HEY GUYS THIS IS FROM TF2 THAT MAKES IT NOT COOL
this is not necessarily true
the only reason guns are boring is because they don't really do anything special. plasma weapons have splash damage, rocket launchers are goddamn rocket launchers, grappling hooks, net guns, tranquilizers, super-futuristic beam cannons, these all have some visual oomph or gameplay-modifying tidbits
if you don't do them right (and most people don't) guns are just things that throw bullets
and there are
hundreds of them that all do the
same thing
