Your awesome weapon idea

[Use_Imagination_here]

Lets imagine a hypothetical situation where you're in a game development team making a shooter, and your asked to come up with the most crazy awesome weapon you can think of. What is it?

For me it's a ray that makes roots nail the enemy on the groud right before a tree grows through their chest. Or possibly a shotgun that you can shoot shells full of your dead enemys ashes with. Can't decide.

 

[Lilani]

A gun that shoots ice and a tractor beam, so that it freezes and sucks in your enemy's blood and uses the frozen blood as more bullets for the gun. Problem, CSI?

 

[Sandernista]

A giant revolver the size of a cannon.

Inside the massive bullets are zombies that will gnaw on your enemies' brains!

- Remotely controlled satellite laser.
Imagine big, f*king, roaring pillar of pure light slicing everything on its road, instantly turning enemies into atomic particles. Roasted atomic particles i mean.

- Deevolutionizer.
Gun shooting bullets that rapidly change target into organical Tetsuo-like blob upon impact.

- Particle disruptor.
When hit, target's atomic bonds cease to be. Pufffffff, it disappears, but here's the catch - it works on small area, let's say ball with 20-30 radius. Great for sniper rifle. Headshot = brainwipe.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

A box.

Containing this guy...


Isn't he adorable.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

I would make one up, but I can't think of anything else at this point

 

[Vampire cat]

IDK, but I've always thought that if they wanted to make COD intersting again you should be able to call in a Bear Mortarstrike. A mortarstrike, but with bears. So your enemies get mawled. I'd buy MW3 if it had that...

 

[Mordekaien]

A silenced grenade.... a giant explosion.... without a sound! Brilliant!

Well, this isn't my own idea, but one of the best weapons I've ever seen was the Topsy Turvy Bomb from Armed & Dangerous. Essentially, you'd screw a device into the ground and it would flip the world upside down. All the enemies onscreen would fall down (or up, depending on your perspective) into the sky, and then come crashing back down when the world righted itself. Also from Armed & Dangerous: the Land Shark Gun. Self-explanatory.

Also not entirely my own idea, but something I'd actually like to see used in a modern shooter is some kind of swap-teleportation device. If you shoot an enemy with the device, you physically swap places with the enemy.

Singularity actually had a power that worked like this. They weren't a blob, more like a weird mutant zombie thing, but it was fun to use on one enemy in a group then watch it freak out and tear his comrades apart.

I'd like to see a gun similar to the Warp Spider Deathspinner from Warhammer 40k. Shoots a whole bunch of microfilament wire and then spins and lashes them super quickly to tear enemies apart.

That, or a gun that shoots out shuriken like a shotgun. Tons of them. That bounce when they hit a surface. Imagine looking into a room, seeing a bunch of badguys, then just blasting the room full of shots and watch them go to work like a blender.

There was a shuriken machine gun in Painkiller.

 

[SilverHammerMan]

You take a pump action shotgun, right? Then you tape a large caliber handgun to the pump handle.
BOOM: You've got yourself a Double-Gun.

This!

Yeah, and it was cool, but its not really what I was thinking about. I was thinking more along the lines of a shotgun+bouncing rounds primarily for the chaos that would ensue when firing it in an enclosed space.

 

[tologna]

A Gamma Rifle. It'd basically fry enemies from the inside, and it could pierce several targets.

 

[Substitute Troll]

A spike gun. Imagine the Brute Spiker from Halo 3, combined with the railway rifle from Fallout 3. give it an aestethically pleasing look, and you've got an awesome weapon.

My idead is less for a gun but an acessory, how about a vest that is a speed loader for double barrel sawed off shotguns. You unlead both barrles pull down near your shoulders where the ammo is and your reloaded, and the vest is spring loaded so each side carries a good amount of ammo.

My other idea is a type of gravity force for a giant sword. Take a ff7 busster sword type of weaon and add some type of gravity thing to it so that its weight can be changed. With the flip of a switch a 200lb sword is the weight of a dagger, then back on weight comes back. imagine if someone did a downword swing when it was light then right before impact turned it to heavy.

I get it - you're talking about something similar to this shard launching gun from Unreal franchise, right ? Then why don't pair it with little, tiny fireballs ? Everything's better when in flames !

Grats, you invented a flamethrower ;P

Ummm, i don't see any similarity between my particle disruptor and a flamethrower. (Checking). Nope, still none.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

A Deus-Ex style robot arm that can transform into several different weapons so you never have to worry about not having what you need.
