For your viewing pleasure.



So yeah. How awesome is this? SO AWESOME

Glad someone started this thread so I can get in early saying I want to be included in any XBL meta-tag.

Worms Armegeddon still gets played whenever my dad visits me, on the Dreamcast, because in high school he used to play me and my brothers in it. This - coupled with Netflix, and the whole 'home entertainment center' feel of the 360 now - may actually get my dad to get a 360 and gold, to play me and my brothers, now that we're all over the state.

That makes me feel incredibly cool.

Innncoommmiiiinnnngggg!!!!
I'll get you!
Ooo Noooo!!
Ahh... the memories.

Thank god they got away from that 3D shit. I'm really excited for this, even though it absolutely looks like just more of the same old, same old from Worms: Armageddon.

You make that sound like it's a bad thing though.

When really, that's all I ever want!

SniperGuy

I mean, it's basically awesomeness condensed.

The Vertical levels look cool too.

I may be buying this on both Steam and XBLA.

SniperGuy

That was my thought. I know a ton of people that'll play it with me on the PC, but the 360 is so much awesomer for college parties and stuff.

Turkey

It looks so pretty.

Metal Gear Solid 2 Demo

I hope you can baseball bat mines like in Worms 2

God this game had some great moments as a kid. Just chain reactions of explosions and lucky rolls made this game

SniperGuy

I'm really happy the napalm is back. I missed that from XBLA Worms.

Moioink

The current Worms available on PSN (and XBLA I think) is pretty well balanced so I don't really need another one, I still play it regularly.

Woodroez

yesss

I think I got to...Field General? in Armageddon. It was one of my crowning achievements to be able to defeat a whole team with one worm. Took some daring Ming Vase use though.

Way to press my nostalgia button. I'm fairly certain this will be bought day one for PC.

I am so ready to blow up some worms with dynamite/sheep/cows.

Chen

I remember people digging underground to shield them from aerial assault and I'd be all aqua sheep go! That or use moles and drop a holy hand grenade.

Also, some of the missions can suck my dick.

Shujaa

Well it's about damn time they made a new one. Thankfully they're sticking with the tried and tested 2D gameplay.

Honestly Team 17 really piss me off. They once owned the genre but where have they been?! Gunbound is insanely popular. Why don't they follow that lead?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS?

PHOTOSHOP MAP MAKING, PEOPLE PLAYING SOMETHING OTHER THAN SHOPPA/"PROPER".

AHHHH-Leluia!

Worms looked like this the last time I played it.

Edith Upwards

Oh god.

Hit up AC so we can get new maps.

EDIT:Telepathy is apparently in as a utility, guy takes out a bandana(the martial arts symbol in worms) and guides a grenade around.

W:A Theme song is

here

www.blamethepixel.com is the main Worms fansite, lotsa maps before the directory containing them crashed.

My only regret is that this appears to be exclusive to the 360. While I am a (happy and content) owner of a 360, I really feel that Worms falls squarely in the realm of PC-games for me.

Radikal_Dreamer

If this is an honest-to-god full on Worms game like I'm hoping, I'll be there on day one. Really, all I want is Worms Armageddon in HD (though it'd be even better if it played a bit faster like 2), and I'm there.

No it isn't, PC/Mac version coming a few months after.

Photoshop map making is coming back also. So, start reg in the BTP forums NOW.

eelektrik

I find the title a little odd, considering Worms Armageddon came out not long after and felt like an expansion of Worms 2. Though there were things Worms 2 did better than Armageddon, like the weapon editing options.

Edith Upwards

I just realized that with my modern computer and all this practice that I've more skillz at Shoppa then everyone else here.
No, must not succumb to temptation, forts is the only mode worth anything!

Xagarath

So what does this actually have that the 1999 PC game doesn't?
That being the peak of the franchise and all.

DodgeBlan

SEE YA LATER ALLIGATOR, WOW!

Seeing this trailer made me want to play Worms Armageddon, but I'm having some troubles with it.
I install it from the disc and then I install the newest update from the official website. The game runs, but the colors are all fucked up.
I'm on Windows 7 and I have tried running with compability mode for both XP and win98. I've also tried running it with 256 colors, but it's still fucked up.

I love using the ninja rope.
I love it so much.

Well, there was Worms World Party, hehe.

It had the modifiers too.

Peewi

Turns out not having Explorer running fixes the colors being fucked up in Armageddon. That is hardly ideal. I'm willing to buy Worms 2: Armageddon in order to not have to deal with stuff like that.

Me too. I used to play nothing but "roping" matches back in Worms 2. The crowd doing that got so good we could put the round time down to 3-4 seconds and still be able to get over to the other person, plant something, and get to a safe place. I freaking loved that mode. Then Armageddon came and roping was somehow slower. Everyone could still do roping matches, but they had to up the round time by a bit. It was so hard getting used to Armageddon.

TychoCelchuuu

Hahah they have little hats. Probably have to buy this now.

YES! YEEEEEES!

I've been waiting for so long! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

I fucking loved playing shopper, I started to get not terrible at propers as well before I stopped playing it.

So pretty.

Exactly! It's exactly what I've been wanting!

Been waiting a long time for a new proper version of Worms so I can properly kick my husband's ass, er I mean introduce my husband to the glory of Worms.

I saw concrete donkey in the trailer! Wooooooo!
