I've noticed the odd person (well, one) voicing their dissatisfaction over the introduction of random mines with the update. So - let's have a poll!

Naturally, the results of this poll probably won't have any effect at all on the game - just a bit of harmless fun to see what the community's opinion is. Please try and keep flaming, arguing and all that nonsense out of this thread. And obviously, only vote if you've played the updated version of Worms XBLA, with random mines.

There yer go -- it's 50/50. I win! (Ahem...)

Harry.

I liked jumping over mines, especially when there was a crate nearby that most players left alone but thanks to the backflip, if you jumped at the right time, you could get a crate that was on a mine. Crates still fall on or very near mines, so some are impossible to get safely. You can try using rope but it's still risky and the rope is often more valuable than whatever is in the crate. I used to play WA with instant mines but crates didn't land on mines in that.

You should be able to do more damage with mines now since if you knock one off an edge and on to a worm, it's more likely to explode instantly, rather than bouncing away.

I'll play some more games before I vote. It would have been funny playing on the day of the update when not as many people knew about the change. I can see that frustrating some players and making them lose games but they should be aware of the mine danger by now.

Where's the "yes, I like them. Now why the hell can't I use them in custom games? Honestly, Team 17, it's bad enough you stripped so many weapons and features and options from the game, but now when you do return one of those options, you don't even let us use it in our own games? What the hell!?" option?

I don't think that would have fit in the poll option.

Yes! I think the mines are great!

They do make the game more tactical but I have very bad luck with the mines. To many instant ones. :(

I love the mines. Had a game yesterday that I flat out won because of them. Some guy was doing the reverse rope trick to try to dynamite me. As he kept bouncing back and forth to try and get up to me, time kept ticking away. When there was about 10 seconds left, he suceeded to get up into the air towards me, only to lose the game by having an instant mine blow him away.

LOVE THEM!

sometimes the instant mines can be useful but can also not i was playing a match and i was stuck were i was:( and the good part is there was an explosion the mine touched my enemy and boom he was dead:D

I've won 14 of 16 legit games so far, and many of them because someone killed themself with the gernade. I was playing nos (red) last night, and he carefully hit down below and blue was walking around. He launched a banana bomb up at me, well they are so unpredicable, it exploded, taking out him and nos.

"yes, I like them. Now why the hell can't I use them in custom games?"

Here's my answer to this poll as well.
