I liked some of the helghast weapons.
I feel the standard helgast rifle has some oomph to it, but the rest are all shit.
Get out. They'll get your card at the door.
but srsly the sniper in UT was amaze-balls. Was so disappointed when they made the Lightning gun or whatever in UT2K3/4. /vomit

Every single gun in Bioshock Infinite
Kid Icarus Uprising takes the cake for me (I don't differentiate between FPS and TPS when they play the same). Firing weightless energy balls that have no impact and need like 20 hits to kill even the weakest enemies. Killzone Mercenary felt pretty bad too but maybe that's a result of playing without sound (I still killed more enemies with melee than with guns in that game because the guns felt so weak).

I remember back in my halo 3 days when my friends and I encountered a garbage team we would handicap ourselves by limiting ourselves to the pistol.I love the Binary Rifle. You can absolutely decimate with it.
However it does have a fairly large disadvantage that when you zoom in everyone can see where you are due to a red laser sight coming from the gun. Means you have to be fairly aggressive with it rather than sitting and camping in a corner.
The Halo 3 pistol on the other hand...
This gun was abysmal. We went from complete destruction in CE to meh in Halo 2 to awful and completely useless in Halo 3. It is weak, with a very slow rate of fire and is very inaccurate.
I got a kill with it the other day, I was extremely surprised at how bad the other player must have been. Even the best Halo player in the world can't use this gun effectively.

Assault Rifle in Unreal Tournie 2K4.
The Mosin Nagut and any nom-MK2 pistol in MGO2. The tranquilizer sniper was not only inaccurate, but redundant. And slow, and vastly outclassed by its on pistol sister. And the pistols. Goddamn useless. Why would you roll with a semi-auto, slow, inaccurate, pistol in a game of headshots? You wouldn't.
Those new alien guns in Halo 4. Cool design but incredible boring
The minigun in Cod 4 was pretty damn awesome

This one. It's like shooting lit cigarettes.DerZuhälter;91884532 said:
Pretty sure it's the Blaster.
The auto-snipers in Counter-Strike, before they patched them into OP-ness. (If anyone even remembers that long ago). Couldn't hit shit with them, ever, then they became too strong.
Also the M249 is one of the most effective weapons on the battlefield, but Counter-Strike makes it look silly. I'm talking like 1.3 days, they've probably patched it into relevance, but that's what I remember.

THE SNIPER RIFLE IN PERFECT DARK
This gun was so bad
so here's the things that it had wrong
1. In a game like Perfect Dark, where the aiming was really wonky when you "aimed", this became very difficult to just get a shot in on another player
2. The gun does abysmal damage, a headshot doesn't kill in 1 hit, which considering how hard it is too shoot, was a very weird idea
3. This weapon does not have auto-aim, back in the day of only using 1 stick, this was a horrendous flaw as auto-aim was the crutch for this game.
This gun was hard to aim, and didn't kill fast. In fact, the other guns that were hard to shoot had huge payoffs, the two revolvers were both beasts.
Completely useless gun, not as bad as the Klobb, but the Klobb is somewhat a fun gun to use in some way (killing people with the klobb is a satisfying feeling)

That gun was awful. When me and a buddy would play social slayer against bad kids we'd just run around with pistols to add more embarrassment as to how bad they were. Pistols with a good juke and team work actually can do some work but you have to be very accurate.
It was even funnier when we'd destroy them with pistols and they'd start thinking pistols were some how good and start using it themselves
EDIT: Beaten by Ol No Bones, he knows
Hey! In the most satisfying thread I put Binary Rifle! I love that gun, it is so OP but the feedback and disintegrated enemy looks awesome. Least satisfying gun would have to be Halo 2 and Halo 3 SMGs, or Halo 3 Plasma Pistol. EDIT: Yeah, that magnum in Halo 3 was so bad. Like a wet flacid cock, so useless. One Halo CE pistol would destroy thousands of those things.
Klobb.
Probably, though the alt fire was pretty fun. I think it'd kill with a direct body shot, but I could be wrong. Getting a few kills with it at the beginning of the match in an overcrowded map is satisfying.

"It is so OP but" completely destroyed any notion of balance the Halo franchise had.

The binary rifle from halo 4 may be cheap and dirty but it's far from unsatisfying.

The majority of full-auto guns in Halo. The Plasma Rifle and especially the Needler are fun.

When it comes to HL2, the SMG is the only weapon which really wasn't any good. The pistol and revolver had disappointingly weak sound effects but were fun to use, and the rest - the gravity gun, shotgun, pulse rifle, crossbow - were goddamn awesome in every way.
I agree with the Borderlands games, especially 2, all the guns in that felt horrible, significantly worse than even the first game.
Oh, and the sound effects on FEAR 2's weapons, especially the shotgun, were shockingly inferior to the first game's. The rest of the gunplay was pretty much intact, but the sound design was really a bummer.

Inaccurate and weak.
Agreed. I did like the handcannon and shotgun in that game though.
I think that part of the issue with the guns in the Bioshick games is that they're designed to be levelled-up which means that they tend to be underpowered to begin with.
Edit: I also agree with the post below about the Halo assault rifle.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
The guns in Red Dead are awesome, would be heaps better if you could look down the iron sights though.
ME is also probably the only game where it's a good thing that all the guns feel like shit.
