The big pistol that you have to pick up in Gears.

The standard blunt object in most FPSs. Baseball Bat, Crowbar, Pipe, any of that useless melee crap in a game with Rocket Launchers.

Yeah, but the Crowbar in how people recognize Half-Life. I love using it whenever I can in the game, just as long as I'm not killing enemies anyway.

The M1014 shotgun in Call of Duty 4.

The thing couldn't hit a person unless they were within knifing range. Well for a 1 hit kill that is. Anything farther and you're unloading the whole 4 rounds. That's another problem. It has 4 rounds........

Where as the regular pump action shotgun is able to clear someones head off from the other end of a hallway. PLUS it has 8 rounds in it. Yet it has lower accuracy and damage rate than the W1014.

Spit, discs, soda cans, jewels, masks, pies, oil, water guns, teddy bears, frisbee, rat toy, laser sword-Dead Rising

The SMG in Halo 3, I mean seriously, it's completely useless now.

Ever tried dual wielding those pistols? trust me they will shed infantry faster than Plasma grenades. In my case the most useless weapon ever was in Ninja Gaiden 1 with (you guessed it) the harpoon gun, just a weapon that was just a reason to take up disc memory, hell my dragon sword was more efficient against those fishy things

i hated the explosive bow thing in gears of war. and also, the RPG and Stinger in army of 2 - the RPG is ok but only has 1 shot, and the stinger always seems to aim for the bottom of a target so if there is any obstruction you cant hit them (unless there is a way of altering this i have not discovered yet

Actually, you can make a mix of food in Dead Rising so when you spit, it makes the same damage as a shotgun... for real.

that so called knife from Resident Evil 1 on the playstation 1.

Absolutely useless. For me, knives in those Resident Evil games were all subject to go right into the storage crate immediately. They just take up what limited space you already had. I'd have rather to run away from all enemies and search for ammo before I think of using my knife.

I'd say the gattling gun (or whatever they called it) in Army of Two. It's the most expensive weapon in the game and supposedly the ultimate weapon to have according to the in-game tips. However, its completely useless. It has a very slow spin up and then you might get only a couple hits on an enemy before having to reload or dying, because the recoil is so terrible.

SMG from Halo 2 and 3 and the Torque Bow from Gears (I just never got into that thing). The needler sucked in multiplayer, but it wasn't bad in the campaign. Or the red plasma rifle from Halo 2. That thing overheated faster than "you fill in the blanks."

Every gun in Halo. They feel like Nerf guns... as in useless

rufnek69

"Every gun in [x game] sucks, because I don't like [x game]." Good contribution.

Sometimes things get so bizzare, I can't help but comment on them. All the guns in Halo are useless. I personally killed a great number of bad guys with the guns in Halo. So, what, did you somehow play Halo as a stealth action game? If you're having trouble getting the guns in Halo to kill anything, then I would suggest turning the difficulty down. Or you could avoid action shooters altogether, and play Rainbow Six on realistic, or Call of Duty on veteran.

the worst weapon had to be the brass nuckles on Doom

craneman3299

Indeed. You get the chainsaw in, I think, the second level if you find a secret. Why would you ever use the brass knuckles again? Especially, since 1 now defaults to the chain saw; you have to press 1 twice to even get your fists, which I didn't even know until half-way through the game.

I think I can one-up you, though, and stay in the Doom franchise: Your fists in Doom 3. There is no reason to ever punch anything in Doom 3. Why? The flashlight does more damage, and you have the flashlight from the beginning of the game. The fists are completely pointless. There is no reason at all to have them.

The plasma pistol's underrated i think. If you're in a close quarter situation it can be useful sometimes, just fire a fully charged round and melee right after. Plus it's useful at stopping vehicles, especially ghosts.
