    Has anyone else gotten the infinite chainsaw from replaying Harry's mansion?  You would think it would be awesome, you have to replay one of the later stages all the way to the end, and it's a god damned chainsaw in a "zombie" game.  It's a pretty accepted formula that chainsaw + zombie = insta-gib.  This thing blows beyond belief.  It's almost silent, the blades don't move at all, and at least on hard you have to hold down the button for a good ten to fifteen seconds to kill a single enemy.  If you thought the flamethrower was unsatisfying, this thing achieves new and terrifying levels of suck.  The weed whacker sucks, but at least it's a joke.

    The worst weapon in video game history IMO is.. The flamethrower.

    The flamethrower is, shockingly, much better than the chainsaw.  While boring and unsatisfying, it at least lets you attack more than one enemy at a time and can be useful on the wall crawlers.

    Taking more than one enemy at once takes all the fun out of it :P I wanna give each fucker his torture time ;)  Good point about the wall crawlers though haha, i'll make sure to have the flamethrower on my back in case a certain game has many... spiders.

    The only one being tortured with this chainsaw is the player.  Staring at bright purple pixelated blood splatter minutes at a time to clear a level is damn near unbearable.

    I haven't gotten the chainsaw, but the weed whacker really is pretty good. Dunno what you're talking about. 3 seconds or so and the epilogue zombies are down, and those are some tough bastards. Takes around 150 SMG bullets to kill those guys, with most of those being headshots. You can also sometimes hit multiple enemies with with the weed whacker, and it's got more range than they do.

    @mutha3: I did, but once I got the last card and the achievement, I started a new game on normal so I didn't get the final item.  I'm going for the full 1000, and I'm learning to despise non-stacking achievements with the heat of a thousand suns.  Also, I hate myself.

    That sounds awful, you're really missing out bro!:P I can't get over how fucking cool it is that this game has that weapon
     
    On that note: I'm glad I could not care less about achievements.

    @mutha3: It's not even the achievements, I just want to be one of the handful of people in the world that would actually bother.  It's like a combined badge of shame and honor.

    I think the worst weapon in video game history is any weapon from Warhammer 40k: Fire Warrior. Believe me. Actually, no - torrent that shit and try for yourself.

    Weed whacker really does have some advantages though. Not only does it have more range, but it starts attacking instantly, whereas the laser sword has a bit of delay before it hits. You're also pretty screwed if you miss twice in a row with that thing (which can be surprisingly easy, at least compared to the WW). There's a long pause after the second swing.  No problem at all with the weed whacker, as it just keeps on going as long as you hold the button.
     
    Once again - I haven't tried the chainsaw, but I definitely place my vote for the weed whacker as the best melee weapon out there. Much easier to get than the sword, too.
