Worst weapon add-on ever....

[dududf]

So you're talking about gears of war then? While it is impractical it is very fun to use and especially gory.

While yes, Gears of War was what I was originally thinking. But that said I was talking about generally speaking about a chainsaw on a gun. In any game it'd be impractical.

Also I did mention that it looked really cool. Just so damn impractical that I might as well try sniping with a Mac 10 in one hand with my eyes close on full auto while I'm on Jeopardy while I'm at it.

The 700 different types of weapon/armor mods in Mass Effect, when almost all of them except the ones that either added to shields (armor) or poisoned/burned/irradiated (ammo) or cooled down the weapon were nearly useless.

The laser sight in L4D2.
Does it actually do anything or am I missing the point somewhere?

Look at your cross hairs as you JUST put on the laser sight. It shrinks by about half a centre metre. It also doesn't expand so much with Assault rifles and snipers when moving.

I'm assuming you're a shotgun user because it doesn't really do anything for shotguns.

Aside from being able to see where everyone's aiming, it doesn't help too much with a shotgun. It does have that advantage.

Ahh I didn't think of that, and it's so true as well. Some times when you're fighting the tank it's satisfying to see 4 dots on the tank.

thermal vision takes the cake simply because it removes the skill needed in sniping

Snow. Map.

By this you mean to point out that it isnt actually thermal imaging? the way that snow is white, and your enemies are white? They were quite slack here just making the environment black and white then white sillhouttes for people, its places like afghan that should make thermals useless, not siberia. I can hit people across the map just as easily with my holographic site anyway. not that I'm perfect at that but I frequently out-snipe my enemie snipers with an assault rifle, presently the Scar-H, with FMJ and holo. oh yeah. FAL works well too

"blinging" out your weapons in army of two.

It's used for something called aggro if you have actually played the game.

I have played the game and I still think it is a bad add on...

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

The shotgun attachment in MW2, because you need to use the noobtube to get it.

What about the trip wires? I used those to kill an insane amount of Big Daddies.

They're okay, but it's just stupid that in order to justify a tripwire weapon that they had to come up with so many other superfluous ammo types, and frankly I never got the hang of using tripwires apart from just firing them directly into enemies.

rifle scopes in Rainbow Six Vegas 2... when mounted on shotguns.

The only reason one would take them is for lols

 

[Pyode]

The single shot under-barrel shotgun in Army of Two. If you look at it it, the mag should easily be able to hold 4 or 5 shells but apparently it only holds one so you have to reload after every shot.

Absolutely useless.

ACOG scope for MW2. It sucks compared to Cod4's.

Dear lord it doesnt only suck but its pure crap. Try sniping with that thing for the thermal scope....took me ages and i used the bolt rifle too. And my ps3 broke so i gotta re EARN it all again.... but this is for another thread.

Neither did I until I left my game on the menu and saw that trailer...thing I guess.
I love making a Big Daddy dash into trip wires and then get a face full of electric shotgun rounds at the end.

No you don't, it's all saved on IW servers.

THANK GOD. I was seriously crying earlier when i found out it broke all my hard work down the drain. again for another thread but thanks for the info.

Probably the high-explosive rounds in Mass Effect.

Every round over heats, why when my pistol never overheats and is way too over-powered already?

 

[jokr2thief]

Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII. You know, It was entertaining for the first map, but after that the wheels fell off it, and I decided it would be a great deal more fun to just play the Desert Combat or Galactic Conquest mods.

While it was never really a finished product, GC was one of my favorite BF1942 mods because flying the X-Wings and Tie Fighters was hella fun.

 

[Woodsey]

Either the black dot sight in COD WAW because for some reason wwII iron sights are just so good or red dot sight add-ons in Rainbow Six Vegas 1 or 2, they just seem pointless to use since you can take cover in third person.

Black Dot...?
You mean Apeture sights right? Atleast use the right name.

Oh I'm so sorry the aperturter sightz, you could at least correct me without being condescending.

He's always like that.

OT: The flashlight in Crysis - I already have nightvision, and the light gives away my position. It does, however, make an exceptionally pretty sight at night time.

 

[Kollega]

I really dislike the uprgrades for the Revolver in Bioshock solely because of the damage to the aesthetic appeal. I mean I like the look of the revolver, charming and elegant but now with an extra roll of bullets forced onto one side it just looks like it's sprouting a deformed tumor.
Not really for me, the rest of the upgrades are okay though.

Damage booster was okay, but auto-loader clip... bleugh. Disgusting.

 

[T-Bone24]

The "tactical attachment" in Crysis. It makes your enemies fall asleep to be woken up by other enemies later. It's useless, and you have live ammo anyway. Why use it?
