Self explanatory really... ::)

you left out my favorite gun >:(

you left out my favorite gun >:(
blaster?
anyways, luci cannon is my fav. hands down.
-
shotgun
-
<< Lasgun whore
-
What about just rifle?
-
LasGun, fast, accurate, no reload, not the most powerful, but if you use from a distance it can unnerve most Aliens.
-
Well, it depends what stage your at. If both are S1 then it is Shotgun. If we are s2 and AS1 Shotgun, Anything up Lusi or chaingun
-
Thread subject fixed.
Shotgun.
-
It really depends on the circumstances.
I am rather partial to the shotgun, though.
It's amazingly incredibly cheap, so you can damn near always afford to buy one.
It packs a rather nice punch within its effective range, and is effective against bigger bugs since their gigantic hitboxes soak up all the pellets.
I also rather enjoy the lasgun, and the pulse rifle when it's practical.
-
My favorite load out is: pulse, light armor, helmet, battery, grenade (optional).
this has killed many a base.
-
Shotgun, it's the only weapon bind I have. Although on the side it functions as a rifle, armor, helmet bind if I don't have enough for a shotgun and armor/helmet.
-
md is by far the best weapon...if you know how to use it. I bet if two humans were to try to kill each other, one w/md one w/luci, the md would win, just cause theluci is so slow.
-

This post is wrong in so many ways. No weapon is by far the best. An MD would not be first on any account except for killwhoring dretches (where the luci can probably do better) or maybe support (where the lasgun is probably just as good). If you are fighting goons and rants, MD is one of your worst choices in my opinion.
To be the most effective, it requires a battpack, which makes it cost 450. The shotgun is 3 times cheaper, and just as, if not more, effective as the MD (and even better than MD vs goons and rants) except for chasing. You don't have to spend as much for it either, and MD is a shaky buy in s1 vs goons. I would also choose the chaingun, which would cost less as well, over the MD in s2. It is, again, better vs the higher classes.
Also, this game is built for human vs alien, so using human vs human to compare weapons is extremely stupid.
So, you can choose MD as your favorite weapon, but it is not even in the running for the best weapon. Sorry.
-
Flamethrower (http://vietnamresearch.com/flame/info/flamethrower-boat.jpg) is by far the best weapon (http://forum.clanzerorisk.com/index.php/topic,857.msg12808.html#msg12808), in ever way. Pair it with a jetpack, and you're golden.
But seriously. I voted Flame. :-P
-
What the fuck. You left blaster, ckit, ackit, and rifle off. My four favorites.
-
shotty 4 life
-
Pain saw is cool. My favorite weapon on that list, probably. Shotty is probably my best though, but it gets boring using it.
-
Grenade. I'm special.
-
:o Hacks! Grenade r item!
-
Shotgun remains my favorite. Snap aiming at semi-instantaneous speeds to get kills gives me the opportunity to focus on dancing with my enemies, and I love dancing just as much as shooting.
However, I spread my time out a lot. Second favorite would be lasgun right now.
-
i voted lusi because it is effective. laz guns take forever to kill something with pluss you need really good aim and shotguns require quick reflexes and great aim. I use lusi because i have non of thoughs and have all you need for a lusi
timing and tracking.
-

You still need good dodging and a firm grasp of luci jumping. But yes, memorizing the luci speed is extremely important.
-
Where is the Blaster?
-
I voted shotgun... But I love MDing marauders and humuliating dragoons with the MD too... Lazar is good to pick off multiple aliens since high clip and no reload but not as effective as a few well placed shotgun shells. It's just easier ;)
(since luci hold'n'charge is deemed as a bug exploit and also removed I just use luci for basekilling and killwhoreing dretches :) )
-
What about the standard issue? It is the only one I had so far (beside the grenades).
Mine would be the flamethrower, because I like the smell of charred spiders in the afternoon.
-
OK, I've had enough of it. I add the Blaster to your broken poll.
-
Chaingun, otherwise las :)
-
OK, I've had enough of it. I add the Blaster to your broken poll.
Then you have to add rifle too. :)

-
My fav human weapon is sarcasm. (Or the md/lasgun... i wish that were one gun)
-
So...
Are you saying that you want a lasgun that shoots at MD speeds, or a MD that shoots at lasgun speeds?
Ckit still isn't on the poll, and people keep whining.
Then again, I would rather have an Ackit over a Ckit any day...

i think he means a laz gun that shoots laz gun stuff when you left click and mdriver stuff when your right click

Lmfao @ the other 2 asshats (http://www.ntoddblog.org/photos/atriots/asshat.jpg) who voted for the flamethrower.
-
flamers pack quite a puch if you can use them. ::) but mostly I see people roasting their own sorry asses with it ::) :D
-
The painsaw is pretty lethal when used well, it's quite possible (I've done this a few times :) ) to duel Dragoons and win, as long as you can dodge the pounces and get in the behind them. Infinite ammunition and very high damage make it great for cutting through bases, too. The Lucifer Cannon, while it's not a favourite weapon, it's highly useful for close range combat and for giving supporting fire at longer ranges, although the chaingun usually is effective for this. If you're going for close range combat (or the occasional, very lucky sniper-range shot :o ) against smaller aliens, in my opinion the shotgun is the way to go.
-
Chaingun, for its versatility. It can take down bases if necessary (at close range). Large aliens are toast from the knockback and dretches are easy to deal with. It is viable both at close and long range - damage output in close quarters is insane but since it's hitscan with high rate of fire and (relatively) small spread it's still possible to chase.
At 400 credits, it's cheaper than pulse (effectively 500).
-
Probably the painsaw. Even though I rarely use it now I still can't help but appreciate how much enjoyment I got out of sawing the alien base when I was first getting started (it was basically the only thing I could do considering I used to play on dialup).
-
Large aliens are toast from the knockback.
For me, chainguns are by far easier to eliminate rather than the Pulse Rifle. The Pulse Rifle's knockback, IMO is far greater and I can hardly ever kill a moderately experienced Pulse Rifle. Maybe I just suck... but hey, I try.
If you know how to use the Pulse, you're untouchable. Same with the Chaingun.
My favorite human weapon though is the MD, mainly because it requires a lot practice to get a hold of, and I appreciate its damage per round. My second would be the shotgun. Third being the lasgun and on down. I only use those three weapons for 90 percent of my playing, the rest are for base elimination.
-
Since when is the Ckit a weapon?
-
Maybe the blue light functions as a weapon, a tool of intimidation to make aliens back the fuck up. Right off into bottomless pits like those in Arachnid or Uncreation.
-
Since when is the Ckit a weapon?
It just takes a really long time to fire:
Build RC
Build turret
-

In this case, the turret is the weapon, it also recieves credit for the kills it makes.

shotgun! ;) comes at a cheap price and is useful for alot of situations.

Touche!

Stop flaming the flamer! heh..
But seriously, it is awesome for scaring off aliens if you need to open a blockade.
No weapon unnerves the alies, or postpones their attempts at killing you than the flamer. (maybe except the lucifer cannon.)
-
SHUTGUNZ!
-
For the instant stopping power there's nothing better than a well aimed shotgun, well, maybe half a dozen well aimed shotguns, you can easily hunt a tyrant with s2 humans that way.
-
Since when is the Ckit a weapon?
Ever since certain 'people' (noobs) invented a 'strategy' (gimmick) called ' defense' (camping) and needed a 'reason' (excuse) not to get 'harassed' (mocked) when they stay inside their 'base' (campsite).
-
I hate campers too but what are you supposed to do when building?! Build outside of where you want to build? Are you talking about people who prolong their building in certain ways or build when there's already a builder? btw I'm just confused not angered...
-
The rocket launcher.
-
Rifle.
-
Rifle
Cheap, accurate and deadly to anything en mass.
-
Lmfao @ the other 2 asshats (http://www.ntoddblog.org/photos/atriots/asshat.jpg) who voted for the flamethrower.
well it is one of the hardest weap to use it properly...
md is for killwhoreing :-\
so shotty (one of the best in team attack, no tk high dmg) and chain (best if you can dodge, for the one who first in the assault) <3
-
Rifle
Cheap, accurate and deadly to anything en mass.
I don't agree on the count of accurate, i find it forgivingly inaccurate, just blast it in the general direction of a dretch at distance and you'll more than likely hit it.

I'm not saying to hit dretches across transit, but if you have good aim, you kill dretches in 10 shots just about anywhere, and load a clip or 2 into mara/goon/rant.
-
/buy mgturret
lol for 150dps!
-
ACkit.
(Name) was gunned down by a turret.
-
Flamer. Extreemly efective against dretches. Fast to gain cash. Sweet for soloing. I didn't use it too much recently yet once i've soloed (1v3 :/) 2 tyrs and a goon and i m happy with that :). Also very efective against teammates if u have a bad day and every one is trying to make u angry. Also only weapon i find actualy efective to solo in human can.
Ps. sorry for my english.
-
Chaingun. 'cause blastin shit at a high rate of fire inaccurately is always fun, specially without a battle suit. :human:
-
Blaster. Cause i love getting called out for hax when i blast your dretch/basi/mara/goon/om/tyrant
-
rifle, shotgun
-
and besides... im a total camper, and to camp w/out the ckits you need a chain gun...
That is the true way to fight...LIKE A MAN!
-
Way to go, necro.
-
Lasgun FTW!
Virtually instantaneous hits, you have to aim ahead a bit at long distances but that isn't really a problem. I love it. :)
-
rifle, shoots fast, i can kill most dretches in <8 rounds. yep.
-
grenade because its so rewarding to kill those camping humans base! unfortunately now they have revert :-[

-
Mass Driver- I would have to say is the most fun
shotgun- Its good but the spread extremely frustrates me.
-
shotgun
-
I'd have to say the flamethrower. You can run around massacring aliens without damaging yourself too much.
-

Or you could just grab a chainsuit and run around massacring aliens without damaging yourself AT ALL.
-
True. But I'm a pyromaniac, so...I'll stick with my flamethrower.
-
Don't really have a single favourite human weapon. I like the chaingun, lasgun and shotgun equally.
-
chain ownz all you can take down a tyrant with a third of its ammo
-
Flamethrower - it's a scare weapon.
-
I voted las. It's a great any range any class chaser. The flamer is, indeed, a weapon great for scare tactics. I've kept everything from dretches to rants out of the base just by swinging my flamer around outside the turrets.

Often goons understimate the power of heat. They just jump around trying to get a hit. When they are low, they try to escape and are being catched by a skillful wielder burning their backs.
-
i've hunted down tyrants with flames ;D good eatenz too
-
The most effective weapon is the Chaingun. Even though its more expensive than the shotgun. It could take down mosh rants and goons that you will face.
-
Goon + Two Shotties = Run
-
the weapon: grenade. naked dance, chaingun rythms, alien roars and screams -----> BOOOOM! -------> perfect silence.
-
dat was poetic
i really liked it
i had a moment
-
rifle is my favorite because it is accurate at medium range, it is hitscan, it is effective agents small aliens, it is great for chancing down big aliens, and it is free ;D! I do use other weapons of course during s1 i try to stick with the rifle unless none of my teammates have shotguns to kill the goons. During s2 i use a shotgun with larmor and a helmet because it is cheep and effective. For s3 i eather go with a chainsuit or Lusi helmet battpack and larmor depending on the other teams skill.
-
:battlesuit: + Chaingun
or
:helmet: + :jetpack: or :battpack: + Las Gun
it's - better weapons
-
*groan* Wasnt this thread peacfully passing away?
I wouldn't call eleven days a necro, but the Doctor is certainly in.
-
Well since i killed :advmarauder: :basilisk: :dragoon: :dretch: :granger: :marauder: :tyrant: x20 as3 with chainer
CHAINGUN + :battlesuit: is my fave
Chainer 4 life (+ :battlesuit:)

Not so! I've found a particularly dangerous specimen (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=8740.0)...

He plays on GameArena. He is invalid.
-
Awww. I was hoping to knock him around a bit with my iron fist of harsh antispam.
-
Real men play on TremWars.
-
Then he isn't a real man!
-
My point exactly.
-
Why is it that only 4 people voted for the obvious best weapon?
-
lolz.
Blasters are actually decent, they work brilliantly as lure for newbs... like me :'(
-
Actually I'm surprised Luci Cannon only got 9 votes considering how much I see it in game.
-
Cheers to whoever voted rifle.
-
Shotgun. Dakka dakka.
-
The Shotgun, hands down. Who hasn't killed a "superior" alien with a SG?
-
I don't know. The shotgun is kinda group-only unless you fight newbies.
The flamethrower on the other hand lets me kill rant after rant and snipe after snipe with only one refill 8-=P
-
Tie between LasGun and Chaingun. Chaingun wins because of more awesomeness.
-
Then he isn't a real man!
That is bs i play on Trem wars alot and i ve stoped usin xD

Doesn't the Rifle look more realistic, since the I ain't never seen a Shotgun with such an awesome top-loading system.
-
Luci Cannon because i can use it in all situations. Killing small and medium aliens in close range with ease. It's only the big aliens that i have trouble with if i'm doing 1 vs 1. They seems to have too much hp for one battlesuit with Luci Cannon to handle up close alone.
-

regardless of the autoloading system, shottys better and rifle sucks you know that
This is a boring post. :-X
-
Painsaw fkn owns
how many times ive blocked a rant wit a psaw
priceless
-
I find that the Luci is the most fun to use. It costs a bitch load, decked out with a helm, battpack, larmour & a gren - this hightens the stakes for me.. making me feel all that much better then I humiliate that Tyrant 1v1 with two both lucky/well placed shots.
I find that shotgun owns the most(cheap, high dmg, suprises aliens, snap shots- give you time to think when soloing 3-4 aliens). Believe it or not.. It's good[alright] for base killing. Shock-horror, it reloads and isn't long range.. Your team needs to rush with you for you to base kill with it! D:[wtfhax?]
I voted Luci.
-
Flamethrower, as it produces a wall of of solid "GTFO".
Personally, I think the luci's one-hit kill for anything lwer than a gon makes it hard for aliens in hs3 to get enough evos to level up while everyone lucispams away, that and I despise it's effing sond effect.

Have you ever stood in the path of a shining lucy ball, growing bigger and bigger as it roams your way and while it misses you only by a few inches you hear that amazing high energy, highly distorted swishhhhhhhhh sound passing the backside of your skull....
I love it.

shotgun against s1 and s2 aliens, pulse/chaingun against s3 aliens.
-
rifle is my favorite
its free, its the fastest gun, and if u can get 2 other people with u during s2 or s3, its pretty fun stuff
also, 3 riflesuits pwn anything lolol
-
nothing beats a good-old shotgun, even polls apparently 0.o
-
Chainsuit, Hands down.
-
Rifle, Why ? Inexpensive, accurate and a great support weapon. If I fire in accurate bursts I can down at least two dretchs at once =D.

i hardly play at all on X a little more on L once on H but i mostly around A and P but i cannot connect to X websites or games any more and no one knows why..
back to the poll...when is there gunna be one for aliens?
-
Well this is actually a hard question to answer. It depends what mood I am in. If I am ready to rape then I like the shotgun..4sure...but if I am just bored or some shit I use the massdriver. The luci if I am ready for the game to be over.
-

-
It's got to be the psaw, I get like 5 kills a minute on a good day, just awesome....
-
I can't decide between psaws, flamers, and lucies... Mwhaahahhahahaha
Psaws
- Incredibly fast damage, can pwn goons head-on
- Unlimited ammo
- Effective in hallways and stairs, where aliens can't typically run away
- Fun with friends
- Great for blocking
Flamers
- NOT FOR TYRANTS
- Great for backpedaling
- You can annoy the hell out of goons
- Also great for blocking
Lucies
- Obviously much more powerful
- Lucy-jumping in ATCS can get you from one side of the bunker to the opposite side on top of the bunker
- Backfiring easily kills dretches, basis, and maras
- Goons are self-explanatory
- Blastertoggling is fun
I didn't put much thought into this post, so don't kill me please.
I plan to specialize in every weapon that doesn't act like a gun.

Ckit is much more powerful than even a luci. It just takes a lot longer to deal any damage.
-
The ckit itself has no attack even though it leads to defensive/offensive gameplay. That's all I'm saying.

You are attacking by building turrets and than having them shoot at aliens. ::)
It can deal a ton of damage, never needs to reload, and is free!
-
Yet the buildings are stationary (extremely slow to move if a builder is offensively building), so the aliens must will themselves to get near these "weapons" and be attacked by them. In other words, the weapon is dependent on the aliens' decision to get near turrets/teslas/reactor.
;D

true but they must get near to attack....humans or buildings

DANG MD's!
wait....You're Trackpadpro.....That explains the pro md-ing....

I really like the las gun. If you're good, you can harass aliens from across the map without even having to get close.
I like to use the jet pack with it 8).

Could be any of them. My guess is it's more likely a mod than a dev, because they like to use their authoratah to mod the forums.
-
I like :human:Lasgun :human: because its so easy to use and i don't like complicated things.

Mods don't have any rights resembling editing any member info. Don't think most devs have those either, but not so sure about that.

Oh don't start this with me.
1) That's not tremulous.net, that's superpie.info
2) I'm a mod, so if I say mods can't do it

I state with certainty it's not something inherent to the moderator group.

super nice shoop bro

It's hard to say.. In 1.1 , definitely the shotgun.
Of course, different weapons have different ups and downs though: for base-killing, I like the pulse-rifle. For killing, I like the shotgun or the lasgun
-
>>>Flamer.
I used to be able to do killing sprees about 10 per life with it, no bsuits. And i mostly end up dying to no ammo, or no medi, so i toast myself to get back to base. (you see, enough creds anyways for another flamer)

Chaingun is the ultimate all-around weapon which is also the only weapon that gets better with stages!

the chaingun is the best "GTFO from my base!" gun

SHOTGUN WINS ;D
-
blaster and grenade are the way to go. haha
jk i usually use the shotty with helmet and the light armor. and go onto a wall and try to jump dretches. That lines them up perfectly for a shotgun shot
-
Man, I can't choose. I <3 Rifles. I <3 MDs. I <3 Shotguns. Those are my 3 favorites. I dont care for lucis. The only time I chain is if im going chainsuit, and need to protect base or something. Las guns (as stated in my sig) are a woman's weapon. "Las" gun. I always try to point out how underrated rifles are. 150 dmg per clip. Burst fire. And need I remind you how much they cost? People like to argue with me that las is better than rifle. FALSE. Las only does slightly more damage. AND its 250 creds. I would rather keep the almost as good rifle, for 0 creds. I go through different phases. Sometimes I use only rifles, sometimes only shotties, and sometimes only MDs. And obviously as stated, it depends on what you want do do with it. If you are after goons, go shotty of course. If you are in the mood for sniping dretches, the Mass Driver is obviously your weapon of choice. Of if you want a combination of the two, rifle for the win. I dont know if I could chose between these 3 but if you had a gun to my head (hopefully youd be using a blaster) I would probably go with the md.
-
Lasgun is superior than rifle because of the fact that it provides you with uninterrupted fire for as long as you have ammo. Combine that with battpack, and it's even more effective.
That being said, shottie and MD do more damage per shot, and are what I would pick.
-
The Laz Gun also kills Dretches slightly faster than MG. But still, the free cost definately makes MG a valuable weapon to learn.
I love the MG for its burst-fire, but that's probably just because of my Counter Strike roots.
CS made burst-fire feel like a form of art.
-
Back in the day I was strictly an MD guy, which is basically why I burst fire. I treat it like an md. Also, I dissagree that las kills dretches faster. Rifle fires faster and only takes 5 bullets to kill a dretch. I say its about even.

Honestly, I don't play Humans a lot on 1.1 so I could be wrong, but I thought one laze blast killed dretches.
Sometimes I'll get lucky and the human's MG burst will only clip my Dretch, leaving it with like 5-10hp and the chance at another head-bite (because not everyone is good enough to use an MG as an MD ;)). That was basically what I meant by "faster". But if Laz needs more than one pop to kill a Dretch, then you're right. It is about even.
In fact, I think I'll go consult the manual real quick and find out...
AND LATER
I couldn't find the damage for weapons listed in the manual :'(
I used "Search" to check the forum but still couldn't weed it out. Did I just not look hard enough?
CONCLUSION:
In the end, I think my point comes down to this:
If your a noob human, Laz Gun is an easy way to kill Dretches and assist when rushing because it doesn't require reloading and it's an extremely accurate ranged weapon.
But if you're a pro like Bauer, the Laz Gun is simply a waste of money.

Be pro and read the source code. ;)
From tremulous.h: The lasgun takes 3 shots of 9 dmg to kill a dretch, rifle takes 5 shots of 5 dmg. The lasgun has a repeat rate of 200ms, the rifle has 90ms. Therefore, with a rifle, the dretch is dead 360ms after you start shooting, or 400ms with the lasgun (assuming 100% accuracy).
Its pretty comparable on those numbers, the difference is that the lasgun doesn't have to spend nearly half its time reloading. And can use a battpack for extra ammo. And has zero spread.
-
I think the basic rifle is doubtless the best human weapon. It's free, accurate, and does quite a lot of damage. You can carry 750 damage-worth of ammo for it.

Well, damn. Thank you, Jez, for clearing that up.
Now that I've really thought it through, one laz blast killing a Dretch would basically make the Laz gun a fully-auto MD.
LOL... Considering how much I like to play Aliens, I'm glad I was wrong.

You could read the stickies instead of the code. http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=509.0

Good advice. And thanks for the link. I thought I had seen the weapon info on the forum before, just couldn't remember what it was posted under.
-
the rifle, it's dependable in most situautions.

+1 I love you Aelita.
ps you watch Code Lyoko? I loved that show.
where does it show now? it was only on cartoon network.

Mass Driver. According to tremstats, I have more massdriver kills than kills as an alien >_> I need to play them more k.
On a second note, if Saliva.ddos votes in this, he better choose ckit.
-
I want to see Friend Granger in this! He is a very vital weapon for protecting humans.
-
for protecting humans
...from themselves, rather.
-
chaingun will massacre ANYTHING but only useful w/bsuit
lasgun is the best all around weapon
luci is good too
-
shotgun, with grenade
Because that combination is good for raiding an alien base cheaply, and repeatedly
-
Chaingun, because once you've learned how to compensate for the recoil, and actually know how to dodge there's no need for a battle suit.
-
Why is the grenade not an option? I get more kills with it than some of you with shotties :D
-
I do not think it was very pleasant.
