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.
You need to try Darktide. It’s the best bolter in any video game ever. It is massive, it is chunky, the magazines are huge, it makes big clunky mechanical noises every time you ready it, and on full auto it feels like you are unleashing the holy wrath of the Emperor with every round fired.
I loved the kar98k even more. My friend and I would one v one on small maps only using this weapon. So much fun. And the single player sniper missions with it were great.
Yesssss. I also loved the pistol in that game. It was one of the first games i came across where the pistol was just as deadly (in the right hands) as most anything else you could get.
Side note, why the fuck don’t we have games with destructible environments anymore? I know BF4 has it, but the only other FPS I can think of that did it as well as red faction was ‘Black’ in 2006.
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.
Yup. In multiplayer, I used to blow a crater in the floor with explosives and then sit in the hole with the rail gun, shooting people through the floor.
I never played a lot of FPS, but I loved the Quake rocket launcher. It was fun to jump around with in multiplayer. But what I enjoyed most of all was the satisfaction of guessing when someone rounded the corner and having a rocket land at the exact same time.
…it’s not important compared to The Super Shotgun. The ultimate demon slaying weapon, the pinnacle of shotguns. You think “why don’t they just call it the double barrel?”. Because it’s better. Because it’s super.
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.
The split screen multiplayer where one person would be a monkey while the others hunted it was so much fun. I can see the cerebral bore squirting monkey brains so clearly in my mind.
The one that’s the most fun and made me feel the most powerful is the VSS from STALKER. Learning the bullet drop and managing to head shot a moving target is very satisfying.

A simple.handgun, I like to just take a moment to aim for the head
Particularly the rifle-like properties of the standard Halo CE handgun. That weapon was broken at distance.
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.
The Boltgun from Boltgun.

10mm HV Penetrator from F.E.A.R

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.
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.
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.
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
The sub-machine gun with grenade launcher in Half Life. such a vital tool.
MP5 I think. All the weapons in half life were very satisfying to use.
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

why am I laughing at this I don’t even get it
oof good answer
railgun, red faction

The early RF games are really underrated.
Aww man, Red Faction was an awesome game! Didn’t the rail gun also have an infrared scope that could see through walls?
Yup. In multiplayer, I used to blow a crater in the floor with explosives and then sit in the hole with the rail gun, shooting people through the floor.
The pepper way to play!

Super Shotgun from Doom 2, love the feeling when you shoot it.
To quote Civvie:

That’s a deep cut and I’m so glad you said it

And Rage Wars.
I definitely read that as Turok Tutu
That’s Turok 4

Came here looking for this
Quake 1 HWGuy gatling. Tap, tap, tap to keep it spinning … enemy appears at the bottom of the elevator shaft … BZZZZZT.

Force-a-Nature
Ooo, that’s inspiring. Maybe my answer should be Sasha…
SR8 in Urban Terror… used to have so much fun sniping people in that game
https://urbanterror.fandom.com/wiki/Remington_SR8
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.
