Anyone else a big WA fanboy? I find that every half a year or so, I'll pick up the game and play it again. Roping-fun never dies...
-
nah, it's boring. everytime somebody tries to revive it.... just so annoying....
-
I like worms, i only have the second game though. The 3D ones are crap
-
everytime somebody tries to revive it....
I was afraid of that. I did a search before I posted to make sure I wasn't jumping in too quickly D:
Yea, I tried a 3D one... it didn't shift over too well from the 2D style.

I loved the team creation, having things like Mr. Boombastic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lutqplLMvfk) for my victory theme. And the gay voice pack- "ooh, you laddered my tights!" and "yay, we win. We're all queens now.."
The one thing I don't like about it is that the explosions don't have debris that flies into the air before coming down, like in the old DOS games. Worms United along with Dracula: Reign of Terror (http://oldgames.ru/images/oldgames/screenshots/dracula_reign_of_terror/dracula_reign_of_terror_05.gif) were the two first PC games I ever had (me and my twin bro each brought a 'first game', mine being Dracula).

Aye, though Hogs of War (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhj1Ekqz2S4&feature=related) was great :D

A few weeks ago I started playing WA again, I especially like bng (bazooka and grenades) and bna (bow and arrows) schemes. We play together with people from Polish Soldat forums. :)
-
Worms World Party is better than WA. Pretty much almost the same game, but WWP has some extras. Btw I have it on my cellphone too, its like the real deal, minus some minor options and no map editor. : P
-

I second that.
-
Worms World Party (WWP) is better because it's newer. I didn't like WA myself...
The 3D ones are not as fun as the 2D ones, honestly.
Brings back old memories... I remember putting a long ruler over my monitor to help me aim my shotgun over long distances to snipe someone when I did not have laser sight XD
-
^Hah, I used to do that^
I play most of the gamemodes nowadays. BnG has always been a fun one. I'm mainly a roping geek though: Roperacing and Shopping with the occasional Proper match.
-
Having played Armageddon and owning World Party, I can honestly say Worms 2 (PC) is the better one. Great times though. CRAP HE GOT A DONKEY! (My friend dealt ~1200 with a single donkey, it was nuts)
-
^ Ahh yes, I have Worms 2 too - I rate it equal to Worms World Party because Worms 2 has genuine weapon moddability - those after Worms 2, you could only modify the damage and ammo, but Worms 2 you could modify more than that. I remember I always set the minigun to have 100 damage per shot (that's explosively large and damaging) with the max number of shots that can be fired and perfect accuracy. Easily 5000 damage. I also made prod kill instantly and have a much stronger push than normal.
Super Banana Bombs and Holy Hand Grenades, anyone?
-
Dude, get out with the SBB, I always loved the Mad Cow and Sheep Strike xD
-
Some day I'll sit down and get it working in wine, then I'll play it for a while.

Sounds so very classy or how would you say it - glamorous.
Me and my friend played Armageddon online a few years back, and this topic got my heart beating again :) Watching some videos @ uTube and even the menu sounds could bring some tears into my eye.
Oh right, Worms 2 had that ability to modify weapons in a whole different way. I must say Team17 screwed up by dumbing it down to the current over bland "customization" as they call it.
Truu.

Overall it seems that the newer worms games kinda feel crappy. Especially the ones after Worms 3d. I also enjoyed the worms 3d, it was pretty fun.
I still remember how much fun it was making the "nuclear minigun" that basically eradicated the entire map by firing 100 shots that deal massive damage and created holes in the terrain size of a holy hand grenade blast.
-
WWP FTW! Honestly, most game producers overestimate graphics. 3D is a dead end in worms evolution.

haha yes, I never used a ruler because I was quite accurate when the worms were within the screen, but when they were 2-3 screens away I had to take a slight guess and kind of get a sense of where to aim. I nearly always get them, lots of practice on air maps = pwn :D

Ya that was the uber-modified minigun I was talking about - easily 5000 damage if all shots hit. It's awesome!

I didn't need it if its within screen either, but I may still use the ruler to ensure 100% accuracy.
-
I can't play WWP cause it's too old for my pc but the latest WA update works awesome :D
Maybe we make a WA party?
-
Heh, can anyone of you imagine what soldat would be like if we used the physics and some "balance" points of the WWP arsenal? ;d
-
What about "Worms World Party" ?

You ask about opinions or?
-
Yeah I've asked about opinions. And I meant, lets play wwp.
-
If you guys are serious about playing, I've got until school starts for a potential match: which is a week. Probably not going to work with all the timezones though as I'll be setting up a serious sleep-schedule.
As far as I know, map customizing is where it's at. I've done a few myself, making 2 alternate game-modes (both roping oriented), and a small tower map. I mean, with map sizes being limited to 10000x10000, anything is possible.
-
Ah yes, good ol' WA...
I used to love this game, and still do on occasion.
Have any of you guys played Liero X?
-
Have any of you guys played Liero X?
Yes, but this is topic about worms :P
-
True.
The super sheep is my favorite weapon.
I haven't played any of the 3D worms games, but I do have Worms 2 and WA.
-
Yea, I tried a 3D one... it didn't shift over too well from the 2D style.
Were you playing Worms 3D, or Worms 4: Mayhem? 3D was playable, but after playing W4, the first one seriously felt like a crappy beta version of it. Probably too late now to ask you to give W4 a crack if you haven't, but yeah, it's definitely good stuff, far better than its predecessor.
As for WWP, I dunno. The WormPot was kinda fun to douche around with, but other than that, I didn't see too much about it that made me think it was so much better than WA. They were practically the same damn thing, and I liked the darker aura of WA better.
That said, I have the Sold Out releases of W2, WA and WWP, but I only have WA installed, and it's been an age and a half since I played it. I made a sound bank out of my own voice, but it really needs some work. I dunno, if you guys plan on hooking up a WA party or whatever, I'll think about making it if the time is right. :P
-
I'll play a game for fun whenever. I mean, you name the time and it'll either work or I'll have to politely decline.
I go by Flimmy online, but I could always change it up for easier recognition.

I think it's really hard to aim, jump, move around etc. The game is more problematic than fun, in my opinion
-
Kind of sounds like Scorched 3D...
One of the things that I like about worms is the simpleness. Making it 3D would take that away. :(
-
I personally think that they should have stuck with the 2D graphics. The best thing about the 2D Worms series was the simplicity of it all. 3D graphics for a turn-based game is too complicated, thus not fun at all. Plus, for me, i'm not with the whole graphics over gameplay argument. I much prefer 2D games, for the simple reason that it's, well, simple.
-

Aye to that. Although the Megaman Legends series was taking advantage of new technology, I'd still play games that had those graphics. I guess that goes more into the balance between stylized games vs. games attempting to imitate realistic physics/gfx and the like.
-
I looove the worms series! I'm up for a game any day.

Maybe I shall have to install Worms again and call you up for a game. ;D

Since we're discussing Worms.
I got a copy of Worms 2, and when I run it I get a error with the landgen file and a runetime C library error. I googl'd and there's only like two topics about this problem for Worms 2.
-
^Patch? (http://www.worms2.com/main.html?page=supp&area=patc)^
-
he said Copy. An official patch requires CD or something like that.
-
oh man i loved the 1st worms when i was a kid, still do, never really like the 3D versions...

tried reinstalling?
-
Oh, I just assumed he had a CD download.
-
Last time I played worms was on PS3 a month ago.
It was a 2D Worm in HD.
mmmmmmh HD.
Still wonder why there are no new features available e.g. diving suits :P.
I have Worms 3D and Worms World Party.
Sadly WWP doesn't run here.
I guess it's too old since official patched didn't help.

Get WA with the latest update and it'll work.

oh yeaaah, mineball was so ridiculous :P Max HP, 5s round time, infinite mines and baseball bat...

Haha, whoa. That does sound pretty fun.
I never got much into the niche game types. I think the whole Proper thing gave them a bad name (for those out of the know, "Proper" in this case is a compression of "pro" and "roper"; ninja rope nuts with a lot to prove).
