huh, not many voters......

i used to like pistols but somehow changed into a double shotgun loving nut. BFG is also quite nice, plasma not so nice.

Thanks for voting!

wow, massive poll....but where are the results?

and it looks like people like chainguns a lot. I've never understood how you can use a chaingun when a shotgun, which disregards accuracy is available. Oh, well....

Pure, concentrated damage dealing power.
Shotguns have to deal with barrels. Chainguns tend to not. Also, a chaingun, with EE2 and SoB does pretty awesome damage.

I am sorry for posting with such a closed mind, i just tried a game focused around chainguns, and they aren't too bad, but because i'm used to shooting in the dark a lot, i run out of ammo quite quickly, something a shotgun would be more efficient in. Oh, well, can't have them all.

Also, is this a small forum or what? Only 15 people have voted so far, and this has been up for more than a week!

It is a small forum, ja.
And, really, it's hard to run out of chaingun ammo, considering everything drops it. Pick up 3 stacks and tote those around. It's worth it.

totally off topic, but i didn't want to start a new post:

I've been trying to win AoLT for some time now, and what bugs me, is that if i go HMP, i can get the chaingun before hell's arena, but it's quite hard and the furthest i've gotten is lvl 10. If i go HNTR, i have to brave Hell's Arena, and i hate those cacodemons. Shotgun isn't much of an option, because shottyman + double shotty burns the shells real quick and i'm not sure how many power cells to keep and rockets.

The results are some pages further. Just browse through the topic and you'll come across it. ;)

    Plasma, because when faced with the hordes of hell, nothing  beats the incredible heat of the core of a star. Where is the rocket launcher on the poll? Also I know there are those out there that play melee games with just fists :D

There, added rockets. I hardly ever use them, and when i do, it's usually for blowing up obstacles or when i know i can tank the blast and my enemies can't. Plasmas.... well, i guess they're an upgrade to the chaingun even if they use more valuable ammo.

I do love me my shorguns, but I had to dither a bit over pistols, and rocket launchers. Rokkits are too awkward to make regular runs with, but just sometimes, I like to go blow away everything.

Including myself and all the loot, eventually.

Maybe i haven't played enough AoMr to understand why people like pistols so much.
