However, it also locks on to heat. Which comes from oh, vehicles and skiing tribesmen. A missile up the butt will really ruin your day, you know, and everyone hates it when their sexy, sexy bomber gets blasted out of the air. The laser rifle also got the Jenny Jones makeover and now it looks like the blaster from Ghostbusters , as opposed to a Toothpick of Doom. It's still a pain to shoot and they evidently ignored my call for a cartridge-based sniper rifle.
Sniper rifles are cool.
The Blaster has been tweaked substantially enough that it's not as embarassing to get owned by a blaster kill. It has a good range and, at close range, the little boogerballs of light bounce all around. This means you can get really cool ricochet kills in addition to those boring old straight-ahead kills. The ol' Stormhammer has been gussied up a bit and looks even more badass, though the discs now look like those pieplate UFOs in Ed Wood movies. Unfortunately, the mortar no longer sounds like a Greek God hurling death onto your head, or maybe I've gotten used to it.
