A reload time just long enough to ensure that misses are almost certainly fatal against skilled opponents. Nigh-immediate delivery of death upon pulling the trigger. Its ultra-precise, nigh-instantly lethal, but demands utter precision and mastery in exchange for the revelation of its greatest pleasures. Truly the most elegant, gentlemanly weapon in all of FPS, Quakes Railgun is less a firearm, more the modern iteration of the medieval jousting lance, with a good deal of the Georgian duelling pistol thrown in for good measure. Pick off enough enemies from a distance with the Lancers long-range, ballistic authority, charge in through the remaining hail of bullets, and your prize is the most satisfying, physical, flat-out angry melee attack ever conceived in a video game.
Taking the traditional shoot/melee dynamic to transcendent new levels, it wraps it all up into one single, neat solution comprising immense risk and reward. But ye Gods, how wonderful it is as a whole package. Its fire is poundingly, viscerally tactile, not in the least overshadowed by the showboating, flesh-devouring bites of its star attraction. So wonderful-shocking, even-was the fearsome sight and sublime conceit of the Lancer that it single-handedly sold the whole concept and vibe of Gears of War immediately.Įither element of the gun would have made it a winner. It should have been no surprise that it chose to stamp its mark on the Xbox 360 with a massive chunky assault rifle equipped with an equally massive, meaty chainsaw. Ever since the early days of Unreal, brash, brainy, brutal firepower has been its trademark. Prev of 102 Next Prev of 102 NextĮpic, frankly, does not fuck around when it comes to creating guns. Along with the Auger, and the Spiked Grenades, this weapon made Resistance the pick of the PS3s launch line-up. Moreover, its just heaps of fun to use-it makes you feel like a massive badass, even if your aim is worse than a one-eyed alcoholic wearing a blindfold. Its such a simple, effective idea, that its amazing other shooters never considered it before. This truly opens up the potential of the game, allowing you to tag foes, hide behind cover, and brutalise them with bullets. However, the Bullseyes secondary fire allows you to tag enemies with a homing beacon, and send every subsequent shot to that target like a swarm of furious bees. The premise is simple: it can be used as a straight-forward assault rifle, with a satisfyingly high rate of fire. While it isnt the flashiest weapon in the Resistance (opens in new tab) universe, its one of the most inspired a design classic. Theres a wonderful simplicity to the Bullseye. Also, in case you were wondering: Oddjob is still banned. A weapon for a more genteel, thoughtful age. Do you hide mines in the obvious choke-points? If so, do you use them as a primary tactic, or as a means of bluffing the more knowledgeable player towards your real, more idiosyncratic trap? Do you aim for the floor? That little cubby-hole on the wall? The ceiling? Do you even set traps at all, or instead go conspicuous, drawing your opponent towards you before frantically hurling mines at their feet and hoping to escape the fallout? Proximity Mines. And the only way to retaliate is a cerebral, silent counter-hunt. In a mines-focused match, few shots will be fired, but the sense of danger-of being invisibly hunted-is immense.
No, the Proximity Mine is a beautiful, multi-faceted, tactical, playful gem of a thing, concerned as much with the whimsical to-and-fro of gentlemanly mind-games as it is the actual blowing up of adversaries.
To refer to it as such is to label Chess as Checkers with horses.
