes from the five smaller bombs it ejects when it lands, and they spread out so much that it's unlikely you'll hit much with it.
I'm looking at you, UT2k4 Bio-rifle.
Now that's said, I can't stand most "Uzi" style weapons. Infact, anything with rapid-fire (Barring the Ut2k4 Minigun, and Quake 4's Nail Gun. Homing nails. Best weapon ever?) I don't like. Why? It eats through bullets at unholy speeds, and it takes a good half-clip to kill a single guy. Yes, all the enemies use them. That's why they're dead, and I'm standing here with a pistol having shot them all through the face, nicking whatever pistol ammo they DID drop.
So yes. Anything that fires sludge, or highly inaccurate bullets swarms. I like to hit people, not do a stormtrooper impression and trace the baddies outlines on the wall.

Most melee weapons aren't properly implemented in either first or third-person shooters. Problem with hit detection, cruddy damage, and just generally being horrible are some of the most common problems I've found.
In fact, all melee weapons in a multiplayer-focused FPS should probably be one-hit or two-hit kills.
And as far as third-person shooter go, they just don't tend to be worth using unless the game is something like Hitman: Blood Money, where not every enemy has to be killed and they won't attack you on sight.

I used to be incredibly good with the Worms mortar. It's got a unique trajectory that doesn't match any other weapon, so some targets that you can't hit with grenades or missiles can be reached with the mortar as it catches the wind so well.
That there.N-Sef said:
In my opinion the worst weapons I've ever seen in a game are:
1. The bubble gun from Earthworm Jim (it was funny but ultimately pointless)
2. The wrench/stone/head etc. from Splatterhouse (granted, it was often a one-hit kill but so was your fist and pretty much every other weapon in the game, the extra range didn't strike me as a good enough reason to drop my cleaver of doom)
3. The spear gun from Cold Fear (you can lure enemies to a specific spot now! Not so handy when you remember that you're on a ship fighting in narrow hallways in the dark against enemies who will often ignore your bait and attack you anyway).
