I can agree with the Flak Cannon being the best gun I've ever gotten my hands on in an FPS. The combination of close-range and mid-range were excellent. And it didn't require so much effort to aim and fire. Given it's the UT series, You need to be really fast with things, so things like the shock rifle aren't the best of choices when you're in a fire fight in close quarters, which most of the maps were, generally. A decent spread that could still hit an enemy completely at a fairly distant range, as well as an alt-fire to clean up anyone who gets out of that range, I love this gun.

This was a fictional 1999 weapon with mechanical plausibility, as well as having actual physical projectiles that have their own physics, can overpenetrate targets when they are still glowing hot, and embed into targets when cooled down to a slag ball. This shrapnel ricochets off of surfaces to encourage environmental resourcefullness and awareness of basic prediction and geometry. Primary fire pops the shell in-chamber to spray shrapnel from the source, and alt-fire chucks the shell like a mortar so it can hit the ground and not only do a basic AOE splash, but throw physics shrapnel too. Which again. Also abides by the molten vs cooled slag mechanic which dictates if this overpens or embeds. Cooler yet is that shrapnel that overpens becomes cooled by contact with player blood, but can still ricochet off of map geometry to hit a struck player a second time over. The exact moment at which the weapon is able to fire another shell is based on if its reload animation completed the process of physically chambering the shell into a forward position, where it is then locked in place. You can time your shot rhythm to this re-chamber anim for faster shots. This also has an audio cue for a shell being primed and ready to fire upon being locked into the chamber in case the player has hidden the viewmodel. The sound design is so synced and precise with the animation and cooldown of its attacks that you can always tell just what part of the animation and rechambering phase its in through sound alone, and know when that final hydraulic actuation noise is so that you can click on its completion. It really IS the best weapon in gaming history. Its not the most powerful by any means but its conceptually the most fun, thinking based, and badass. Like the biogun, and shock rifle, this makes up a core reason why Unreal's arsenal is for the thinking man, as opposed to quake being for the adrenaline fueled.

I utterly agree, the Flak Cannon was my favourite gun and brilliant. Well to me, the secondary fire was an explosive slug- which when a shotgun fires a slug. Gives it range up to 65 yards to rifle range. So this gun was perfect for CQB and distance shots. Personally, shotguns do need skill of gameplay (when you dont have slugs which need aim). Because you need to get close to people. But yup, Flak Cannon my favorite gun. Fusion Mortar was also mine in Tribes Ascend when I played ti

It shoots flak particles primarily, and secondary shoots a flak shell which explodes into a ton of flak particles. The Flak Shell arches quickly so the player has to calculate a parabola to hit a player. It is the most unique weapon in Unreal along with the Shock Rifle\ASMD which fires a electrical core(Secondary) that explodes if you fire at it with a Electrical beam(Primary). It is more fun to play a game when a single kill can be a serious challenge for a noobie. I started playing in 98'.

There was another game with a flak cannon or flak gun I played as a kid, I think it was on the N64 but I might be wrong. Instead of shooting an explosive that scattered into shrapnel at the point of impact, it was more like a shotgun that shot grey shrapnel that bounced off walls a bit. Which game was this?

It is a great weapon. I'm surprised you didn't mention the smiley face painted on the alt fire though! The major downside of the flak is that the primary weapon becomes very weak when you're exposed to lag. Personally, I think nothing beats the shock rifle. Primary fire for distance or quick reaction shots, secondary for close range and combine the two for the combo explosion. The combo gives such scope for creativity in kills and requires skill to use it on the move - nothing comes close!

Having played dozens and dozens of games, there are two sound effects that I know I'll remember for the rest of my life: the egon gun firing cycle (from HL) and the flak cannon equip sound. They may or may not be the best guns in their respective games, but if those sounds don't make you grow some extra chest hair nothing will. Add to that the dreaded smiley face on the flak cannon's grenade and the "oh shit" moments it creates (if you're close enough to see it, you will get rekt).

While its not a gun technically the Wraithverge from Hexen should be on the list also. Why? Because its a staff that shoots ghosts that tear enemies apart. Its one of the most original weapons in FPS games.

Unreal is built in such a way that the kills you get, are very valuable. It is much tougher to kill an opponent than it is in BF3. In BF3 your weapons are direct and easy to understand. You try and control the recoil and just aim. Unreal is basically going into a science of weapons and it takes half skill half strategy to use the weapons. And then you have to maintain the map because there is Armor and Shield modifiers that give the other player the advantage. It is the elitist of games...

I have a few modern games, I love them.But the talent it takes to play them will never amount to Quake and Unreal. In comparison to Unreal, BF3 & COD takes little to no effort to kill players. It does take tactical strategy, which I am well aware of. I learned a lot from games like ArmA and BF2 PR. But in a nutshell, no... I usually end up on the top in BF3 and COD. I still play Unreal 1, UT99 and Quake and there are still people that can whip my ass like chuck norris. Skill varies in Unreal.

This gun is easier to use than a combination of shotgun and grenade launcher. We don't need to switch guns and risk calling up another by accident. The ball of flak is also quite fast and its trajectory is therefore easy to estimate. Unreal was also somewhat ahead of its time when it made weapons with live projectiles that take time to move, including this shotgun.
