Naw, I've never been much of a multiplayer guy. When I get a 360 this summer, I'm definitely going to drop the $50 for a year of Xbox Live Gold, though, so I can play Halo 3 with Tweezy.
I played Unreal Championship II on Xbox though. That was awesome.
Ah you have been deprived then. Unreal Tournament (The original, not any of it's "Sequels") was the BEST.
My best Redeemer debacle was when a friend and I were playing against each other with Bot support. We both fired off Redeemers and piloted them right into each other....
It was at that moment that I finally realised that the only thing better then a redeemer going off was TWO redeemers going off. In the middle of the map. In the middle of a pitched battle with both teams. Who get blown up.
Even if you prefer single player formats UT can still be fun and challenging even without fellow human players thanks to the bots. They can be a bit stupid at times admittedly but they're fairly solid given the status of bot technology at the time.
As for the best weapon ever?
Double Barrel Shotgun from Doom 2.
No shotgun since has been able to completely slaughter a room full of people in one shot with neither a matching carnage rate or the satisfying "BOOOM!" **shlick shlock shlack!** reload that gun had. Firing that weapon wasn't just great fun, it was gratifying at every level. Here was a weapon that sung the song of death so sweetly that you just wanted to keep firing the thing and never, ever stop.
