For me it's definitely the flashlight. I own a 6 D cell Maglite, and as a real life weapon you can actually kill someone with one. But in Doom 3 it's near useless. I'm sure there are a lot of skilled players out there who have gone through most of the game using just the flashlight, though...

In the beginning there was nothing. There'll be nothing in the end...

Unreal Tournament 1's Impact Hammer. Practically useless in a fast-paced FPS with miniguns and lots of explosives.

The double enforcers in UT3. Far inferior to the double enforcers in UT1 (which were amazing)

Best gun is the trench shotgun in Medal of Honor Airborne. Worst? I'd have to say any default starting pistol from any shooter. 99% of them suck.

Really? So you didn't liked the "yellow" snowballs in the South Park Shooter for the PS1 and N64?

The worst weapon for me was... well, I have no clue, there are many weapons that aren't that good, but I can't decide.

The Shotgun in Carnivores: Cityscape. It had an awful spread and such crappy firepower that you basically never hit anything. The default pistol that has infinite ammo in the game was better!

They were white but if you hit a certain button you pee on them.

And the worst weapon I've ever used would be the shotgun from Halo 2. It shoots about 3 inches and does no damage. Or the battle rifle in Halo. I hate that gun so much it just ruins the game for me. You can kill someone with 4 shots to the head but it takes like 8 million if you don't. It's stupid the Halo 1 pistol was so much cooler.

Shut up. The AWP requires less skill and is not a hardcore weapon. The Scout is more of a hardcore weapon. I got a no-scoped headshot with the Scout my first time using it. No hacks, nothing.

You like a gun because you were lucky the first time you used it? Sounds to me like a pretty nooby gun if you managed to get a headshot unscoped on your first time using it.

I'm not making any point at all. Just saying that the Scout requires more skill than the AWP.

The worst weapon evar: stupid bloody bio rifle. Here is a genuine quote from Liandri's tournament

Quote: "
Man with flak cannon: IR PWN j0000
Man with bio gun: I have a gun filled with fairy liquid, prepare to be sylvester stallownd
Man with flak cannon: ka-blam
Man with bio gun: *deth*

I consider this transcript to be conclusive proof that the bio rifle sucks and that the flak cannon rules!

Oh lol. I cannot believe you couldn't take a simple joke.

Quote: "The AWP requires less skill and is not a hardcore weapon. The Scout is more of a hardcore weapon. I got a no-scoped headshot with the Scout my first time using it. No hacks, nothing."

So you determine that the scout is much better to use because you got a No-scope headshot by luck? Nice analogy mate.

I get that all the time.

I was playing with my team on a scrim with this other team that we're pretty crap, it was the third round - Our team was playing Terrorist as one of the guys on the other team had a problem playing as a T first(He was odd, seriously odd). They atleast one round - it was our team's fault they got that round, one of the backups on our team never played on DD2 in a scrim and decided to rush B. When we went middle to A via cat. Anyways, enough fluff now.

It happened at cat. Some stupid CT decided to jump down and try and spray me down starting from legs going up(To stop me from moving then finishing me off with a head-shot). Whilst he was in midair I simply aimed for his feet with a scout and pulled the trigger - Head-shot, obviously, or else what point would there be to this story? Anyways, they decided to have 3 mid whilst 2 at A, they clearly managed to know what our tactics for the first 3 rounds where.

Now, the fact that was pretty lucky, dare I say worthy of being called hacking, it's still a legit move, now I ain't actually agreeing that the AWP is crappier than the scout, therefore the AWP is a weapon that does pack alot of damage, but the true skill in using the AWP comes from speed, reaction, and also clutching(Basic plan: Rotate sites, just anything to make sure that the enemy do not expect you to be where they are - AKA stealth).

Also AWP shots often have a problem with registering, believe it or not, some people don't know this, but it's true, and a easy way to overcome this is to "Aim before the player", simple actually, but it's quite hard to remember, even I forget it.

If there is one thing I hate, and get tired of the mostin a scrim, it has to be.

"omg wtf there is no reg in this server my crosshair was rite on his head WTFBBQOMFG THIS BLOWZ."

Also there's some commands that help too:



Scout however, often doesn't have this problem. I can just aim my crosshair onto a fella's head and make it follow it all day, infact between the transition of aiming and shooting, I can make myself a cuppa tea in that time and still not worry.

The scout is more accurate and sadly less powerful than it's counter-part; the AWP.

TBH, you've never really used an AWP for atleast 12 hours have you? I can recall you even admitting that you've hardly used it over steam during a few pubs in Xtremist2's Vanilla server.

Actually, come to think of it, that weapon was useless, I only went rambo 25 times and only 17 were successful.

Best Weapon: CoDMW/CoDWAW Knife. I love running straight at people while they are shooting at me and knife them and still be alive. People get so mad about it to.

Worst Weapon: The TMP(Stock) from Resident Evil 4. It only takes about an entire clip to kill an enemy if its not upgraded.

The I-Mod from Star Trek: Elite Force II. In the first game, it looked different (more Starfleet than Borg; it's meant to be a hybrid, not one or the other!) and was so powerful it launched enemies eight feet into the air on death. In Elite Force II the hand phaser has a higher DPS.

I concur. The klobb was horrible! I also think that the molerat 'stick' in fallout 3 sucked on anything other than the molerats. It even kind of sucked against them too!

Yes that was pretty insulting to me. I never said I sucked with it, I was stating that it sucked and if I had another weapon at hand, I would most likely not use the crowbar. Apparently you are the 'noob' here if you're attempting to insult somebody who you've never even seen play/seen period.

I love using any sniper with an acog scope on that map, you can get some serious pickings with it.

Such as a 4 for 1. (Yes, I did actually get a 4 for 1 shot on Bog, ON a X360).

The wrench in Bioshock was pretty funny to use but it was not a very powerful weapon compared to the rest of the weaponry in the game.

I'm not sure what the most useless weapon in any FPS is but the Bunny rocket luncher from Shadow Warrior was the weirdest weapon I've ever used.

LOL Dukenukem 3d for pc, you could select your foot as a weapon and do really high kicks..but the tab button or some button near it would kick with the left leg without having to change your guns, but i used to select the kick weapon and use the left kick at the same time, both legs would fly in the air as if he was doing some russian dance, Kung-fu Master Duke.

If i had to choose my worst would be the Battle Rifle in Battlefront 2, Its just so weak compared to the other weapons.
