i was suprised when i didnt see the bio-rifle from the Unreal Tournament games. That gun was only good if you were behind your enemy and if he wasnt moving. I though a gun that shot radioactive waste would be decent too.

in ut2k4, the biorifle is decent if you use it right

Actually, I've found it to be a very effective terror weapon in MP. At least against my friends it is. See, if you know where a person is, but you can't pin down their EXACT location, it's often helpful to shake them up a bit. Get them scared into thinking danger is closing in on them so they move. You don't need to cause damage, the explosions rattle them up. And since you can use it as a mortar... hell... I've used it to flush people out of the rocks on Coagulation and then snipe them.

Sometimes the a weapon is best used for something OTHER than damage.

And yeah, in SP... it's the next best thing to the sword. I pick it up ALOT and hold onto it even when it's empty just for the melee attack.

Yup, and it's unlimited melee unlike that crappy SP sword ><
I got 6 kills in a row once with the melee on it in a MP lockout game. It was awsome.

You must just suck with it. Sure, it's close range...but it does great damage.

If you know how, you can take it across a loading zone in SP and have it come out with an unlimited charge. Tends to be usefull...

I kinda like it when the charge depletes when I'm in the middle of a fight, then I just start beating people down with the handle. I think that's funny as hell.

I used to hate the M60 in BF:V before it was patched. It was infuriating for the first three months, typically ending up on the NVA/VC team (I always join the team with less players). Sometimes almost everyone'd switch, and it'd be 20 vs. 8, and most of the 20'd be unsurprisingly using the M60+LAWs kit.

Sure it was rewarding managing to spawn and not getting gunned down the first minute to find a good spot and picking off a half-dozen LAW-ites with an bolt-action rifle. Or better yet, getting your hands on one of the kits yourself from a corpse and turning it against the overconfident masses, seeing how they like it, not sparing anyone at all or playing fair at all.

Similarly, but not nearly to the same extent, I'm usually not that impressed by being killed by someone with a PpSH in COD. I never use it for that reason. MP_Harbour and most other CQB Eastern Front maps in TDM mode were just stupid, until COD:UO and the deployable LMG's + Semi-Auto's came along. Heh-heh. Like fish in a barrel in the narrow approaches.

Being ELF'd and then killed in T1 or T2 was annoying, but you had to be impressed with someone who manages to wield it that effectively.

I found that awful farsight

Another weapon I've never found a use for is the knife in Deus Ex. Also, I never really used the sawed-off shotgun at all. Even before you get captured by UNATCO when you get the assult shotgun, I never used it.

Ditto for the Klobb

The pathetic little zorch pistol from Chex Quest.

Are you kidding? That gun rocked. Shooting people through walls from across the level owns. :p

I always got a deep satisfaction out of running up and just launching 5 gallons of radioactive sludge right into their face... not while they were sitting still either, but while they were looking at me, strafing trying to hit me with a rocket launcher or something.

As long as we're talking about UT guns though... the Ripper often pissed me off as I often decapitated myself with it...

The farsight rocks, yay for through-the-wall kills

The fact that people can use it makes it bad? And the fact that a good portion of a team is using a certain rifle is bad? I call that resourcefull. I also call it weak when you're too stupid to figure a way out of that situation. Snipers are only proficient at far ranges when one can see. A good flash, followed by a 3 or 4 man rush with AKs or M4s is enough to take out the best sniping team. If you don't have teamwork, you can kiss your chances goodbye, though.

JediKirby

Most people don't understand that, because they'd rather be all GUNG HO I GOT THE HIGHEST SCORE LOLLERSKATES.

Not really. I've seen a lot of players use sniper rifles rush and take out half the enemy team. And flashbangs hardly ever work against someone that knows how to avoid them.

Get a team together, have one use only sniper rifles and the other use anything else, and I garuntee the snipers will win the majority of the time.

Exactly what I was going to say.

Flashbangs are never really helpful against snipers because the snipers are usually so far away. And usually snipers are in groups which makes rushing hard.

Sounds like Kirby's never played against a sniper worth his salt. I'll have to give the guy a sound spanking so he knows just what he's up against with snipers.

Flashbangs in Farcry rock..

Toss one straight up in the air on an open feild (Like the Surf level) and everyone get's blinded. Across the LAN floor you hear "ARGHAH" "AH CRAP MY EYES" "OH EM GEE!" etc.
