Many apologies if this has already been suggested.

Anyway, I was thinking of a fun idea for a weapon- a lightsaber! And maybe the effect after being hit with it could be being disintegrated to ashes? I think it would be rather fun to hit worms with a green/blue/red lightsaber- maybe take off 75 health points?

Oh, and speaking of lightsabers- if we are going to have a customisation option, probably a Darth Vader (Darth Pinky!:D) helmet might be added?

On an unrelated note, this is my first post, and indeed the place does look swell!:)

Whoops, very sorry, please close!:o

Naw. You just need to get used to several member's attitudes to people suggesting this sort of thing. And believe me it happens alot. Bonz could have dug up five other posts on the subject if he really wanted to.

For a game like worms the need for a balance in weapons is huge. Simply putting in a weapon that would turn a worm into ashes would be funny at first but it would just get boring. Its instant death. Who wants a match where people continously poke the opposing worms with a lightsaber until there are no more worms left and they win? Wheres the strategy? Wheres the fun? I think you can see my point.

I think he means it would turn them to ashes if the the 75 points of damage would be enough to kill them.

And the whole instant death thing assumes you have an infinite number of them. 1: This would only be done by the newbies who take great pleasure from such things and 2: Is nothing that can't already be achieved in the current worms games by having infinite Concrete Donkeys.

You're arguing the same point as I am. I like it.:D
