Best in-game weapon of all time?
« on: March 02, 2008, 11:49:58 PM »
So what do you think is the all-time best and/or most-fun weapon ever conceived of in a video game before?

In terms of the most fun weapon ever, there is no question in my mind that has to be the "Lancer" assault rifle with a *chainsaw* on it from Gears of War.  Nothing better than having the "melee" option of sawing your enemy in half straight down the middle.  It never gets boring  :evil:

The old-school answer to most damaging weapon would be the spell "tiltowait" in the Wizardry series. That did ~100 hit points of damage to each character in your gorup.  That was big back in those early days.

I'm sure lots of you have an opinion on this topic...

To be honest I'm happy with the pistol from Halo 1 :D.

But in all seriousness, I would have to say... the Golden Gun from Golden Eye 007 on Nintendo 64. Classic.

The Pandora from Devil May Cry 4. It looks like a slightly demonic suitcase, ut turns into a gatling gun, a tribarrel bazooka, a RPG firing bow gun, a three bladed glaive, a Laser, and a flying missile turret. Talk about fun!

I have a few favourites:

- The sniper rifle used by CMT (On Halo CE maps, such as Snow Grove)

- The Kamikaze button from the Worms games.

- And the good old Melee button!    d_b

I prefer the "Ming Vase"...(killing your enemies with expensive china, now THATS fun! :P)

But seriously, the gravity gun of "Half Life"! Because slinging random and sometimes severing/explosive objects at your foes never gets tiring! :)

Ah, nothing like killing an oppressive enemy police drone dude with a toliet. It never gets old!

I go with Sandoz.
Even though I haven't played Half Life before, but that just sounds great.

Halo related weapon, I would choose the pistol FTW!!!

F.E.A.R. related weapon, nail gun.
Nothing better to do on FEAR, but nailing those guys to the wall/ceiling.

I would have to say Weaponization from the Incredible Hulk: Ultimate destruction, because A.) You're the Hulk, and he's pretty much a living weapon that can yell at you, and B.) Weaponization allows you to pretty much use anything in your environment as a weapon.  Like for a burger restraunt, you can destroy the sign and grab the big hamburger on it, and then use said hamburger as a bowling ball to strike out your enemies!  Can anyone say "hulk-size me?" :P  Oh, and you can turn a car into steel boxing gloves, use lamp posts as spears, catch missiles and throw them right back at the guy who shot them, even use your enemies as weapons!  And my personal favorite, the shield maneuver where you crush big trucks and buses into nice big shields that you grind on like a skate board to cause mass chaos and you can throw the sheild at enemies like a boomerang and it'll come right back to you so you can bash them in the face again!  Ah, hulk's incredible power sure is satisfying sometimes...

Ok, I have two  better ones, but from Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner. The first is the mini-missiles. Your Orbital Frame raises it's hand high a a row of missiles appear behind you like wings, the frame then lowers it's hand and they streak foreward like the hand of destruction itself and clear every enemy off the screen practically.

The second is the Vector Cannon, and frankly, this needs to be seen to believed.

Sadly the player didn't rotate the veiw so you could see everything that was being built, but still...

The Hulk's weaponization mode sounds fun! I gotta look around for that game just for that.

Well, the best in-game weapon of all time for me is the one that allows me to dance gracefully through a sea of blaster-wielding stormtroopers while blithely bouncing their shots back at them and slicing off major body parts.


Of course: The lightsaber from Jedi Knight II:



Don't flex on me fool! I is a Jedi, I has a lightsaber and I WILL cut you!!!

Here's mine:


Megaman's MegaBuster.  Semi-automatic, no reload time, no dead battery, superfast speeds, can supercharge into a devastating attack, compatible with busters from enemies, (not to mention very annoying while playing against my lil sis), and you don't have to worry about it being knocked out of your hands!

Whoops, wrong photo!  Let me show Megaman in a different way (He actually has hair!!!):

(How does he fit all that hair into his helmet though?  Hmm....)

You blame me?  Remember it had to get past 10 other players before I saw the ball.

Thanks to Spidey for this sig!                                                                                                                  .
