I dont think weve had this thread before but thought it might be a good bit of fun...

So nice and easy, just tell us what was your favourite weapon in a game and why it was. Be great if you can embed a Youtube vid to illustrate it too :)

As a Quake-head mine has to be the rail-gun, though its hard to decide if the Q2 or Q3 version was better (lets ignore Q4). Q2 version looked better when firing, but I just loved the sad graphical changes you could do in Q3 once we got to PR1.2x - it just was the perfect weapon for me, and I loved doing rocket to rail shots...

Many an enjoyable 'Holy ****' moment has happened because of the rail gun :D. Ahh how I miss Q3DM17 1v1 rail only...

Video has swearing

Hard to find a Q3 video thats not ruined by poor music :(

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
I really liked the rail driver from Red Faction. Could see through walls and really *** people off.

:Edit: I also adore the Flak Cannon from UT, just for the sheer body mangling power it had.

:Edit2: Instagib shock rifles in UT aswell, awesome instant death.

I didnt say best weapon, I said favourite ;). And as good as the BFG is, it was never a favourite (didnt get to use it enough :p)

I love the UT2004 Shock Rifle + UT3 Flak, but I think the big cannon thing in FEAR has to be up there. Can't remember what it was called though, it was instant hit, had a big clip, and explosive shells with a cool effect when exploding :D
 
Quantum Torpedos from STBC :D.
Flak gun in all UT games is great too.
The H10v penetrator or something from fear is a nice one too, the one that pins people to the wall.
Rocket launcher in GTA IV always raises a smile.
Banana bomb and Holy hand grenade from worms2/world party/armageddon are nice to see/hear, and the mad cows too.
Fat man from Fallout 3 :D which launches mini nukes.
 
cant beat the feel of the ak in the original cs, used right you could 1 shot ppl from distance with ease.

ps - the deagle was always an awesome pistol, better than a lot of rifle/subs to use.
 
Urk how could I forge the Deagle!

And from FEAR I liked the 10mm Penetrator, loved sticking people to walls :D
 
I've always enjoyed the rocket launchers in UT 2004.

I've not really got a favourite weapon though, probably because I don't play FPS/online FPS enough.

I quite like the M4A1 in CSS as well :)
 
The m4 carbine with grenade launcher in cod4, or the barret .50 sniper rifle in the earlier novalogic delta force games, great for 1500m kills.:D
 
The sniper rifle in Farcry (PC) is extremely satisfying if you have the bass on. A piercing *BANG* with reverberating echoes and a sharp rumble from the bass that accompanies it. I've yet to fire a more satisfying weapon in a game.

I quite like the rocket launcher in the Halo series too - the slow speed of the rockets (except for Halo 2 where they were SAMs) added to the feeling of power.
 
q2 rail, a total artform.

Standing good favour, tribes spinfuser, the original mp5 from cs, battlefield 2's SA-80, teamfortress's shotgun/emp engi combo.
