Hi,

In past Worms games I would get each friend (playing in same room) to create themselves a team, it was one aspect the series had always done perfectly but seems to have been removed here.

I can't find a way to give my team a name. It seems fixed to my PSN username, and I can't see a way to give other local players a name either (it says <username> clone. They can't name their own Worms either by the look of it. Am I supposed to create a formation for each friend? Am I missing something?

I've got the PS3 version.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

I know, with online playing, that although the formations have names you only see those names at the pre-game menu. As soon as the game starts you only see the PSN ID. If you do want to rename your formation, go into customisation/my formations, click the formation and you'll see a few options: set as default, change and rename.

Not exactly the answer you wanted but hope it helps a bit.

They removed the option to fully customise human and AI teams. You have to set up multiple profiles to use different teams. Basically, worms has gone online and is now defunct as a party game.

Sadly this is the reason I no longer play Worms Revolution. Me and my friends have gone back to W2A. Customizable teams is the single most important factor in a Worms game IMO!

i own quite a few worms games on consoles also... some of the few games i've actually bought twice in my life...

aside from the dumbed down customisation, i found from my experience (on pc at least) the voicepacks are of much lower quality than before sadly, not sure if you agree

I don't have the game. But I just wanted to say, making your own AI teams is a lot of fun.

I make all sorts of teams I can fight in Worms: Armaggedon, like;

-Krauts with fake nazi's; Adol Hutler, Heinrich Himmle, Eine, Twei etc.
-Sandwich Spread; Peanut Butter, Ham, and more.
-Philosophia with fake philosophers; Confusio, Machiavolli, Friederich Niets, Platon etc.

Most of them I give flags I made myself. I also give them my own made voices using text to speech. But I can understand this can't be done in Revolution.

I than play against these AI teams myself or with a friend. Lot's of fun.

So, what I want to say: Team 17 rethink customizable AI teams for this game or the next!

I have to agree... very important to customize AI teams just as much as your own teams as well as making AI teams available for NON-RANKED games

I can see why they've done this, in a sense.

Worms Revolution seems to be very reliant on "profiles" - that being, your progress and unlocks are all tied into your profile. If you have any custom teams added, then those custom teams would need to be made available to all profiles that play a game. Whether they can sort this out with an update, I don't know but it'd be nice to know either way.

I don't go along with Worms Rev only being an online experience though. If you have friends who want to play in the old "pass the pad" style, all you need to do is set them up with a profile, skip the tutorial and then edit their team. Then sign back in as yourself and add them to a game.
