who misses the sticky bomb? i used to love throwing that a mile away and have it land right on a worms nose!

i never used it i found it uselesss

That's why they got rid of it.

what? i used it all the time it rocked!

Although the sticky bomb was crap, they should've added an option where you could make your thrown weapon sticky.

good idea :) :o :o

Just make a thrown weapon that explodes on impact ?

Pah, it's not the same. :p

adding the option "sticky" to the weapons editor (for thrown weapons, and for launched too, maybe [a friend of mine is possessed by the idea of making a launched sticky weapon :) ]) would not very hard to program, I think, but could solve that problem.

Pah, it's not the same. :p
Yes it is. :p

Yes it is. :p
*Smacks Pilot*

the sticky bomb was pretty pointless

it was a fused weapon that stuck to things

as spadge said, just use a weapon that explodes on impact.

if want a fused weapon, throw a grenade

double post edit

I think, but could solve that problem.

there is no problem to solve

the sticky bomb was useless in the first place

Stick is useless if the enemy isn't moving.

useless but funny :)

Sticky bombs are only useful in realtime games.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

the sticky bomb is NOT usless! you could throw it at walls, at the ground and it would stop straight away. unlike grenades which keep rolling. i used to like throwing it under a ledge, watch it explode than watch the worm fall to their doom!

Ahem... HHG doesn't bounce (that much)

Everyone is saying that it's useless compared to an explode-on-impact grenade.
Which it is.
I still want it though.

not that much but it does. But the bouncer-king is still the banana :)

your missing the point. the sticky bomb you could throw at anything and it would stick there i even created a special game i used to play involving nothing but sticky bombs and artillary mode. that put my throwing skills to a real test!

But an impact grenade still does the same thing faster.

And if you are trying to put your throwung skills to the test, you're better off just practicing with a normal grenade, as it's harder to use.
Besides, there's no difference between throwing a weapon ang launching it.

Not if the thrown thing bouces. Then there's a difference.

guess i'm the only 1 who really appreciated just how much fun you used to be able to have with this. oh well.

it is fun... it just sucks though :)

And buffalo, I meant in terms of movement through the air.

I liked the sticky bomb too, its fun. :) But on the other side, its not very useful. But more useful than the cluster bomb :)

The cluster bomb is the best weapon to use to finish off very weak worms.

Cluster bomb is good, unless you have a banana, then it is useless.

I rather doubt you're gonna use a banana bomb to finish off a worm at 1 hp unless he was the last worm.

Or if you want to be a smart guy and use it as overkill. :p

I rather doubt you're gonna use a banana bomb to finish off a worm at 1 hp unless he was the last worm.

Good point...

Now a sticky mine would be neat so it goes off immediately when a worm walks near it.

Isn't that like the old suicide bomber, just caused by an enemy instead?

What's the difference between a sticky mine and a sticky bomb?

A mine wouldn't go off imediately.

And if you are trying to put your throwung skills to the test, you're better off just practicing with a normal grenade, as it's harder to use.

Yes there is.Thrown weapons are very different than launched even with wind turned off.

Sticky bombs were just...cool.It's like saying that there's no point in the sheep as it does the same amount of damage as the dynamite.

Absolutely right :)

But in W4M you can make a grenade which explodes on impact, thus rendering the sticky bomb useless.

In W3D it was usefull as it was effectively a bazooka not effected by the wind.

It was rather pointless weapon, but it was still funny when you stuck it to a worms head.

What's the difference between a sticky mine and a sticky bomb?

the sticky bomb is like the grenade, it just sticks to the land, and when the fuse reaches 0 it explodes.

No it wasn't, it wasn't effected by wind, unlike the zook.

No it wasn't, it wasn't effected by wind, unlike the zook.

use the petrol bomb instead

i don't quite know why they went to the effort to make it stick to things though

Anyone familiar with the Chatter Bomb from the demo? That seems like a perfectly reasonable Sticky Bomb replacement to me. :rolleyes: Okay, so it can't be tossed quite as far, but I'm sure that could be amended if the damage it did was lowered.

Anyway, yes, it was somewhat amusing to attach the SB to an enemy's face and have it remain there a few seconds before exploding, but that was purely cosmetical and not enough so that it merited being kept in. In my opinion, it wasn't a completely useless weapon, but it was a VERY cheap one. :p

MonkeyFAH is right... the chatter bomb seems a decent replacement.

use the petrol bomb instead

i don't quite know why they went to the effort to make it stick to things though
to be fair, you could attatch it to things with a 5sec fuse, then use it as a platform to get somewhere before it detonated.

I used to die doing that though most of the time.

Also, if you mess up with a sticky and drop it, you have retreat time.

I think it was useless because you could just use sticky mode on wormpot and all the other grenade weapons wouldstick to the landscape, but maybe not worms

Yes, but if you WERN'T using sticky mode, which seems quite likely.

i loved the sticky bomb

i hate sticky bomb. a piontless weapon that can be replaced by impact weapons. whats the piont of it? the only thing i did like was the enemies look on his face!

am i missing something, or is the sticky bomb extreemly useful if you want it to hit an enimy just like an explode-on-impact grenade would, but giving you time to excape!? i mean, c'mon. ho many of you have ever been in a place where you needed a direct shot to kill an enemy and wanted those extra three seconds to jump to safety?

Wouldn't a grenade work?

You do realise that even if you use an explode on impact, you still get retreat time.

Well, sticky bomb was good on that when you need to use a grenade as a dynamite, and you are on a slope.
A grenade rolls down, but sticky bomb won't roll.

you said it! :)

Thread revival! Oh dear.

i have to say i miss the sticky bomb :( (It's grenadeing made easy)

your missing the point. the sticky bomb you could throw at anything and it would stick there i even created a special game i used to play involving nothing but sticky bombs and artillary mode. that put my throwing skills to a real test!No, you're missing the point. The sticky bomb, in real terms, is no different to the bazooka (Well, okay, there are two differences. It isn't affected by wind and you can drop it at your feet and retreat. But when all's said and done, these differences don't merit an entirely new weapon.

Just make a thrown weapon that explodes on impact ?
you don't know your own game, apparently. there is a very big difference between sticky bomb and something that explodes on impact.

you see, sticky bomb was actually used in the collisions test. so as long as it has not yet exploded, it became a part of the terrain that can be attached to anything and be used as a step. think of it as an arrow from the bow in wwp that would explode in a few seconds. yes, it ends your turn, but the retreat time is sufficient to use the sticky bomb, and in games with no jetpack or girders, it can be the only way of getting to certain places.

Yeah, I've noticed that too.

be nicer to spadge! he's just saying a clever idea!:mad:

you don't know your own game, apparentlyY'know, it wouldn't be much of a game if the developers envisaged every trick that would eventually be invented through play...

sticky bomb was useful.at least for me,due that im not so well with thrown weapons.also,why did they remove uzi,revolver,earthquake,armageddon,digging utilities(esp.digging utilities,cause they make the game more strategic)?:mad:

also,why did they remove... armageddon,digging utilities(esp.digging utilities,cause they make the game more strategic)?
Armageddon was removed due to the consoles not being powerful enough.
Digging utilities were removed due to the camera not being able to view it properly.

m... sorry if this is reviving again... but what about if stiky bomb exploded a turn or two after being launched? (or after being hit or something :p)
alternative: explosions throw them away... so you could use it at your advantage... or suffer its consequences... dunno, really.

or something about the timing when exploding... that was the problem at the beggining, right? This could have solved it...
