Rifle is always the fastest way to kill if you are going for aim and speed. Two swift and accurate shots will put people into stasis :P

Oh well, I think I could also count the "blender" to my favorite weapons (in case you don't know what I mean: Minigun). :P

lol, wonder or you could use the minigun as blender if it would really exist. maybe if you make it spin without bullets :D

for me its still the flak cannon :) i just love how it makes skaarj explode ;D
I hate it when people ask me what my favorite game is. Just try to explain you're not talking about Unreal Tournament ::).

If I had only one to grab. It'd have to be the Flak. For sure. It's great for lobbing in the Alt-fire at a pretty good distance, it can be bounced around a corner to 'clear' it, and just a whole lot of fun in general.

If the map is larger, more open, than it's a Rifle. No contest.

Most of the time I find myself using only those 2 weapons, the Flak and Rifle. Best combo of toys in Unreal for me.

Each weapon is best for specific times, like long range is sniper\asmd. Short range is Rocket Launcher and Flak Cannon depending on how difficult of a target "Usually I pick Eightball if the target is moving fast". Minigun is usually used to take shield belt and armor off of people, then I switch weapons. ASMD is good for close quarters and good for last second saves, aka primary fire.

And last of all, I pick the Rifle because it works everywhere I go... very well. If you shoot someone with a shield belt in the head twice... they die instantly... plus it works as a helper in cqb because if you're going for swift and accurate shots you'll likely kill your opponent faster.

For the people that use the Eightball do y'all aim for the feet for the splash damage?

depends :P

if some quick target probably splash damage on the ground is best, if some big and slow target I usually center the rockets to let them hit all at one place.
For stupid creatures the grenades fit the best, since usually they don't try to avoid them ;)

If I remember correctly, you can actually take down a Titan faster by using the ASMD, instead of the Eightball.

Actually i think the Minigun works better on Titans because you can spam them with alt fire.

Doesn't the Titan take less damage from bullets?
