railgun, red faction

Flak cannon all the way, but I spent many days in high school instagibbing my friends so it does hold a special place in my heart.

There's been a lot of fun ones. The battle for second place is bloody and impossible to call, but the number one spot belongs only to the BFG.

I used to roll with the G3 in Battlefield 2. Also the DMR from Halo Reach is a favourite.

The flak canon was a ton of fun, but I have a special fondness for the slime gun. Primary fire leaving a bunch of slime balls around was hilarious, as was running around with the secondary charged up, just hoping to run face first into someone and fire it at point-blank range, killing you both. Strategic or tactically sound? No. But hilarious.

The kritzkreig from tf2. It does no damage, it actually does *negative* damage. But when you hit that switch, oooooo

Particularly the rifle-like properties of the standard Halo CE handgun. That weapon was *broken* at distance.

Aww man, Red Faction was an awesome game! Didn’t the rail gun also have an infrared scope that could see through walls?

*Rise of the Triad*'s [Flamewall](https://youtu.be/_YayFqT0Wpw).

Compound bow in Crysis, I think it was the third game. Flak Cannon in Unreal Tournament. Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 obviously.

Even that thread is full of mixed messages but I guess I'll just risk it.

Farsight from Perfect Dark

I definitely read that as Turok Tutu

Definitely the flak cannon. But I also really liked th3 disk gun, especially the sound of disks flying past you.

The bolt thrower in painkiller.

My friend group made a DM variant that was just Pistols with no shields and health at 400%. The only shots that mattered were headshots We quickly learned that the pistol was not hitscan and it was always cool when two players took each other out.

Flak cannon from unreal tournament 2004. Having a shotgun and a long range AOE explosive round was just too much fun.


In one match I got two air disc kills over 300m. I was a god damn sniper with that thing.

I was hoping someone would mention the disc launcher! We used to play the shareware version on the school computers whenever we had free time. Shazbot!
