Raziel

P.S I missed a few out as I could not remember the game name

It's really hard to not notice the whole glowing red thing with the loud activation noise as it turns your blood into an explosive slurry of doom.

General Purpose Weapon:
CYLO Versitile Assault Weapon.

Reason:
Its vicious, brutal, primitive, and just freaking awesome. The only thing that could make it better would be to replace its already kickass bayonet with a chainsaw bayonet. Plus its got the nickname 'Badger.'

I have a few weapons I would like hanging in my display cabinet. Of course, that relies on private guns being legal in the UK of E...

Pistols: Ebony and Ivory from DMC

Shotgun: Double barrelled shotgun from WaW

Sniper: the sniper from S.T.A.L.K.E.R that I can't remember the name of...

Machine gun: My RPD! I worked for twelve hours to get that ACOG scope!

Melée: Ifrit the fire gauntlet from DMC

Grenade: the Sick Grenade from Minority Report that makes people chuck up on the floor

I may have to come back and edit this as I remember more things.

If you want the weapon's name from STALKER take this site
http://stalker.heroesradio.com/Items_Weapons.php

The VSS Vintorez was a personal favorite from that game. Nice silenced death.

I cant believe no ones mentioned this yet:

Lancer Assault Rifle from Gears of War 1/2

ah, but you have never met the people I play with... some of them would not be able to see a brick wall if they were looking at it (really... this really happened once ).


a good gun, but not my fav, I prefer the GoW shotgun... or sheild... or torque bow...

Adam just like realistic weapons most of them are realistic ones ^^

*looks at OCAdam's list*

hmmmm....

Raziel

P.S only teasing!

Haha, I tend to like a 40% mix of unrealistic stuff. However, you just can't say the Cerebral Bore isn't one of the most unique and gore-inducing weapons ever thought of!

Since it's a part of my favs I can't say the contrary
But personally and this is only my personal opinion, unrealistic weapons are the funniest, but this is only a matter of tastes ^^
Some persons like realism and some others like fiction

Let's switch it up a bit... what's your most hated videogame weapons?

Melee: Prod from Worms
Reason: Does little to no damage, barely moves them and is a pester rather than a tool.

Sidearm: Plasma Pistol from Halo
Reason: Weak and incredibly noobish, real men don't use pansy combos, they use gravity hammers!

Shotgun: CAS from ChaosUT 1999
Reason: Weak damage, even in close range.

SMG: 10mm SMG from Fallout 3
Reason: Weak damage, horrible spread, and lame sound.

Assault Rifle: Assault Rifle from Vanilla UT2004
Reason: HORRIBLY WEAK, INACCURATE, AND THE ALT FIRE IS FAIL.

Machine Gun: Minigun from Vanilla UT2004
Reason: It sounds like shit, and it doesn't have the fast firing alt fire... fail.

Sniper Rifle: Sniper Rifle from Vanilla UT2004
Reason: It has horrendous issues with headshots, I aim for the head and I get no reward when I kill the enemy... bullshit.

Explosive: Rocket Launcher from Gunreal
Reason: Inaccurate and doesn't have a cool explosion like BW...

Energy: Mesmetron from Fallout 3
Reason: It barely functions, even as a taser it still does nothing at all.

Super: The Destroyer from Gunreal
Reason: Inaccurate and it takes up the whole screen like a selfish hog.

Grenades: Cyro Grenades from Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta
Reason: Weak damage and it only freezes them, not killing them on sight.

Original: Nevan from Devil May Cry 3
Reason: It's only for show, it barely functions as a weapon for me.

Sounds good, my most hated:

Melee: Wrench from TF2
Reason: Way too overpowered, can kill pretty much anyone in 1 to 2 hits.

Sidearm: Plasma Pistol
Reason: Same reason as SX, weak, and noobish, but i think real men use Battle Rifles!

Shotgun: Mauler from Halo
Reason: Again, over powered. One shot, and an instant melee time make it one of the best Cqb guns, and i never get it!

SMG: Snipers smg from TF2
Reason: One word, pitiful.

Assault Rifle: UT2004 Assault Rifle
Reason: I actually didnt mind the model for it, but its weak and fail at shooting.

Machine Gun: The machinegun thing from Gow 2
Reason:Actaully not bad, but incredibly slow speed mean your pretty much a walking meat shield.

Sniper Rifle: Halo Beam Rifle
Reason: Again, not to bad of a gun (But im not exactly a terrible shot) But the aiming reticule leaves a bit to be desired.

Explosive: Rocket Launcher from Halo
Reason: Noobish, only good in the hands of a veteran, not when noobs run straight for it, just so they can get a few kills.

Energy: Not sure.
Reason:

Super: BFG9000
Reason: A good singleplayer weapon, but is whored when played in DM.

Grenades: Assault Rifle Grenades from UT2004
Reason: Again, pitiful.

Whoa. You can not just tell me that the Plasma Pistol is not only weak, but noobish?!, then follow up with saying the Hammer is for real men.

First off, the Plasma Pistol is not weak, second off, how is it noobish? Isn't that like a contradiction in terms anyways? Third off, what combo? I blast the shit out of people with just one of them.

By the way, the melee weapons in Halo are quite noobish. Sword a bit more so than the hammer. Still fun to use every now and then though.

Will agree with deadly_game with the Mauler being overpowered though. :p

Hee hee... I always grab it. :p

Essentially its the same as the shotgun (aka, human's melee weapon, falling in with the same noobish qualities), only a lot easier to get.

Noobish as in the Plasma Pistol/Battle Rifle Combo, A full charged shot from a plasma pistol drops shields, then the battle rifle just slaughters them without any chance for recovery. That's why it's noobish.

Ah. Never heard of that combo. But... that takes a bit of skill, coordinating the two weapons, and due to the nature of the Plasma Pistol, to land a hit on someone you have to be pretty close by.

Hammer or sword on the other hand has a lock on feature and a certain amount of range to them, and one shot by either kills, without needing to switch weapons. Plus there's plenty of places in most Halo maps to hide so that you can pop out when most inconvient for the clueless passerby. :p

Heck, the sniper rifle should definitely fit as noobish by those standards, all you need to do is land one decent shot or two lousy shots on someone from any distance to bag yourself a frag.
