Really, the fusion cannon is sooo dangerous that it's really not worth using it. It should be a tiny little less powerful. Who agrees?

I once pwned my little brother in multiplayer over LAN without getting killed, but yeah it's quite dangerous.

You're right. You almost can't use it on enemies that you can see on the screen because the blast will hit you as well.

The M1 TSX is much more usable as it shoots only one projectile.
I can't really remember using the M2 version throughout the campaign.

My website: http://halestrom.net/darksleep@Occasionally you may meet me when you sleep. In the darkest corners of your dreams, where your phone stops working and you don't know what to do. I'll be there; telling you that I don't support your device.

"Can't you just fix-"
NO! I told you when you bought this, when it goes wrong I can't fix it. It's filled with glue. The Greek goddess of glue Araldities herself would be impressed with this.

Please stop asking me for technical support during your dreams. Can't we just tour some surreal landscapes instead?

"How do I do that?"

Count your fingers. Keep trying. Make sure there's ten.

Then summon me. I am large and covered in wires. Clouds of baking soda pour into your world and a slightly weak yellowy glow appears from the LED strips behind me.

If you can see this message then you're already part of the way there. Keep all your styles disabled and you might see the dream within.

"But there's so much javascript everywhere! I can't see you. Help! I've forgotten to count my fingers! Where do I find them?"

The LED strip behind me pops and goes out. Dark spots appear in the centre of each light. I lift my finger to my lips. The smell of tantalum capacitors fills the air.

Ssh. Don't worry about that. Behind those frameworks there's another person sleeping.

Some day the javascript will sleep too.

It should be like in M1 where you can choose between spreader and cannon.

Here it is...the M1 TSX returns! Unzip this into the M2 base folder and it'll change the M2 spreader to the old TSX. I may try to rig another one where the fusion cannon powerup gives you both weapons, spreader and single-shot cannon...

Edit: Oh, yeah, and I edited the projectile too, increased the damage (to 80) and decreased the blast radius (to 50). You can now get quite close to enemies and still use it safely.

Edit 2: @$#&, just realised that periods in a file name screw up the file extension.

Edit 3: Thanks for getting rid of that, was that you, PetiX?

Signle shot with little bigger explosion radius like in Meteor 1 would be perfect. Then it's some kind of BFG 9000 in Doom.

Alright, here's the improved version. The fusion cannon power-up gives you the single-shot cannon and a spreader that fires less powerful but faster-moving shots. The Black Ops fusion trooper uses the spreader. Also, the blast radius on the single-shot cannon is increased to 65. Enjoy!

i tested it, and i have to say, watching the fusion trooper fire that thing was scary, and the faster speed made it all the more dangerous. I modded the fusion cannon to fire a concentrated spray in one direction with less ammo to be found, but i liked yours better.

Well, thanks. I tested it on a map with a convenient wall to hide behind when the Fusion trooper let go, so it wasn't much of an issue there. Although I do find a lot of the projectiles in M2 move too slowly, especially the lasers. I'm not sure what flight characteristics a ball of glowing plasma might have if it were ever shot out of a cannon, but I think it would probably be fast. I will admit, though, it is kind of scary when the thing fires. Maybe I'll slow it down a little.

You find it very rarely indeed. I know there is one in 'Weapons Testing' in the Base Omega level. Just go to a room with lots of big mechs and sniper black-ops. It hard to get past there but it's (well sort of) worth it. I never use the cannon, but I keep it as a trophy; as a part of 100% completion of the game =)
