TimeSplitters 2: Arsenal

Written by DetErest

What would a first person shooter be without a heavy supply of cool weapons? There's a big enough arsenal to do some serious damage. Everything including handguns, a flame-thrower, automatics, and even explosives.

Everyone has their personal favorites, and I've posted my own list below. So many different ones to choose from, it's hard to pick just five...

1. Tactical 12 Gauge When I'm in multiplayer mode, chances are I'll be armed with with this deadly shotgun. The shot spreads, increasing your chances of hitting a running target. Scoring a headset at close range has never been more devastating... Especially against zombie characters, where their skull will often be knocked right off of their shoulders. It's also quite quick to reload, and you can fire shots between reloads. This means that if you're attacked while in the middle of the reloading, you can quickly react and defend yourself. 2. S8 P90 A weapon based on the real-life P90 has been featured in many first person shooters ever since GoldenEye's legendary RC-P90. The one in this game looks more like the actual weapon than it has in previous games. The S8 P90 holds 64 bullets in a magazine, and spits them out at an insanely fast rate... And if that's not enough, this gun can also zoom in and target enemies at a distance. Even though it has zoom capability, it's most effective as a close range ambush weapon. 3. Lasergun We've seen lasers before, but not quite like this one. It fires laser beams as fast as you can pull the trigger. Holding down the trigger makes the laser charge up, and unleash a powerful laser blast as soon as you let go. Your opponents will really light up when they're hit with these bright orange flashes. 4. Homing Missile Launcher What causes more destruction than a missile? A missile that locks onto your target, and chases them down. Even as your opponent runs away, they'll feel the heat of an incoming missile at their backside. It's not completely foolproof though... Walls and other obstacles can get in the way of your moving target. But more often than not, launching a homing missile will create a rather unpleasant gift. Surprise! 5. Soviet S47 The AK-47 is the weapon of choice for Osama bin Laden... But I'll bet Osama's AK-47 doesn't have a secondary function that launches grenades. This weapon resembles the infamous AK-47, except of course for its unique function that allows it to double as an explosive launcher. One second you're firing bullets... Then you instantly realize that some heavier artillery is needed. No need to switch weapons. Just use the secondary fire function to lob a grenade round at your target. Fire in the hole!

Honorable Mentions...
There are some weapons that are nowhere close to being my favorite, but are cool nonetheless.

Flame Thrower Did someone say BBQ? The flame thrower lets you set enemies on fire, and watch them run around the room. Tommy Gun When a gangster gets angry, he pulls out his trusty Tommy Gun to settle things. Someone's gotta pay... Electrotool Nowhere near as effective as an automatic weapon... But this giant, futuristic cattle-prod is deadly enough.. Unlike Goldeneye's relatively harmless TaserBoy unlocked with the All Guns cheat.
