Sniper Rifle

Thresh:
The sniper rifle was a bit clunky and hard to use in multiplayer. It gives great power, but the zoom feature was somewhat annoying. It has four levels of zoom, which can be accessed by pressing "+" or "-." The problem with this is that your viewscreen is locked in the zoom mode, unless you tap the plus or minus keys to zoom out. If someone catches you camping, you're pretty much helpless to defend yourself. One time while we were all blasting each other on LAN, Kenn was trying to snipe CalBear and was locked in zoom mode. Little did he know that I snuck up behind him and rammed a rocket up his arse.

Grenade Launcher

The grenade launcher was also a bit of a downer. Grenades don't seem to give a good enough splash or punch, and they're not quite as bouncy as one would hope. In the open field, using the grenade launcher even against a decent opponent using an assault rifle is a sure way to get yourself killed.

Plasma

The sixth weapon is a green plasma bolt weapon. It packs almost as much punch as the yellow gauss gun and a bit of splash too. It also rocks the screen with every shot, which was kind of distracting, but not that bad.

Rocket

The rocket launcher proved to be a much better gun than the grenade launcher. Rockets fly straight and fast, although they don't seem to hit with all that much punch against other on-foot targets. Still, it's much easier to take out cars with the trusty rocket launcher than any other weapon. Bob's not a very good driver, so I was able to blast him out of his car pretty easily with the rockets.
