The Vigoorian Flails in Ninja Gaiden!

RPD and M60 in Battlefield Vietnam make the list as well!

-Lasereth

Gotta love the redeemer in UT, flyable nuke on :D

Can't forget Max Payne 2, where you can dualize them bitches.

Far Cry has the best sniper rifle ever. The machete is real good in it too, almost too good, feels silly to take out 3 guys with machine guns at once using a machete.

This is an old game but..

NUKE in Star Craft and SC Broodwar.

2 nukes and the entire base is flat.

Wait! I take that back!

The Gauss Gun and Pulse Rifle in Fallout 2. Why? 95% chance to hit any friggin part of the body you want.

Fallout 2 also gets the "badass armor award" for the Advanced Power Armor MKII.




Oh yeah, and my Banshee in Vice City.

The flare gun from Blood. Shoot some poor bastid, and he shrieks a little- aw, too bad. But THEN he burst into flames and run around screaming in agony "OH IT BURNS IT BURNS AAAUGH MY EYYYEEES!!!"

So satisfying.

I remember the XP-5 microwave cannon from Crusader: No Regret.

In terms of weapons, they seemed to be scaled by intensity of grisly death. Well, there was the UV-8 ultraviolet gun with the "SPF infinity overdrive" remove skin setting, but the XP-5 had the all-in-one excessive-ness to it.

How about Halo itself? Power to exterminate all sentient life in one blast makes for a pretty badass weapon

The air-pump from Dig-dug. ;)
The explosive shotgun shells and arrows from Turok2.
Links' boomerang from various games.
I liked the double Klobbs from Goldeneye and the silenced PP7.

Coconut Beans in Boy and His Blob

I would also vote for the BFG 9000, but with a correction...

The Acronym BFG actually stands for Big "Fun" Gun.

:)

The BFG 9000, who doesnt love that gun!?
the glass shard from Manhunt... it gives me chills, actually most of the weapons in Manhunt do... ugh

Sam Fischers rifel in Splinter Cell... I just love weapons with so many functions..

GTC Aeolus- Freespace 2

The coolest weapon in a game was the Gem in Castlevania SotN.

It finaly came into it's own in this installment. When the game first came out, everyone on my dorm floor would congregate in my room to take turns playing it, watching people play, and trash talking. No one could figure out why I kept insisting on keeping the Gem, until about a week in when my skills were finaly mastered. Soon, everyone was trying to catch up :D

Simple, powerful, elegant: Gem

I'll second that, wasting friends on the LAN was awesome with those, but they really burned through the ammo. The SPNKR kicked ass too, I loved the huge kick, whooshing noise and smoke trail it had, not to mention you could blow carcasses/people across the map with it. When I think about it, all of the weapons from Marathon are pretty good.

Half-Life's crowbar and rocket launcher are also favourites.

Slightly off topic, but my favourite multiplayer map of all time is 'Thunderdome' from Marathon 2, thanks for bringing back the memories hulk :)

Crowbar...Half-Life...nuff said.

1. Lightsaber from any Star Wars game
2. Strider Hiryu's cipher 'Falchion'
3. Raizan and Bishamon from the Onimusha series
4. I always thought the name 'Ragnarok' was cool for a weapon

The BFG 9000 was my first love, but getting real good lightsaber use in Jedi Outcast was a real kick. However, I absolutely love the dual Ballers in the Hitman games. Powerful and always there when you need them.

The Armageddon weapon from Worms Armageddon. Enough said.

concrete donkey!!!

I can't help but value humor over deadliness...thus three nominees:

Ton Of Dirt

Yer Ripsaw

Sheep Strike

I want an ultima weapon just as a display piece. Make it out of like, glass and blue marble or something I guess.

Where's fire?

the gat from unreal tournament... it can shoot a ton of rounds really fast but never overheats or jams

The Jackhammer from PlanetSide

Here here. I also like the dual hand guns in Unreal Tourney.

The Grenade Redeemer

It's a mutator for UT (1) that makes the redeemer spout out hundreds of grenades when it detonates. The game freezes for a half second, and then there's grenades everywhere.

Especially effective in Hall of Giants.

i'm gonna have to say scorpions spear....then simon's whip
