Yeah, that's rather annoying... you could easily cram 24 worms onto a level in WWP, but you only get 16 tops in Reloaded?

[Sensei]

I think it's a convention they were forced to use in the 3D games. Not sure why it's in reloaded.

[Charmander]

Yeah, World Party had the mortar.  Mortar, Sheep Launcher, Homing Pigeon, Sheep Strike, Bomb, Mole Strike, Ming Vase, Patsy's, that little dude who plays the tambourine...  All the good stuff.

I'm guessing by Bomb you mean the MB Bomb? And the little tambourine dude is the Salvation Army. Fuck yeah, Sally Army.

Is this worth the buy?
I still got my Armageddon.

They should have made up some new weapons. I want a worm cannon. Like a bazooka, but the worm who fired it ends up where he shot.

Also known as "the ninja rope".


...but yeah, that does actually sound like a fun idea.  Could even be used as a kind of kamikaze attack if you high-power yourself at another worm.

I love to do trick shots in Worms 2 and Armageddon... like making the target skip several times on water.

Here's an example I found on the net... an interesting attack.

I've only played the demo, wtf is up with the limit of 4 worms and 4 players max?

And the AI can still do nothing but lobbing grenades and bazookas with aimbot accuracy. In the tutorial battle, they were dumbed down by using bazookas as a melee weapon.

[Apple Master]

I played the demo mostly to see if it'd run on my computer.
It did, and I enjoyed what little ISN'T limited.
I'm buying it once I get paid. if only to have a current Worms title.
It is in no way better than Armageddon, but as a "new" worms I wouldn't say they've butchered it like the 3D ones did.

They've made new weapons. I saw other new weapons in other videos too. But I agree with Apple Master, they are no way better than Armageddon or WWP. They got the same game, added achievements and a few things and called it a new game. Also I am not sure if I like the new artstyle more, the old art style was easier for my eyes.

But at least I am happy that it's still worms. Worms3D was a major disappointment. I may even get it for fun if I have free money.

I just got the game, played a bit and, well, I can't say I agree with people who say its the same and not better that old worms. The new gameplay elements, although not major at first glance add a lot of new strategic option. I'm taking in particular about sentries and magnets. I the old worms game the best defense was either outright offense or bunkering. Now you have more option that can improve your teams position without necessarily taking shots or maneuvering.

It is amazing that a new game tickles my nostalgia the same way the classics would if i fired them up again. It's beyond doubt however that this is the best worms game so far. It's the same stuff, only more and more polished. That's the way I would like all companies to remake their classics, while what most others do is make a game completely different from its predecessor and just paste the brand name on it.

[kcwong]

But the 4-players 4-worms limitation is just too bad. I expect hedge wars to quickly follow up on the new ideas introduced.

I don't know man, It's a turn based game, having more than 4 teams makes waiting for your turn almost insufferable. More then 4 worms? Unless its wormpick mode in which it doesn't make much of a difference in other cases more worm = more badly placed worms = a hindrance.

If by hindrance you mean fun. Seriously, even though they nerfed the concrete donkey, I'm pretty sure that dropping it onto a ton of worms would result in some explosive joy.

Team Fortress 2 was designed and balanced for 24-player servers, so clearly 32-player servers should be banned; the game should prevent you entirely from running a server with more than 24.
