Weapon of Choice

[Arnox]

What's your UT2004 weapon of choice?
Redeemer is not a valid choice!

In both UT99 and UT2004 I find myself always coming back to the Flak Cannon and the Rocket Launcher with the occasional Minigun.

The problem with me and the Shock Rifle is that I tend to move around and dodge very fast... which is very bad news for my hitscan weapon accuracy.

I'm pretty darn good at leading up shots with the Flak Cannon and Rocket Launcher, though, so you know what they say. Stick with what you know.

I prefer the impact hammer but Id like a disarm mod though.

Flak Cannon, nuff said...

For long distance I use Shock Rifle, Minigun for defense and Rocket Launcher if I really need to put the serious hurt to someone...other weapons I pretty much ignore unless I have nothing else around.

Shock.

It's all you need. You can shock tape at any distance and the closer you get, the easier it is.

See avatar.

Mostly because it makes people rage. I technically do a little better with rockets, but I find link primary by far the most fun to work with. Most say spam, I say suppressive firing and herding.

I also catch myself making demonic gunfire music and its fun.
If I had a music weapons mod Id be pretty happy!

Flak in UT2004, and Lightning Gun and Flak in UT2003.

If you have an X-Fi card, you get it with the X-Fi Patch for UT2004.

I like the rocket launcher for medium range combat.
I am always jumping and dodging so loading up two or three rockets and sending them in a spiral toward an enemy works best.

Same, I have pretty good accuracy with it. I really got pretty pro with the Flak too. I fail at spamming though, I usually just kill myself.

Well, if you want to do more damage then yes, that's the way to go but I like to launch them in a spread pattern so there's less of a chance of me missing.

 

[Turbo K]

Yes, but if the other person keeps jumping and dodging, I calculate where he will be and when, then launch my double or triple spiral and the precise moment. Then Boom! I get another point.
The shock rifle is good at medium range, but I seem to have trouble getting the spheres placed in the right spot before I detonate them.

This music weapons should damage all enemies that hear it
and dont use their mute item.

Agreed. As I said though, I suck with shock combos (well, not terribly) and 50% of a shock rifles functionality is in the combos so it's not a good weapon for me. I could practice a lot to get good with it I guess but why should I when I'm already a pro with the ballistics? (Minigun/Flak/Rockets)

Agreed...UT2004's weapon = meh...

It gets a little annoying when you join a server and all everyone uses is shock beams.

Take out the Minigun and fill their screen with red.

 

[Turbo K]

They call me all kinds of names for doing that. It's really fun when I pull out the link gun and start firing the link bolts at them. It catches them off guard and the normally useless link gun gets me a couple frags.

 

[Arnox]

Online I use the ASMD, but only because everyone else is using it. I hate that - UT2004 might as well be restricted to Hitscan arena as far as most online players seem to be concerned. It makes the game very dull indeed.

Well you know where that comes from. All the pros just couldn't get enough of the Shock Rifle plus with all the weeaboo aimbot fags and I guess everyone else thought that if everyone's using it then it must be better than everything else.

Somebody needs to show these kids a little something with the Flak Cannon or Pulse Rifle or anything that's not the Redeemer or Shock.

Depends on the requisites.

1 weapon only - shock
-It's the most overpowered/useful weapon in 2k4

Map dependent - lg or shock
-Lots of turns, not as many open areas, lots of z-axis play such as Roughinery - lg
-Something that is open such as Rankin - shock

Situational dependent(a stretch for the topic) - lg, shock, flak
-Even if you hit every shock against a good flak user, you'll still get raped if he's in close where he can't get pushed away. Think you're both by the 100 in Rankin.
-Shock for decently large open areas like the Shock area in Rankin
-Lg is good for picking and out angling people when they have an armor stack where you don't want to face them straight on.
