What Kind Of A Name Is That??

Heroes of Newerth is releasing a new Hero - Flint Beastwood, an orc who wields two double-barreled shotguns in each hand.

Really, S2 Games? Are you so, completely out of ideas for names that you would blatantly rip one from good ol' Clint Eastwood? Even the gun-toting bit seems suspiciously similar. All those Westerns, even Gran Torino. Are you sure this new hero isn't just Clint Eastwood, except twenty years younger and painted in green?

But then again, I guess it's more about the gameplay, and I should probably stop worrying about any possible copyright infringements. Honestly, if S2 Games doesn't get in trouble for the whole thing, I'd be pretty excited for the new Hero. Attack speed seems a little bit fast, and his ultimate seems strangely alike Witch Slayer's (unless I am mistaken, and that giant nuke shot isn't his ultimate.) But overall, a nice addition.
