Novus Ordo Seclorum Knowledge is power... has been since time eternal. Arcane knowledge is thereby ultimate power and can therefore lead to ultimate corruption. Wisdom (and the experience that comes with age) is a serum for corruption. Perhaps that is why there are so many Old Men with Arcane knowledge and so few young ones... Arcane OMO - Circa 2001
you know, the only thing I've heard thats really different in HW2 is the graphics and the actual slicing of ships and parts laying around that can kill ya!
............of course the nice thing is the number of people that are in HW these days. Tonight there were over 45 people. I would even like to report a Crusty-OMO siting!
Not to mention the fact that the ships have sub systems that can be targetted. Also the system will be open to modding (more than HW itself). I'm sure bits of the Sigma engine are in HW2 to make ship parts that can be added, removed, or blown off and through.
Some additional HW2 info
