Post your most hated weapon (from any game)


Mine is the carbonite gun from MOTS. It's an interesting idea, but its poorly executed, IMO. In SP, the carbonite gun is nearly useless (you have to shoot for awhile to freeze an enemy, and in the meantime he is emptying his blaster into your chest or gutting you with his saber). Also, since when does carbonite thaw on its own?

This gun is the scourge of MOTS multiplayer maps, IMO. terrible, just terrible. you only have to fire at another player just a few times to freeze them, and then you have a chance to get a one-hit kill. The other player never even has a chance to rfight back after being frozen, and is completely helpless. With any of the other guns or the saber, you at least have a chance to kill the other player before he can frag you, but not so here. It's not fair, its a really cheap way to get a frag, and its not balanced.

The recon droid in SW: Battlefront. I mean I like the weapon itself, but it just needs way more power. A starship in space bombarding a spot on the planet should bring instant death to any vehicle. Instead it does about 1/8th damage to an AT-AT and maybe 1/4 damage to an AT-ST. And thats if you can get the ship to fire while the vehicle is at a standstill.

A second weapon would be the Mines in SW:Battlefront. If Friendly fire is off in this game, people will run into a crowded room of enemies and just start dropping mines, killing everyone while they themself remain unharmed. I mean if they are gonna kamikaze, then at least make them die doing it.

And 3rd is the plasma SMG from HL2. I mean come on, its like "Oh yay, a slightly more powerful version of the SMG, with a secondary fire that shoots in a straight line while offering no spread if you miss by a little."

OK one more. The turret gun in SW: Battlefront. The one where you are just stading in it, your head is a wide open target, and also immoviable, while your weapon has a low rate of fire and shoots slow moving projectiles, making it almost impossible to hit a moving target from medium to long range.

I was always quite fond of the Carbonite Gun in MotS. I'm one of those cheap bastards that would run around using it 24/7, and then whacking people on the head with it to get the kill. It adds a comedic element to the game, IMO. My clanmates and I have had a blast with it.

The weapon that I dislike the most is the BFG in Quake II. It was outlawed in any respectable league or tournament, for obvious reasons. If only JK would have had a console system as powerful as Q2's...

I always liked the carbonite gun. I still remember playing MotS online shortly after getting it. I don't remember the name of the level, but it was really well done, the one where it's like Jabba's place or something, very varied architecture, dark, lots of nooks and crannies, places to hide...anyway, you could hide with the carbonite gun in a dark place and pop out and get someone, or get them in the narrow, cramped staircase...it was fun. Can't remember anything else like it. Ah, nostalgia...

As for the gun I can't stand...well, there is probably more than one (any of the worthless guns in JO, compared to the guns in JK), but especially the rocket launcher in JO. Good grief, you can almost run faster than the "rockets" it shoots, and the ammo count is pitiful. And the seeking mode requires holding the lock on the target for so long that it's rarely possible to use it unless the target is still. Just give me a conc.

Duke's freezing gun was a lot better.

mohaa:s stg 44 - coz its got a ludicrus fire rate when all the other weapons are eaither correct fire rates or slower than correct

or the airstrikes on enemy territory ive seen ppl finish with 300% accuracy using these they really suck

That just means you weren't very good at JO, my stats were essentially equal amounts of kills with ALL weapons except for the DEMP and Saber (which I got hardly any kills with). You just have to be half-decent at tracking an opponent and you can lock on easily. You can actually outrun a lot of the projectiles in JO though, you are supposed to be a Jedi.

The Klobb

now that is a useless weapon

Awp.

Awp.

No way, that thing was HILLARIOUS!

You could get duel Klobb's and make the baddies DANCE LIKE CRAZY!!!!

Good times with the Klobb, me and my friend would play with only the Klobb and just shoot the crap out of each other.

I ****ing hate that gun.

The Klobb?

lightsaber

from goldeneye for the 64. stupid bluish gun with the uzi-like rods going along the top.

[edit]yeah or like what shintock just posted[/edit]

I believe it was one of the weapons in Goldeneye for the N64.

edit: Damn you cazor! beat me to it :p

Awp still takes some skill to use. Autosniper is much worse!


Also, I hate all the JO and JA weapons save the lightsaber and stormtrooper rifle.

AWP

I have to agree about the carbonite gun, I hated that thing with a flaming passion.

I also hated the machine guns from MOH:AA. Give me a Thompson and a M-1 any day.

The Snooper Rifle from RTCW.

What's wrong with the Klobb?

Everything.

It's a gravel flinger. Sure, dual Klobbs were nice, 40 rounds and Uzi speed, but when used alone they were pitiful at best. Slow rate of fire, low magazine capacity, and low damage ratio.

The DEMP was a pretty useless weapon, too. It just shot balls of electricity that barely did any damage. Any blaster was better than the demp b/c you had to shoot 2 or 3 times to take down an enemy, but the demp was about a 6-hit kill.

Come to think of it, the whole gun system in JO/JA was messed up. Shots just didn't register on far-away targets sometimes, and this is with surgical-accurate weapons like the bryar or blastech.

I feel like the only person ever that has never had any problem with the guns in JO or JA...

You're talking rubbish Page. Bryar was my weapon of choice for long-distance cheeky kills.

really? about 50% of the time, shots would not register with any of the guns (except explosive weapons like the conc, missle launcher, etc. ) It was worse in JO than in JA, from my experience.

B/c of this, I was forced to become very proficient with the saber, which was much improved in JA.

I think you just sucked.

Here you go Page,

I played JO with this guy regularly.

I would have to say the DN bolt caster in SW: Battlefront (the gun that shoots multiple arcs of electricity, carried by the Clone pilot). The thing does NO damage whatsoever, meaning that if you get in a firefight, you are pretty much condemned to die. It also has a slow reload time, and is stupidly inaccuarate.

O_o

I hate the pilot gun for the clones Battlefront. It just seems hard to kill people with.

Exactly.

I would assume they would give pilots bad guns so they would focus more on air combat than ground assault no?

The repeaters from Republic Commandos. Man those things are the most useless weapons I've ever used. It takes like 2 clips to kill someone, and the gun can only hold 3.

The DEMP2 was very useful (at least in JO) for the open pit like Nar levels, because it easily blasted people off into the nothingness for an easy kill. I loved that thing.

NC Jackhammer Shotgun from PlanetSide; man that thing is annoying in close-range. It favors the laggy and does too much damage even on a partial hit.

M4 from Counter-Strike.

Rail Detonator secondary from JK/MotS. It's like a slap in the face with a delayed kick to the crotch for good measure; why can't they just blow me up right away?

Personally, I loved the Klobb. I thought the external model for it sucked but enjoyed the internal model. My favorite was pairing up a Klobb and an AK so I'd have minor zooming-in capability to see how crazy those bullets are going. Also, in Perfect Dark, if you get the GoldenEye guns and use one of those slow motion drugs, you'll notice the Klobb fires every time you pull the trigger, so in slow motion you can fire extremely fast.
