What's worse than a one-hit-kill weapon in a multiplayer game? One that takes no skill to aim? One that doesn't take into account which body part you hit? One that can see other players through f***ing walls?

Well, how about one with all of the above?

The FarSight railgun is one of the more popular examples on this list, but it shouldn't be forgotten, as it makes every single design no-no in terms of making a balanced weapon.

Just plonk yourself down in cover and snipe unsuspecting enemies until everyone else in the lobby quits.
