crap weapons?

So which weapon in any TM do you hate? Or like the least?

These are the weapons that you would fire off as soon as possible to allow room for other ones that you prefer to use or fit your fighting style.

I'm going to say the Roman Candle weapon from TMSB.

Anyone feel that it was just a slower cross between a rico and a speed missile from the 'other' TM's?

Never liked those bastard balls and would hate them even more cos they would fill up your inventory very easy and getting the lot back off again could take some time.

Anyone else hate any one weapon then??

it's funny you mention that, because I was playing SB yesterday and i was thinking about how much I used to hate them. They're quite more skillfull than you'd think, if you take the time to use them. In the beginning though, I was just as irritated with them as you were.

TBH, I can't think of any weapons I hate. There were a lot of useless ones in TM1, but playing the games religiously has made it so I've learned to use all the weapons appropriately.

Before TM2PC I used to hate Napalm as well. I do have to give it credit though in TM2PSX, because, the range on the napalm was changed a bit, so they're easier to land from a closer distance.

yeah, maybe I need to give the balls a little more love.

I used to fire them as fast as I could and try to get the odd angled shot but couldnt get it right often.

My SB playstyle was to grab as many Powers as possible then fill up with Homers and Fires- and doll heads were last.

I will go back to SB soon as I do with all of them and I'll try to give the candle shots a bit more time.

I agree about many of the weapons in TM1 though, I think quite a few were made without much thought at the time though a couple like the oilslick and catapult can come in handy on the rooftops.

Those old TM2 napalms were very satisfying when you could land a hit but I nearly always saved those for Dark Tooth only (for obvious reasons)

handy in certain levels as well though.

I loved napalms Smiley

I cant think of any that I actually hate.. I'd fire off ricos when I got them for the simple that they'd build up steam and I was always good at not kicking my own ass with them

Cousin Eddy's and Thumpers upgraded Specials in TM:HO and Warthog's special in Black.  I hate the fire stream, because it's so hard to actually use on anyone.

Oh and remote bombs, because half the time I blow myself up along with the enemy.

Spectre's gay ass special homing missile that travels through anything. Although, I did think it was fun there after a while playing one vs. ones on TMBO with Spectres because all the good TMA players would just save AA for when their opponent used his/her special because you would have plenty of time to shield before it hit due to it being easy to hear coming. So, the strategy became getting in very close and using it really quickly before someone had time to shield against it, which was cool because it made people play more confrontationally with Spectre and became a game of anticipating when the opponent was going to use it because you didnt want to misjudge and waste a shield. Ah....good times.
