Can you not position your worms in Mayhem? Whenever a game starts they're placed randomly on the map, and I can't find the option to change this anywhere. If it's possible, please reply with directions, thanks.

Is it not possible to position to them?

Also, I'm running into another problem. Sometimes the in-game seconds count down way faster than an actual second. This happens sometimes if I play Mayhem, close the game, do other stuff, then re-open the game and play more. Has anyone else ran into this problem? If you know how to fix it, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

About your first question....

I don't think it's possible.
Reason:The 'teleport' utility was removed, and so the option to place your worms manually was removed as it uses that utility.

Yea.

I went back to playing Worms Armageddon, as the 3D versions are horrible. Not being able to position your worms takes all the fun away from the game. The computer places the worms in horrible positions, all right next to each other. I regret buying Mayhem; what a waste.
