    Hi all, I've been reminiscing and wondering what everyone's favourite guns from an FPS have been over the years?

    For me, I'm still in awe of Turok 2's Shredder shotgun after playing the recent remaster. The K-Volt from Crysis 2&3 has a glorious sound to it.

    Blood's shotgun still amazing today too:


    Whats your favourite all time FPS weapon?

    I'm not sure its my favourite gun overall but using/obtaining the handgun for the first time in Half-Life 2 was extremely satisfying.

    Standard shotgun in original Doom

    Railgun in Quake 2

    RC-P90 in Goldeneye

    Farsight in Perfect Dark

    SR-8 in Urban Terror

    M4A1 in PUBG

    Tie between Devotion and Alternator in Titanfall 2



    I've shot a lot of people...

    Favourite out of that lot would be the Railgun. Precision death machine.

    Cow launcher in the N64 South Park game was extremely satisfying.

    I don't know how you mentioned Turok without also mentioning the cerebral bore but the correct answer is cerebral bore.

    Pretty much any shotgun with some real kick. That means the single shotgun from Doom and Quake 2, the hunting gun from Serious Sam, and the Spas from Half-Life.

    Pre-nerf Vex Mythoclast was the most fun. Taking that fucker into PvP was straight up cheating, and I don't hold an ounce of remorse at the amount of people I gleefully melted before they patched it into oblivion.

    Halo 2's BR was an absolute game changer though.

    The Conference Call and Butcher from the Borderlands games probably top the list for me. Maybe the Lyuda as well.

    I don't think I could name one single most favourite, although the railgun from the Quake games is very high up in the list. Haven't used one in years though, so it may be rose-tinted glasses and it's not as much fun anymore as it was long ago.

    Doom 2016's Super Shotgun is very high up on the list too, also its BL3 hommage, the Hellwalker.

    Aside from that, quite a few guns in Borderlands 3, and a few in BL2. But I guess nothing beats BL2's Morningstar (a "reward" from nemesis corporation Hyperion that makes passive-aggressive comments on your shooting), and The Bane which is cursed with madness.

    I feel strange that I'm actually agreeing with the Dr about something. But yeah the Doom 2016 super shotgun and the Q3 railgun are brilliant. Even though it wasn't a great game the majority of the guns in Rage 2 were actually punchy as hell.

    Q2 railgun, what a sound and those visual effects were ace. Instagib!

    The Handcannon from Action Quake 2 was also amazing. Basically a sawed off double barrel shotgun with wide dispersal but no range, it was kind of a troll gun for casual play.

    I have very fond memories of the G11 in CoD Black Ops. Three round burst mode with an awesome scope.

    So many TF weapons were just the bees knees.

    Although it's not an fps, the sniper rifle in sniper elite has probably given me the most joy of any gun in a game. The xray shots never got old to me. The rest of the game was a bit janky but that gun was amazing.

    If we are including tf titans... then it has to be Ion's laser shot and laser core. Lasering ejecting pilots is one of the most satisfying things ever. And then blasting some fucker with your core for the first time. Wowzers.

    Oh, if we're going to giant robots, then I'll take an AC/20 Burst Fire any day. Or preferably two of them, mounted on the arms of a King Crab.

    M1 Garand in Medal Of Honour.

    Although I also recently got it in Division 2 and it’s been glorious.

    Probably the assault rifle from the first Halo. A most excellent bullet hose, and it sounds great too

    And the Pulse Rifle in AvP2. There have been lots of Aliens games, but AvP2 was the only one to nail the Pulse Rifle.

    Whispered Truth and Nornfang in Halo 5.

    Might be cheating slightly because they're REQ weapons, but eh.
