LEAST used weapon.
« on: July 09, 2006, 09:58:57 pm »
Well, these forums are riddled with m79 and barret overuse topics.  I thought I'd turn thing around a bit...  What do you think is the least popular weapon?

I rarely see the Deagles use, and whn people do, they usually suck with them.  (I like the deagles though, I'm good with them)

But I don't see why the Deagles are so unpopular, they are powerful, especially at close range, they reload relarively fast, and they ricoshet so good it's almost a crime.  So why are they so unpopular?

PS: Were they any changes made to them from 1.2.1 -----> 1.3.1?  I think they were a little more popular back then?  I dunno, what's your opinion?

Minigun. Almost everyone hates it, even most newbs.

Yep, minigun followed by minimi. Deagles are now unpopular because they were nerfed. Before, 2 hits usually guaranteed a kill, now 3 are required a lot of the time.

I thought you were asking what weapons we use the least. XD

I see almost every weapon in servers, but whenever I see the minigun it's only used by the noobs. Most of the times I see m79 abusers everywhere, though. >:(

Actually, using the minigun is quite entertaining. I enjoy spraying forty rounds into one's noggin from five feet away.

Hmm... only occasionally do i see a Spas'er. And a lot of times, I'm the only one I ever see using a Ruger.

And Minimis are rare... but people are good whenever they do use the Minimi.
Soon i will be done with the troubles of this world.
Just take this whole world, and give me Jesus.

I never really see people use the chainsaw, mp5, and ak-74 anymore.

Btw the mp5 really is one of the best weapons in the game.

I'd say the minigun and the minimi are the most unused guns. I rarely see any one with the minigun except a Major or two, and the people that have the minimi dont seem like they know what they're doing with it.
Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

minigun because it sucks, shold be removed from the game and put something useful in that slot, a stick for example.

I like the minigun, i can usually squeeze a few kills off with it before i die (usually).

I think it would become a little more popular if it didn't have such lousy bink.

And same goes for the minimi. A good gun with just a little too much bink.

it seems pretty obivous which gun is the least used.  As for the minimi being second, i do agree.  but i wil say that i have been seeing more and more people using it lately, it may be picking up steam.  I personialy dont get why people dont use the minimi more.  i mean it may be an issue of bink to a lot of people from the auto-firing, but i have adapted.  i got to a point where i am able to keep it very low and keep a really high rate of fire.

Yep, I rarely ever see the minigun or chainsaw on the battlefield.  Such a shame.

I often switch to chainsaw in big servers when the knife just doesn't help too much... I actually won a game a few days ago on Lanubya using only saw and a few nades here and there, with about 20 people in the game... that was a lotta fun :D I got 2 caps.
Another time I got third place using ONLY saw, with no caps. I think chainsaw is really underestimated by a lot of people, as it can be very effective.
Generally, I'm sticking to spas/knife though :P

Anyway, I've seen a few decent deaglers recently.. the weapon is pretty good if you can handle the arc. I rarely get into spas fights with anyone, but they come along occasionally. And I agree that the Minimi is starting to pick up a bit... maybe it's just coincidence, but I've been in servers with 2-3 minimi users a number of times in the past few days.
