For weapons, Ol' Painless in Fallout 3 was so much fun, so deadly and useful, not much help with giant radscorpions though.

For units, in Age of empires II there was a cheat that gave you a Cobra car with machine guns in the headlights, which was great fun until an enemy converted the stupid thing and turned it against you. Also, in Men of War, there is the T29, which is the size of a house and has a cannon the size of a telephone pole, two of those coming at you is freaky as hell.

My favourite weapon is either Gravity Guns or the Nail Gun in Crackdown that nailed people to objects, a weapon Killzone 2 has now got.

What I have yet to see is two people wrecking havok with two gravity guns, maybe flanking an enemy, and using the grav gun on him, tearing him in two.

Cerebral Bore. End of discussion.


That or one of many Duke Nukem Weapons (Shrinker, Expander, Freeze Ray, Devestator) or the BFG from Doom.

P90 with silencer in CoD4, I just love the way it shoots.

Coolest unit would have to be my current vehicle in Banjo & Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. ;)

Super Gravity Gun from HL2.

So over-powered that the last portions of the game became a cake-walk.

Sweet, sweet delicious cake... mmmm...

I dig the Railway Rifle from Fallout 3.  Wouldn't say it's my favorite weapon simply because I can't think of enough cool shit to narrow it down to one favorite.

They have board games that were converted to video games in the past. Those have units. Precursors to RTS I guess.

Pandora from DMC4, a demon suitcase with 999 methods of execution. Granted, you only had access to like six different modes in the actual game but that didn't stop me from imagining the other 990+ surprises Pandora had instore. They could put Pandora in every DMC game and reroll it everytime.

One of my favorite weapons was the Speargun from the Alien vs Predator game, mainly because it sent them flying to the wall or if you got a headshot their head would fly off and stick to a wall. I'm also a fan of any sticky grenade, those things are just down right fun.

As for unit I'd have to go with the Titans from Age of Mythology
