What is your opinion on the Harpoon Gun?
I am replaying through all the Classic games this summer and now TRIII is next on my list. I am trying to make a rule where I can only use guns with consumable ammunition to complete the game. Not sure if this is possible, but it got me thinking about the Harpoon Gun. I personally never use the Harpoon Gun in TRIII because it shoots awkwardly and the reloading is frustrating. Which is a shame, because the Harpoon Gun in TRII was not that bad and I could actually take enemies down with it.
Do people use in the Harpoon Gun in TRII or TRIII? What is your opinion of it? |

I use it only when it's absolutely necessary. It's definitely not my weapon of choice. I guess it's better than nothing, but I'd rather get to shore and fire away some real weapons.
It's pretty useless because there's not a lot of underwater combat in this game anyway. And even in Lud's gate you don't have to use the harpoon gun because you get the UPV. |

Seriously that stuff was juiceless as heck I used to love the idea of an underwater gun in TR when seeing Demo mode it looked stunning! ... But then you use it and its so pathetic If it has to be in one of the fan project games, I'm sure the creators will make it more useful and wonderful though |

I used it once to see what it was like and I don't think I ever used it again.

I've found it important to use it in many situations. Especially on TR2.
I didn't even remember it was in TR3. Maybe it's just not as prevelant. |

The TRIII one is definitely forgettable. Probably because there aren't much areas with underwater combat. You can only get the Harpoon Gun in two levels: Coastal Village and Lud's Gate. Aside from a few crocodiles in South Pacific Islands, there is no need to use Harpoons at all. They are easier to take care of them from the surface. Lud's Gate has the crocodiles and frogmen. But you get that yellow underwater sub that also uses Harpoons too. The only reason to pick up Harpoons is for this vehicle. There is no use for the Harpoon Gun in TRIII because a.) there are not many places that you need to use it and b.) the guns aiming and reloading is worse than TRII. |

I've used it a bunch of times but only when I'm sure it can kill enemies with one shot.
