What weapons do you want to see?

We all got games we want to see or want to make, but what weapons do you all want?  And dont keep this limited to first-person shooters, either, lets get other genres such as adventure or RPG weapons too.

I would really like to see a game steal the chainsaw sword from Heavy Metal: FAKK...that thing was so cool.

Also, a grappling-hook type weapon would be really cool (something akin to the barnacle from Opposing Force, only not insta-kill lol).  Just imagine having the grappling hook in your left hand, pulling some guy off a battlements above you to his death 50 feet below.  Or even better, imagine grabbing someone off the top of a flight of stairs, pulling them towards you, then sinking a knife into his throat or chest.  This would be pretty cool in an RPG or ninja type game.

I'd also like to see a C4 gun.  Idunno, maybe make it like a potato gun so it shoots balls of plastique with compressed air and a detonator molded inside of it.  Imagine shooting like 5 or 6 enemies with the thing then detonating them at the same time.  It'd be like the Crysis sleepy gun only they would blow up instead of, errrm, going to sleep.

I want to see more six-shooters. 

Oh and cowbell.

PSPs
Throwable game manuals
Beat down, using the mouse
Clubbing people with doors. (like in D&D, the amazing cracked door of justice, +5)

lol cowbell

 I want a flail that can rip people up and also chuck them 10 ft anywhere.

I would like to see a gun kind of like a harpoon gun with a rope attached to it where it shoots out and then once it rips through something you can press a button to pull it back.  Maybe the gun could even have special attachments like different harpoons maybe a grenade harpoon.  There could be special kills like shooting a guy in the hand ripping his hand off then pull it back and throw it at him.  yeah that would be pretty cool.

Flame throwers are always awesome. The best I have ever seen was in Painkiller Battle out of Hell. :shock: beautiful flame and heat distortion effects. Also, it's always a good day on the computer when you can rid the gaming world of Demon Nazis.

Other weopons. More FPSs need swords.

Also, some sort of gravity gun-esque thing that allows you to pull apart your opponents like in Cellfactor: Revolution. :o PHYSX KILL!

Unique weapons that change entire dynamics of games.. Think the leap from projectiles to grenades.. Now we need a new one! It's really not as impossible of a thought as it may seem, it's just something we've never even been able to imagine, but it'll be something.. When trying to think of new weapons you almost always take considerations from other weapons that have been made, or the common effects of physics that we use to do damage to people, but I'm sure there's more than what seems so obvious. I could be wrong :p Part of my living philosophy is to greatly respect the impossible power of my own ignorance to what is truly possible in this world, and that no matter how much everything may seem like we know or concieve anything reasonably possible, there's infinitely more. And not just suble variations to everything, but wildly different things, somehow.

Liiike..  Disco moves that cause the enemies to reel back in pain! Hard to imagine anything more than like.. All the weapons in Unreal Tournament and all the different things and weapons in HL and Prey, and even the affliction based attacks that no real game has ever really used such as a complex curing system.. Where most games may have some sort of poison, and maybe disease, and you must drink antidote or cure disease magic or get blessed.. Some Muds I've played have tons of different forms and types of afflictions, each of which have their own cures such as smoking pipes, rubbing salves, drinking cures, spells that cure.. So defense is a huge part of the game besides just dodging..

But as I was saying, hard to imagine there's anything more than all that.. Seems to encompass everything possible.. And the fact that 'normal' force and gravity are the only two forces that seem to exist in the world, cutting, stabbing, piercing, bullets, explosions, weather effects, etc seem to  be the only possible things ever that could be used as a weapon.. But our minds have been completely blown so many times with something that could never be thought possible, a whole new dimension of a way of thinking about a certain concept that just wowed everyone... So I think there could be more than that.. maybe.. :p

Freaking brilliant, dude!  A harpoon gun would be awesome.  And ya, different ordinance for the harpoons would be sweet as well.  Just imagine sticking an enemy with a manual-detonated grenade harpoon and watch him or his friends run toward eachoither then "click" BOOM!

I'd prefer more games to take the approach used in Condemned: Criminal Origins (and probably others before it) where you can take things out of the environment to use as weapons: rip a section of pipe off the wall, pick up a piece of wood with nails, pick up rubble off the floor and throw it, shatter a glass window and pick up the pieces to use as a temporary dagger.  Taking that idea further, allowing the player to pick up a few different items and make their OWN weapons - for example, assemble a spear out of a pole, a dagger (or a piece of sharpened metal) and some string.  Having the ability to make traps in the same way (I believe Far Cry instincts had some kind of trap-laying ability).  With better physics in games these days, it should be possible to enable the player to make their own physics-based traps - and this would also introduce the idea of luring enemies into terrain you have selected as a 'killing zone', rather than always being drawn along a linear pathway.  Of course, this idea would only fit certain types of games.

I would like any type of a blade, but with a grapple move, and you cut through the person's body by directing the blade yourself. Would be tons of fun and varied, not just the same crap over and over. lots of blood and entrails

 And if you were real sick, you could eat the flesh and stuff.
