Favourite FPS weapon?
Discussion
Looking back at my varying collection of FPS games on steam and on disk from the last 20 odd years for some reason I thought it might make a good topic. What weapons tend to be your go-to choice, and what would be your all-time favourite?
For me I have a tendency to go for shotguns, and probably my all time favourite was from Half Life, closely followed by the Super Shotgun from Quake 2. Something satisfying about firing them, especially unleashing both barrels point blank on some enemy soldier/alien
Anyone else?

The gravity gun in Half Life 2 was amazing fun.
My goto weapon during my 100's of hours playing BF4 was the MK11 MOD 0 DMR, really satisfying to use.
Destiny 1 also had some great weapons, personal favorites were the Mida Multi tool, Plan B and the boss melting pre nurfed Gjallahorn.

My first thought was the laser ranging grenade launching combination assault/sniper rifle in Soldier of Fortune 2 Double Helix.
Googlesez it was the OICW and that it's mostly hated by people who can't use the laser ranging grenade launcher.
Good times. I'm off to install that and sod the graphics.

Sniper rifle
Far Cry 3,4 and 5. Fallout 3, NV and 4, etc
Quiet and from a distance - not sure what that says about me.
Same. Silenced 50 cal, shoot em in the head through a wall. Loadiut is always that plus a silenced submachine gun, with a grenade launcher for dealing with incoming reinforcement vehicles. Far Cry 3,4 and 5. Fallout 3, NV and 4, etc

Good call, I'd forgotten about that. Could be tempted to install it too...Googlesez it was the OICW and that it's mostly hated by people who can't use the laser ranging grenade launcher.

BFG in Doom 1 and 2.
Once you understood how it worked, the tricks to hide the wind up noise, the fact you could kill people in different rooms using "invisible" BFG tricks and so on. Spectacular.
M24 in PubG. If you get away with it from a drop and get a chance to use it at distance, it is a beast.

Favourite has to be the Super Shotgun in Doom 2 - BOOM!, click, click, BOOM!, click, click....
Borderlands has some odd ones as I think a lot of the stats are random, so you get submachine guns with huge mags and mammoth rates of fire

The nail gun in Quake!
Not sure what the game's called as I only played a demo, but there's a castle defence game I had a go at on an HTC Vive where you have a bow and arrow and fire it properly, with one controller as the bow and the other as the string. Very good once I got the hang of it.
