Microwave Or Laser?
« Reply #25 on: March 06, 2006, 08:07:28 AM »
I still want to modify some things about that microwave bolt. (It's a procedural animation, meaning, rather than there being graphics in the OP2_ART for it, there's code to render it when the weapon fires. Other procedural animations in OP2 are the laser, and Thor's hammer (maybe others, I can't think of all the animations right now))

It would be interesting to see a green microwave, or maybe one that zigzags before it hits the target.

I liked the Micro ray that was on the pre-release demo :P

I believe that the demos are included in version 1.3.4 as colony games.

micro has a tad higher rate of fire then laser but that aside i think laser is better. besides when the people from eden hear that microwaves are coming to the front lines they just get TV dinners :P

I think they are great opposites of each other. I believe the almost cancel each other out as far as pro's vs con's. Lasers will do more damage, but a microwave it scramble your electronics (and cybernetics for that matter). Using a laser on technological system is just going to make burn marks in everything, but a microwave will just heat up armor and not really eat through it unless its light. Long story short, the microwave I just think as more versatile, but the laser does have some more brute force damage. As far as the game is concerned I'd rather go microwave.

Microwave.
The turret even looks more durable.
