My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
The shink ray from Duke Nukem 3D was a delight to use in deathmatches. Shrink your opponent and squish 'em!
Railgun, Quake II.
Rocket launcher, Quake III
ASMD, Unreal/Unreal Tournament
Any good stake weapons (Painkiller, FEAR?).
I’m gonna put forward an uncommon weapon. Counter strike’s Zeus. I have 5000+ hours in csgo/cs2 and I have enjoyed the times when me and some friends have Zeused the enemy team more than any other kind of gameplay. You can jump around inferno apps, out of windows, up through windows, in and around boiler, on balcony while boosting a mate. Hide on the boxes on site and jump down to short. Same with nuke.
Unreal 2 black hole cannon
In one match I got two air disc kills over 300m. I was a god damn sniper with that thing.
A feel-good lifetime memory!
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!
We still playin its free now
Flak cannon from unreal tournament 2004.
Having a shotgun and a long range AOE explosive round was just too much fun.
Proxy mines, complex, license to kill mode
The bolt thrower in painkiller.
Farsight from Perfect Dark
What about the laptop turret, that was a fun one!
I almost said the Laptop Gun too. That game was full of cool and original weapons, second only to the Turok series
Compound bow in Crysis, I think it was the third game.
Flak Cannon in Unreal Tournament.
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 obviously.
M1 Garand in the old Call of Duty games.
Love me a quick single shot rifle and the iconic ping sound when it reloads is just chef's kiss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lezq2l-Z_wc
railgun, red faction
Aww man, Red Faction was an awesome game! Didn’t the rail gun also have an infrared scope that could see through walls?
I used to play RF2 multiplayer on GameCube with my brother when we were kids. We'd go onto that space map and try to snipe each other from across the map with the railgun.
The early RF games are really underrated.
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2
Undeniable classic. Not much more satisfying than hucking a file cabinet at a group of people who don't see you yet.
Also, the trip mines were fun to use in smaller games (just like the Duke3d ones).
10mm HV Penetrator from F.E.A.R
https://fear.fandom.com/wiki/10mm_HV_Penetrator
thunk thunk thunk thunk
Man I bought F.E.A.R. recently for like a dollar on GOG and I really want to play it, but I don't want SecuROM malware all over my system.
Seems like SecuROM won't install from playing singleplayer:

Even that thread is full of mixed messages but I guess I'll just risk it.
Download a cracked version. You’ve already bought a license.
The graphics dated fairly quickly but I believe the ai, combat and atmosphere should still be excellent.
The kritzkreig from tf2. It does no damage, it actually does negative damage. But when you hit that switch, oooooo
The Cerebral Bore from Turok 3, Shadows of Oblivion.
Honestly the whole weapon set was super unique and fun for deathmatch. Too bad the recent remake excluded multiplayer entirely... I'm still very sour about it.
It was in Turok 2 too!
I definitely read that as Turok Tutu
Came here looking for this
The flak cannon from Unreal. It's just a more fun and innovative type of shotgun with grenade launcher.
I'm kinda torn between Unreal Tournament's (ut99) sniper rifle, flak cannon and the instagib variant of the shock rifle.
Definitely the flak cannon. But I also really liked th3 disk gun, especially the sound of disks flying past you.
Flak cannon all the way, but I spent many days in high school instagibbing my friends so the shock rifle does hold a special place in my heart.
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.
I used to roll with the G3 in Battlefield 2.
Also the DMR from Halo Reach is a favourite.
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.
Force-a-Nature
If I could only pick one, it would probably be a simple shotgun
Unreal had a gun that shot saw blades that bounced off of surfaces. That was fun.
The Goo Gun in Fortnite was also great it sprayed a sticky goo that exploded after a few seconds
Super Shotgun from Doom 2, love the feeling when you shoot it.
The SH1900 from The Finals is one of the most satisfying guns I've used in a game before. Kicks like a horse but chunks away enemy health bars. High risk, high reward, high octane. And the audio just thumps you right in the chest with every shot, almost as much as the folks on the business end of the barrel.
The sub-machine gun with grenade launcher in Half Life. such a vital tool.
SR8 in Urban Terror... used to have so much fun sniping people in that game
The Boltgun from Boltgun.
It sounds right, it feels right, it purges right. There is something poetic about pulling the trigger and knowing whatever you direct your fully automatic rocket propelled grenade launcher at will explode in a cloud of gore.
