Since lots of us played a big amount of FPS-games I wondered what the most loved weapon is! 8)

I hope I didnt miss anything of importance! Of course I cannot list all special-weapons, tick your second choice then if your favorite weapon isn't available!

Explain your vote! :o

I'll start!

I voted for flamethrower.
For me there is nothing more fun than walking around with a giant lighter strapped to my shoulders filling rooms with burning napalm and burning squealing enemies until they are a pile of coal. :twisted: :tup:

Close second: Battle rifle

Melee Weapon: Shishkebab
The Fallout 3's flaming sword totally modified my opinion about melee weapons. It's even more entertaining slap your target and put him on fire!

Second: Unique weapons (BioRifle, Razorjack, etc)

Shotguns. It's the hardest one to screw up, and it doesn't really feel like a complete shooter to me unless there's one lying around.

I voted Shotguns as well. I think I have yet to see a Shotgun in a commercial game that I didn't enjoy using. I believe the award for the most enjoyable Shotgun would still go to the original Doom & Doom 2, for the Shotgun and Double Barrel Shotgun. Other honorable mentions are the Shotguns from Quake 2, Duke 3d, Undying, Doom3, and Quake 3. Heck, I even enjoy using the double barrel Shotgun that comes with the U4E mod!

Nothing wrong with the good ole shotty!

You should check out F.E.A.R 2, it has two shotguns, one pump-action and one semi-automatic. Both are orgasmic! :o
Rips open enemies like fruits!

Guessing from your strong opinion about shotguns RD will feature such firearm specimen too? :o

It seems I am the only who thinks that Shotguns are stupid, worthless and overused weapons. Someone should create Sniper Shotguns. Or upgrades like the Quadshot and the Flak Cannon.

I believe I mentioned in another post some time ago - Shotgun (double barrel - Doom2).

It's a damn powerful weapon which gives a kick and can thus provide some distance when your enemy gets too close. And the nice thing is that you have to learn when to use it because reloading leaves you vulnrable. granted this applies to the Flac cannon also but that weapon is more modern, and I just love destriying the superadvanced aliens with "obsolete" but useful weapons.

I'm a sucker for energy weps. Everything else has pretty much been made in real life. Energy weps allows you to make something that CAN'T be made :D

I'm fond of Quake's Thunderbolt. I also think that the Flak Cannon is a wondrous creation.

Plus... Redeemer... :P

Shock Rifle, plasma weapons from Total Annihilation (especially LRPCs), Contact Beam/Line Gun/Force Gun from Dead Space, heavy capital ship and anti-fighter beams from Freespace 2, twin-linked lascannons from Dawn of War, the Fusion Cannon in System Shock 2 (even if it sucks), almost all the primary weapons in Descent 2 (especially the Helix Cannon), the rapidfire laser cannon main gun on the Wraith in Uprising, that ridiculous Tesla gun in Blood, the plasma rifle in Deus Ex (even if it sucks), the Fucker Spider beam weapon and the Loyalist disintegrator pulse laser in Supreme Commander, laser rifles in XCOM, etc

Yeah I think I'm an energy weapon guy. That might explain why half of EXU2's guns could be considered energy weapons :I

(And no not all those are FPSs but god damn are their energy weapons great)


I also really like the U1 flak cannon (moreso than any other version), the minigun in Serious Sam, various missile launchers, etc. But when it comes to a well-made and creative energy weapon, I just can't NOT love it. The Shockrifle is one of those things that has always been very fun to use and it's a really creative yet solid design. I don't really like the U1 ASMD because it feels and looks so damn weak, but UT and UT3's Shockrifle is awesome.

How would that work? Shotguns are made to spread the shot pellets to make a wide hit area thus making them wonderful in close quarter combat and next to uselesss at longe range encounters. Its like saying ''sweet vinegar''. :P
BUT, a shotgun can shoot also slugs (never seen them in a game though) which are a crazy powerful single projectiles out of a shotgun barrel with accuracy up to 75 yards. :D

Can't have one in real life. :(

Partial to melee weapons here (any and all , regardless of the game)
Especially backstabbing moves (thief blackjack , spy knife , shock lance in tribes 2)

No real second pick , I'm just drawn to exotic stuff (pulse rifle can't be called exotic , shock rifle is) and explosives in general. You know , things that don't require pinpoint accuracy on the enemy :P
