with shottyman mine's double shotty
but without it's combat shotgun

[Doops]

In all the Doom FPS games my favorite weapons were the chaingun and chainsaw. My favorite is a modded out Minigun. Sucks when I don't find one or aren't doing a MAc build.

It doesn't matter how powerful you are, I can blow your brains out from outside your range of vision and I can feel where you are in the level. There's no hiding from me when I- *Explodes in a pillar of Vile Fire*

Definitely shotgun, but that's because a) normal/combat/double give a lot of utility and b) it's the only weapon-type, aside from rocket launcher, I really have an understanding of.  My pistol/rapid-fire runs have ended stupidly.  I think it's that middle bit of the game that I struggle through the most with pistol/rapid-fire, since in the first case, I'm hoping for a unique and decent levels, and in the latter case, I am praying for an early plasma rifle.

Shotgun
The amount of damage in close quarters
Scoutability
And I've always loved them in every FPS anyways.

Missile launcher.

Call me crazy but the fact you get 4 shots extreemely deadly shots, ability to gib, make new routes, and that its moddable to hell and back and quarenteed to get in the wall, it is definatly has gained my top seal of approval for the most verstile and deadly weapon to use for middle levels and hell.

I'll admit that S-Class weapons are good in close quarters and for control of weak or unarmored crowds, but my style of play is to never have a crowd to deal with and to never be in close quarters - hence my problems with the mindset needed to survive AoB - therefore, if I'm in a situation where a shotgun is optimal then I've screwed up royally and probably need to die anyway.

Missile Launcher and other Rocket Launching P-Class Weapons aren't my cup of tea (not that I drink tea), but they are better-suited for my style of play since I don't have to get all up in that Mancubus' face to get the most out of my Launcher.

Not without incident.

If we're talking just normal weapons, then pistols are definitely my favorite.  It's a shame that they're really hard to work with on harder difficulties.  With a little modding and maxed damage traits, you get a good knockback half the time which, with the insane firing rate, almost always guarantees protection...so long as you don't move.  Not a lot of damage output but it's very safe by the time you get it going.  Gun Kata...lacks damage.  And of course, there are a lot of pistol uniques, so that only helps out a pistol build.

If we're talking any weapon at all, my definite favorite is the Railgun, with assault shotgun as a close second.  Railgun is absolutely sick in the right situations, not to mention it blows through walls with certainty (goodbye rockets) and gibs multiple weaklings in a row.  The damage per cell also beats the rifle, so it's just amazing.  Assault shotgun, for one, is fully moddable now, which can turn that weapon into pure bliss, and the sick reloading was always awesome.

Shotgun.
especially Double Shotgun. this weapon is my favorite.
BANG BANG! (i'm korean so plz forgive my bad english. :( )

[The DoomRLguy]

BFG!

Um, I just realised I'mthe only one to choose BFG. XD

[Angles of death]

I quite like the bfg too The DoomRLguy but my favorite exotic is probably the missile launcher or the assault shotgun but my all time favorite weapon is the mighty railgun because it is so powerful,shame i have only ever used it twice.

[Garlyle]

I've come to realise that I love the Shotgun.  Not the Assault Shotgun or Double Shotgun, but just the standard Shotgun.  It's probably because I'm playing on easier levels, but yeah, for some reason I just like it a whole lot.

...Favourite Exotic at the moment is hands down the Super Shotgun after getting my hands on one during an AoSG attempt.  The only reason I lost that thing was not paying attention to my health while trying to take down ArchViles and not realising I was almost dead until I had moved with only 12% health left, which was enough to be killed. (And I had like ten Large Medkits so really it was just my own stupidity).
Seriously though that thing is wicked powerful 8D

[Angles of death]

There's a super shotgun?Me wants! (edit)I checked the damage of that shotgun,with a few damage mods it will become stronger than the BFG so I think it deserves a promotion to Unique.

[Sambojin]

For the normals, it has to be the humble combat shotgun. Scouting, pleb killing, cool sound, nice mechanics. Low ammo usage and knock-back with a power mod. I tend to carry one all the way to cybie, just as a beat stick for close range. So good, so under-valued.

For the exotics it has to be the missile launcher. Completely outclasses the weapon it replaces. Its safer, bulk mod-able and very accurate. And it even comes with a ton of XP and a backpack. Plus you can always get it (excepting challenge games). What more could you want? Maybe a bfg - although a quick-slotable weapon isn't that exotic in my opinion........

For the uniques it's probably the Hell-Staff. Free phase devices virtually. Or the Onyx Armour pack. Indestructable reds. Or The Anti-Freak Jackle. A six-shot mini-rocket-launcher with 100-size ammo slots. Or the Pancor Jackhammer. So much knock-back, so much fun to use, so hopeless without a shotty build......... It's a bit of a throw-up for the uniques. There's something there for everyone.

But overall my favourite weapon is the combat shotgun. No weapon has so many uses, or can be configured in so many ways.
