Hammers existed before halo. All hammers use gravity. T.T;

Does anyone actually own the trademark for "Gravity Hammer?"

That hammer doesn't look exactly the same (it's even 2D), behaves much differently, and was not introduced in Halo3.

We also had karts on Graal2001. We are not really doing an exact copy of other games, we more do stuff that is inspired by other games and reusing some ideas that fit in the Graal environment. Other games do the same, it's not like GTA invented the idea of gangs, guns or mini-games.

Your karts didn't shoot turtle shells and bananas, so they weren't a blatant rip-off of Mario Kart. Malinko's Mario items on UN, now those are rip-offs. Gravity Hammer on the other hand, is straight from Halo.

You shouldn't compare with GTA. GTA reflects realism, or at least tries to do so. Now think about what Halo or Mario Kart does.

There are similar gravity weapons in many games which were released to a time where these new physics engines were trendy.. Halflife 2.. Halo.. and so on...

I don't think its a problem to have one in graal too.

Oh come on, don't say that, it's pretty much the exact same. Going like that, you could pull head115.gif doesn't look anything like Link and the Graal is and always was completely original.

Does it get anymore obvious? Pardon the transparency on the image, I'm using some crazy program.

Bungie most likely owns the concept + any likeness
