    Well you needed some chance if you ran out of ammo.

    +1 on that. It fulfilled it's role as a last chance desperate weapon.

    I used to the hate the Lightning Gun in UT2004.

    It was a decent damaging weapon but compared to the orginals sniper rifle it was useless for actually sniping!

    The torch in Ghosts n' Goblins.
    I always hated it...

    Not as bad as the Sword in Ghouls n' Ghosts. I got so good at that game that I decided to do a challenge run with just that weapon. It's non-projectile but does double damage. Was going OK until I got the boss on Stage 4 only to find out it's impossible with the Sword.

    That thing was amazing. I had more kills with it in both single and multiplayer than anything else.

    Most useless weapon I can think of is the Mongol rocket launcher from the total was medieval 1 expansion. Jesus that thing was awful. Was basically loaded with poor quality fireworks.

    The knife in Resident Evil (pre-Resi 4 era).

    You'd be suprised how useful it was for conserving ammo, particularly in Resident Evil 1. Few shots, wait till zombie goes down, equip knife and go in for the kill if still alive.

    The only aspect I didn't like about the knife was it took up a slot in the Inventory, I think they should have made it have a seperate slot item since each character had a tactical knife holder anyway. The fact it took up a slot in the inventory made people want to dump it in the inventory box ASAP

    Staffs in Oblivion.

    The Rock-it launcher in Fallout 3.

    Also, the flame thrower/freeze gun/tazer in Bioshock. Pointless, considering you could shoot all three, elements?, from your hands.

    I used that for almost the whole game. I used to collect the ammo(mostly tin cans) that I had just used to kill an enemy. Wait till enemy was close straight to V.A.T.S all head shots, and when Vats was used up, keep firing until they were dead. Granted near the end I had to use energy weapons.

    I think the main point of it was to be a callback to the first 3 games. CoD4 was the first game not to be WW2, and the MP44 was a pretty nice gun in the first 3 games.

    It totally needed to be there. Made people turbo rage when you went on massive killstreaks with it because they couldn't call you an m16 noob.

    The Wabbajack. Good fun but turned the fight against you more often than not.
