Favorite Marathon weapon

[Vladtepes]

Nice grave digging !
(goes very well with my zombie status of past months)

[ukimalefu]

You all know what the best weapon is for fighting zombies. Shotguns! And the only thing better than a shotgun, is one in each hand.

Shotguns are also good against The Pfhor. For multiplayer, The SPNKR.

[tehWastedJamacan]

Ugg, i hate the spnkr, just because people only seem to play maps that only have spnkrs. I really dont like any game where the only weapons are rockets.

[Pfhorrest]

You all know what the best weapon is for fighting zombies. Shotguns!

I disagree. Lightsabers are superior.

[spukrian]

I disagree. Lightsabers are superior.

I´ve always wanted to see a "Lightsabers vs. Aliens" fight.... (And I´m referring to the creature designed by Mr. Giger).

[Grenth]

My personal favorite weapon is the nuke launcher for Marathon EVIL

[VikingBoyBilly]

Pretty sure the TOZ-T is the only sure thing you can use against a pile of pfhors in front of you without them shooting back. And it's just plain fun <-- replace that SPNKR with a TOZ-T (BTW, what are TOZ-T and SPNKR acronyms for, exactly?)

And of course the fun one is the only one not to be ported to Halo But I only played the first two games (and not much of them) so I'm far from being an expert on the subject.

Any lethal implements with the purpose of obliterating hostiles at long ranges are top of the list in my book.

(BTW, what are TOZ-T and SPNKR acronyms for, exactly?)

They aren't acronyms, if you sound them out they represent "Toaster" and "Spanker".

[treellama]

"Toaster"

Toasty!

[Meta]

Toasty!

So that's why people like the smell of napalm in the morning. Breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day.

[VikingBoyBilly]

O RLY? I've been pronouncing TOZ like the wizard of Oz, so that's why I didn't get it. I thought they were clever acronyms for something humorous like the BFG or a kid's next door episode title but they're really just letters that don't secretly represent anything other than their pronounciation?

[treellama]

You got Waste 'Em, though, right? Right?

[Kurinn]

(BTW, what are TOZ-T and SPNKR acronyms for, exactly?)

TOZ-T:

Tetrahydrofuran Oxidization Zamboni Unit - Tank Fed
(That's right, it was only designed for resurfacing massive ice-rinks, but then again it's also useful for torching aliens. Go figure.)


SPNKR:

Surface Portable Novel Kill Rocket
(What's so novel about it? It has two rockets instead of just one. But, that was enough to sell the damn thing to the UESC, so there you go.)

[VikingBoyBilly]

Oh and the WSTE-M shotgun is WASTE 'EM! LOL funny! Arrgh... Treellamma ruined my moment before I could post it
I guess KKV and MA-75G mean something that I still don't get...

[SynthNinja]

I like the MA-75B purely because I love blasting enemies into lava and engine coolant with grenades. The SPNKR is fun too though, for the same reason, only it's better when I'm going for distance.

[Sphting Distance]

Toasty!

TOASTY!

Oh come on, I just had too .

[Hostile Amish]

The KKV-7.

If you look closely, it looks like a Heckler & Koch MP5SD, without the cocking handle, selector lever, buttstock attachment point, and contains a C-MAG drum.

At least, I'm convinced so.

[Megaman]

Zeus Pistol

Eat flashy, white death.

[Meta]

The Rubicon Maser, hands down.

[CryoS]

rubicon RL, 2ndary trigger fires all 3 missiles at once

perfect for spawnkilling

[InternalShambler]

If I can think of one weapon I'd choose to be stuck with, it'd either be the fusion pistol or the assault rifle. They're just the most versatile weapons of all. In single player mode, I'd probably pick the fusion pistol (especially for vacuum levels -- wouldn't want to be stuck trying to "vid" my way through G4 Sunbathing). In multiplayer mode, however, the assault rifle seems more appropriate.

I still can't believe it took me years to discover that fusion eats through invincibility shields.

And I despise the fists. I despise using them, I despise when people use them, and I despise all the enthusiasm around using them. Sure, I'm good with them, but turning the game into a boxing match snoozefest is not my interest at all, "vidding" be damned. Nothing makes me want to punch little kittens quite like being in a laggy/choppy game with some wanker pulling a Matrix and running frantically around me trying to hit me, even though I blast the idiots with shotguns most of the time.

Guns are just more fun.

[ErisOnline]

Rubicon's Carpet Mortar. Because it's a fucking grenade shotgun.
[attachment=3058:CM.jpg]
I mean COME ON!

[RyokoTK]

The mortar is such a joke. A direct hit is about the strength of a rocket, only you'll never score one since as soon as the first grenade hits it pushes the bad guys away from the rest.
