Armament: "Thor's Hammer" Particle Accelerators
-
oh rly?
-
Let's sue them! :P
Well, "Thor's Hammer" isn't a common name for a wepon... Is it?
-
Thor's Hammer is an actual project if you didn't know, it's a big thing that generates lightning. And lightning is common........
-
Thors Hammer is the weapon of the norse god Thor. The God of thunder.
And is that a f***ing mech.
and we were here first so whats the problem we should be honored they copy use immatation is the highest form of flattery or annoyance.
-
neh, the thing doesn't shoot lightening, so it's a copy in name only.
-
That's shocking.
-
*groan* bad pun
-
...
They haven't showed the particle accelerator in action yet, did they?
I only see the artillery animation so far.
-
whats the big deal sooo what they took the same idea and turned it into something
There is nothing to cry about...
-
Once again Quantum fails to read a vital post and misses the point completely.
-
Hmm, i dont see the big deal, they are learning from op2 ;p
-
if they copy the sticky foam, that could be very problematic ;)
-
The already have some thing like sticky foam its just slows down units though.
-
lightning good: (thumbsup)
copy outpost 2: (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) (thumbsdown) :P
-
It only proves further that Outpost 2 is/was a great influential genre-molding game.
-
Heh, I saw particle accelerator and went, "Large Hadron Thor's Hammer O' Doom."
[size=8]Then I saw it was a mobile artillery piece.[/size]
-
thors hammer is a really common name especially when a game associates it with its namesake; lightning
so its not that their ripping off op2, its more like they're using a tried and true system. besides, that unit looks more like a recycled siege tank on legs, hence making siege tanks useless.

In the space opera series Ginga Eiyū Densetsu - Legend of the Galactic Heroes - there was a space station that served as a midway point between two sides of a millenial war. The primary weapon of this spherical station was a devastating weapon capable of incinerating fleets.
This weapon, which used lightning bolts arcing between points, was called the Thor's Hammer.
LoGH was published in book form in 1982, and later animated in 1988.
Outpost 2 was published in 1997- just about when the animated series finally ended (All 110 episodes).
