Discussion Topic: Game Weapon of Choice

Saturday, November 21, 2009

Now I know you will more then likely skip this all ready as you seen Discussion Topic in the subject line.  For those of you who dare and can recall weapons you have played with in the past five years.  So before you hit the jump button to finish reading and discussing the topic at hand think about all those weapons in the past five years.

 
Dan Hsu did an article on Borderlands and the amount of weapons that game had in it.  I own Borderlands and also amazed by the amount of different weapon/ammo combination's in this game.  It is one of those games that truly makes random customizations cool when you find that one weapon you just enjoy more then anything.

 

How ever in the past five years there has been many unique weapons in many games.  The Rail Gun, Gravity Gun, Portal Gun, The BR, Flaming Chain and many more.  Ideas what some creative studios have come up with just amaze me.  With as much detail and passion in creating original stuff I have to give props to the normal and creative game weapon designers out there. 

 

You may call me a fan boy after the next statement.  My favorite weapon of all time comes from Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1.  Yes,  It is the Flaming Chain Whip when Using Ghost Rider.  The movement is fluid while in motion and overall I just think it is a bad ass way to kill a game enemy with the chain burning them.  Then pulling the chain and just tossing them across the room while they burn in mid air.

 

So what is your favorite Weapon wether new or old that you have played with in the past five years?  You can pick a gun from the latest FPS shooter of MW2 or go with something else that you have played with in the past five years.

I'm going to have to say any of the weapons from Team Fortress 2. It's really hard to be ultra-specific; each gun is really, really cool.

Wow, it is so hard to limit that to one weapon or weapon type... so I won't...
Not so recently (and unconventional):
Nearly any car in Burnout Paradise. Odd choice, yes, but I spent many, many hours playing that game for the satisfaction brought through the destruction to myself and others.

Recently (and more conventional):
Tie between the PPsH and the Raygun in Call of Duty World at War. The pew pew pew brought the pain in Nazi Zombies.

My favorite weapons are these pair of "axes" in Sacred 2 -- they're not axes, really, but guitars! And they're on fire!

I'm going to have to with Jason's fists in Shadow Complex once you get the suit upgrade. Honestly, punching people across the screen never gets old.

Honorable mention goes to the shock arrows for the cross-bow in BioShock. I've never had more fun setting up traps than with that awesome weapon.

My favourite weapon of all time is the cerebral bore from Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. If you've never seen it... It's deliciously violent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CaiXVbFZXI

Close second - The Flamethrower from TF2

When it comes to weapons, I'm pretty plain.

I enjoy AK-47's in shooters and Swords in fantasy/past era games.

Haha, sorry I couldn't be cooler for this discussion Toby. :D

It occupies the view space that every weapon does in most FPS games, it is the Portal gun in Portal and if it is acceptable then it is my pick ;)

If not I am happy to say the rocket launcher in GTA IV...it cemented my love of the latest Rockstar gem the first time I used it to take down a helicopter. My direct hit caused the chopper to fall, hitting the side of the bridge before hurtling to earth and sliding to a halt right in front of me. Classic gaming moment.

Lance has it right with the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2. But the Pyro's Flamethrower is in second place? C'mon. The Demoman's 'nade launcher and sticky-bomb launcher are both clearly superior!
