What was your favorite gun in hl2?

[st0lve]

Shotgun with doubble burst.

magnum was better in hl1, where u could zoom.

Best gun in hl2 is the crossbow

[hamst3r]

i really loved the shotgun for its power...but then again the magnum for its power and accuracy...

You could only zoom in multiplayer, so it's irrelevent when comparing singleplayer aspects. HL2's magnum is just the finest thing since sliced bread, with the boomstick coming a close second.

the magnum was amazing, but i also like that futuristic smg's alt-fire. i don't know what it does, but its fun to watch it bounce around

[Taylor]

Shotgun.

But let it known that none of them were overly special.

[GrayFox]

MP7's grenades.

[FrieChamp]

Shotgun and Magnum. I never managed to kill somebody with the new crossbow, it seriously blows now imo D:

I always used the magnum for sniping

[GrayFox]

What's wrong with the crossbow? Works every time for me...

[tnoh]

it's fun to nail enemies on the wall with crossbow, so yeah, it's pretty cool

[KidDynamite]

ya sticking guys to the walls/cielings is fun with the crossbow too

[FrieChamp]

I just thought it was useless for sniping :-?

[ShaDoW]

True, a good sniping weapon should be quick. When you tried to snipe a moving target from long-range with the crossbow... let's just say it wasn't too easy.

Using the HEV zoom and the magnum worked best for me in terms of picking off enemies from a distance.

I love the HEV zoom. I find myself hitting 'z' in other games as well because I want to have a closer look at something without moving over there

[MagicTMP]

i liked the photon automatic rifle thing that the combine police drop when you get out of ravenholm and pass the snipers. i thought it was cool. but then again, nothing beats the old shotgun and magnum.
