I am thinking of buying one of the 2d Worms games for the PC. The problem is I do not know whether to buy Worms Armageddon or Worms World Party. Could someone tell me the differences between the two games, or if there is another good 2d Worms game for the PC? Besides Worms 2 and the first Worms (and its expansions), are there any other 2d Worms for the PC?

Thanks

Yes, if anything you should get W:A.

Could someone tell me the differences of the weapons, maps, campaigns, and modes of WA and WWP? Thanks for the fast replies.

Both W:A and WWP have exactly the same weapons. W:A has different maps to WWP, different missions and training, and no WormPot or mission editor. However, it does have many features that WWP lacks, such as the ability to make huge maps (up to 30,000x28,000 pixels, I think), the ability to make maps with more than 64 colours (up to 113 including black), the ability to add superweapons to custom schemes, the ability to walk backwards, the removal of many bugs (some of which were loopholes that could be used to cheat), recording of games played, and a bunch of other stuff.
EDIT: Of course, these great features are only available if you install the latest Beta Update from the official Worms Armageddon website (wa.team17.com).

the biggest difference is number of people still playing the game. w:a has a big on-line community. if you are interested in playing on-line, you want w:a.

another thing you can do is order the battle pack. it has w2, w:a, and wwp for a very reasonable price. in fact, your shipping costs will make it be almost the same as buying w:a or wwp by itself.

w2 had a lot of nifty tweaking features that were cut in w:a and wwp. wwp has wormpot. there is very little reason not to get all 3, so that is what i would ultimately recommend.

edit: apparently, they call it worms corporal pack now. w2+w:a or wwp by themselves are £5.99, while w2+w:a+wwp is £9.99.

with shipping to us, and converted to usd

w2+w:a or wwp = $25.26
w2+w:a+wwp = $35.72

Thanks for the help everyone. Now I can decide what to get.

Maybe I will get a chance to play some of you online. :)

No, you can't!
We already decided for you to get WA with top priority. ;)
