This may be a stupid question but...

I heard that that new worms game on XBOX Live will eventually be released on PC. My question is: Is this new worms going to replace the old Armageddon? As in, will it be as fully featured and customizable as what we now come to expect (thanks to Cyber and friends) from the current Worms Armageddon?

The reason I ask is because most of the worms games that have come out after Armageddon have been increasingly more simplified and kinda "dumbed down" (no offense meant). It's just that I was really hoping that this new game would actually be a "next gen" side view worms game that would take worms to the next level - and not just another worms game... like the one on PS3 or the DS, and other platforms...

The Xbox game has more weapons than the DS/PSP games (W:OW (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms:_Open_Warfare) and W:OW2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms:_Open_Warfare_2)) and the first Xbox Worms game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms_(2007_video_game)), but not as many as W:A. It has some new weapons that aren't in W:A as well.

I have no insider info on this, but AFAIK the PC version will be a direct port of the Xbox game.

Yah, you see the reason I ask of course... you and Deadcode made W:A worth playing again, And if it were not for your ... "freedom" features, our mnp maps would still be stuck in tiny little map sizes. That's just ONE thing that makes W:A stand out.

The weapon selections aren't the biggest issue - I mainly dislike how they take out nearly all options and choices from most of the recent games. One a console, I can see why this should be that way, but on the PC, I was hoping for more. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
