Your favorite starter weapon?

[EBHughsThe1st]

Charmander.

 

[Edavies696]

lancer...just yeah

 

[MiracleOfSound]

The starting SMG in F.E.A.R. 2 served me well right till the end of the game.

Really? I tossed it as soon as I got the Assault Rifle. It seemed fairly useless in my opinion.

I think I just enjoyed the feel of it more than anything. It didn't have the armour piercing the AR had but it was good against the mutants and normal soldiers.

It had a cool reload animation too.

 

[afaceforradio]

Katana L4D2. That thing is like a lawnmower in anyone's hands.

 

[Kajt]

Spoiler: The Pyro's standard flamethrower. Because it can deflect most projectiles.

 

[Cru31ty]

The disc from Tron 2.0 Yeah, sure you got other weapons through the course of the game, but none were anywhere near as cool as the disc.

 

[Eponet]

Spoiler: Rebellion, easily.

Oh yeah.

One up you there for the original, the Force Edge. Weak at first, but fun to use, and became an absolute tank of a sword.

Personally, I prefered the Red Queen to either of those (Ex Act/Max Act are cool). Too bad it's not a starter weapon.

 

[Highbrow]

The shovel in Quake and the assault rifle in Brute Force.

Also in the first Condemned you get a .45 and a fire axe pretty early on. Though I suppose the taser (and the MIGHTY FOOT!) first off, on a technicality.

EDIT TO ADD: Pistol in Deus Ex, especially when scoped later on. Sniper pistol, muhfugga.

 

[Xeros]

Gotta go with the Air Taser from Syphon Filter. Near infinite range, and set people on fire from the inside.

 

[Rewold]

Buster swooord! I never want to change it even though I get a better weapon.

 

[majormajor]

Yes, You can get tracer rounds, blanks, and SRTA (Short range training ammo used in exercises.)

 

[majormajor]

M4A1 with Red dot sight, Full metal jacket rounds, Tac-Light, and Tactical Grip.

Can you even get non FMJ rounds for an M4?

I prefer pistols.

Yes you can get Tracers, blanks, Dummy rounds, and SRTA rounds (Short range Training Ammunition used in exercises.)

 

[Cody211282]

Squirtle, best starter ever!

But if I had to pick a weapon that wasn't alive I would go with the pistol on Halo:CE because it's just about the best weapon in the game as well.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Poot up feests, tiny baby man.

Fists - Oblivion.
Knife/9MM pistol - Killing Floor.
Throwing knife - XIII

 

[gally912]

Plasma Cutter from Dead Space, by a long shot.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

The lancer from gears of war.
Its has a freakin Chainsaw bayonet!!

This

 

[CINN4M0N]

A red Crowbar.
And no not from half life, but from Deus Ex.
You know the rules, now someone here will have to re-install it.

But there's a baton on the same dock as the crowbar which inflicts more damage whilst occupying less space in your inventory!

I would say the sniper rifle from Deus Ex. Once I leveled up my rifling skills a little and attached a few accuracy enhancers to her, she was my baby for life. Barely used anything else in the game.

 

[Druyn]

I tie between the crowbar, and even though i hate the game, The drill from Bioshock too. It was just incredibly satisying for me to plow through people with that thing. Only issue was the incredibly limited fuel.

 

[Niracas]

Brutal Legend gave you two weapons right at the start: the ax and Clementine. Clementine is probably my favorite starting weapon of all time EVER. You use it through the whole game, unlocking new solos, new special moves, new guitar strings...plus it electrocutes people.

Definetly that, or Chaoseater from Darksiders. Loved that sword.

 

[Luftwaffles]

Crowbar of course.
