Personally, I dont think T17 wanted to make a game better than WA at all....they just wanted to bring us, the PC comunity,a new 2D game after 11 years....

It's not an expansion of Worms Armageddon.

To me it looks neat from trailers, informations, features. Maybe in the future updates they will introduce new weapons, I do hope they will. I love when games receive such content. It slaps me on the knee :>

4 Players only? What is this 1995? While I was excited that a new worms game was coming for the PC that I could play with friends over Steam. I won't be buying this game unless there is support for more players. I've looked around on forums for this game and people try and make excuses like "The game will be too slow with more than 4" This is not a good reason for the developer to limit the game.

It's double standards, one of the reasons they limit the number of teams is the "potential" time it takes for it to cycle through everyone ones turn once. However they let you set a arbitrarily high number of seconds for turn time (99 seconds iirc) which also increases the "potential" time it takes to cycle through every players turn once.

If your not going to let more teams due to time constraints then at least nerf the turn time counter too to keep in line with your own policies.

(I am in favor of more then 4 teams of 4 worms as a minimum, rather then less teams yet more turn time. Number of worms per team is a separate issue which I won't discuss here.)

Just why can't you wait till WR releases and you tested if it doesn't work and you dislike it? Why do you have to search for every single, small and silly argument you can find to make Team17 change their game?

Btw, high turn timers help newbies getting used to Worms effectively, more players don't.

Do these forums have a "block" feature that lets you hide posts from specified users?

The good thing is there will be a new weapon that can resurrect worms! So 4 worms might be enough after all :)

Yes.

Have fun.

That weapon is probably a super weapon and it probably won't be implemented in some schemes. Just my 2 cents...

Worms Reloaded doesn't feature six players and it actually works with 4 ones. No one forces you to play Worms Reloaded, so if you think playing Worms with less than 6 teams and 8 worms would kill you you can just keep playing Worms Armageddon. Alright now?

When they do come around and implement more then 4x4 support nobody is forcing you to play with more then 4x4...

Also I don't play W:A, but I still want more then 4x4 support.

No one forces you to go out of your way to destroy any attempts to start a petition for more then 4x4, let us petition for it without you constantly attempting to derail the thread into either a flame fest or us constantly correcting your severely failed logic.

Well if it was that wanted this thread should have gotten over 4 pages by now right? Since it's not I guess we'll stick to 4x4, that;s the best.

Even if it is, these weapons in the game are amazing and the possibility to ressurect dead worms is a great idea nevertheless! Ok 6 worms might be better but lets wait and see for ourselves first :)

The problem is your logic fails much more than mine, there's no logic in flaming about a game that didn't even release yet

Worms reloaded should not be a step backwards in the series. As much as I want to buy this game I cannot justify it if I can't play with more than 3 other people at the same time. This isn't a request that would take a huge overhaul to implement.

(we don't need to discuss why it was closed any more.)

Even still that thread shouldnt have been closed. There was good discussion going on in that thread and it was the most active thread on the forum. Its a very important issue (with regards to worms) and so it was going to get quite heated.

The reason for locking it I dont agree with. There were only a few actual "insults" in the entire thread, and most these "insults" (oh my gosh) were accompanied with relevant and meaningful crontribution to the topic at hand.

We can see that this is still an issue people would like to discuss and contribute to, so why would you lock the thread? What good does it achieve? The "insults" are still there for everyone to read be it locked or unlocked, so why not let people continue to have their say?

No, we really don't need to discuss why it was closed any more. If you have an issue about those kind of things, send a Private Message to the moderator who locked it

I demand more worms and more teams than 4!

For Christ's sake, why dont you make it optional? Im pretty sure your engine can hold more teams and worms. Just let the players decide, ffs.

Look at Steam forum how many people want this:

That's not really the right attitude to take if you want the developers of a game to do something, is it?

Try asking politely in the future.

it still has less weapons though :/ Yes but at the same time Worms Armaggeddon had a lot of weapons that you never used in serious play. I mean why use the pistol/uzi when you have the shotgun. And I've never seen Cluster Grenades used effectively.

I much prefer having a smaller but more useful selection of weapons. You are right though that Team 17 needs to add support for 8 Worms. But they've already said that they will continue supporting this game.

Cluster grenade was deadly when used right, plus.... never used in serious play... so what? So if people who play this game ''seriously'' don't use it... then it's useless .....what?

Pistol was used as an insult kill, a worm on 10 or so health is easily killed with the handgun and it can save precious shotgun ammo. The uzi also has the ability to move a worm quite long distances over flat terrain which can be useful in some situations.

It's just worth pointing out that although many weapons are rarely used, they still have some uses. Though I've never found good use for a mortar.

Thurbo

None of the weapons was really "useless". A pistol, for example, can be used to kill about three weak worms standing on different levels of land (if you are good at aiming and they are close enough). Very rare situation though, you are right. Uzis are useful to prod a lot of worms into the water, mortars are very handy if you are at a place that proves disadvantagous (it's actually very easy to aim with them since they aren't attracted by wind, just try it :)), clusters are absolutely powerful when sudden death kicks in, etc etc.

I got the game yesterday and I was SHOCKED to see that they are only 4 players per team, and only 4 teams on one level. It was pure WTF moment... It is just SRSLY?!

We need more worms, and more teams! NOW :D
