For the next worms game (hopefully 3d) their should be some new weapons, discontinue some weapons the game doesn't need and revamp old weapons which were popular.
Here is my lot
Suggest: Angular wooden giraffe. This would be droped like concrete donkey, but the it explodes into 4, (doing less damage) the another 8 (doing as low as 15 damage.)
Dump: Pass
Continue: Maybe one of the old weapons from the old worms like minigun that was one of my favourites.

Suggest: Bowling Ball. A humourous rumble rumble *bowling pin clatter* when you hit some worms would be good. And if you hit 10, you get a "STRIKE!" message and it gets double damage.
Drop: Sentry Gun. Too Easy.
Continue: Holy Hand Grenade.

Suggest: A rubber girder, can be used like a normal girder but deflects projectiles instead, and when you jump on it it will give you a double jump style boost, but loses its bounce after a few turns then it can be destroyed
Dump: Nothing really
Continue: Flamethrower, one of my favorite weapons next to the minigun:)

If the bowling ball was added, it would be a nice strategic weapon for the game.
Suggest: Ice beam- Fires a icy beam which will freeze the target. When it is the targets turn, he is still frozen and can therefore not move. On the targets next go he will not be frozen anymore, and can move.
Drop: Sentry Gun- Rather annoying and makes the game too easy, as Robowurmz said. If you could only have it for 2 turns or something it would be much better.
Continue: Inflatable Scouser

Suggest:EVIL CANDY!!!!
Drop:I don't know.
Continue:Controllable missile(worms aso)
Dump: Pass
Wait,Did you mean skip go,or could you not think of anything to dump?

I second this. We need this, it sounds so funny.

Nice suggestion! i'd rather like to see this in the game.

Same here, i would be cool if they had two near each other, and you shot a bazzooka and the bullet bounced between them.
I also reckon they should bring back the ability to have girders diangonal and vertical, it would make it easier to hide.

Bouncy girders could even work with bullet weapons, like the shotgun. That way, you could make a tunnel of rubber girders and bounce bullets all the way down.

wouldn't it be cool if the bouncy girder made the bouncy weapons(fatkins strike, bananna bomb etc) bounce colossally.(like 3 quarters up the pot in fast food dino)
And minute 55 by pass i ment i wont drop anything, not that i want them to dump skip go, I acctually think that the skip go annamation is realy funny.

Controllable missile(like the one in Worms:ASO
It's called the Super Sheep.

Great idea there. :p Reminds me pretty much of the rubber blocks in Worms Blast.
Anyway, contributing.
Suggest: Sticky Grenade. Unlike the one from Worms 3D, this one, when thrown at a worm, will stay stuck on his head and detonate about 30 seconds after the next turn starts. Explosion would inflict about as much damage as a bazooka, but it has a much larger splash radius.
This would be some great fun, it would put some trouble in the enemy team, and when misused, it would allow the victim to do some epic kamikaze move. :p
Dump: Icarus Potion. Way too unbalanced in my opinion, cures poison and prevents falling damage. And anyway, it's like a weaker, but everlasting jetpack.
Continue: Carpet Bomb. It's still much fun and destruction, even in 3D (http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5309/carpetbomb1tr8.png). (lost the screenshots of the weapon actually in action, and no, this isn't a retarded model replacement)

Great idea!Totally-not-the-super-sheep!
You get the point.It is NOT a sheep.I guess it is similar a bit.But,it is a bit diffrent.The idea is to make it less likely to get compared to the homing missile,but more likely to get than the super sheep.

Its not really a new idea and I wouldn't be bothered if it was in the game or not, to be honest.

Great idea! Basically, this would be a missile-shaped Super Sheep that immediately starts flying around and does less damage. Totally awesome, you should be hired by Team17 right now!
Fixed .
As I stated in another thread, accept your mistakes and you'll look smarter.

I know about it not being new,as it was in aso.but i guess i should move it to continue.

If you knew about it not being new or original, why did you suggest it?

I really can't see the point on that, other than that it would end the opponent's go early the next round if they were playing on a greater-than-30-seconds-turn match. And the thought that you could use it once it's on you to get back at the enemy wouldn't work, because nobody would be stupid enough to put it on the worm whose go is next if they were within walking range of your worms.

Because you totally always know which enemy worm will be next. :p

You nearly always should. Once a worm takes their go, they're targetable, because you know exactly whether or not their go is next. And that's presuming that worm order is randomised; otherwise you know EXACTLY whose go is next if you know your opponent.
And it doesn't even remotely work for matches with more than two players.

I knew it reminded me of somthing out of a worms game:)
Mabe other weps from worms blast (Like the laser) could be helpful too.
Suggest: Laser - The laser could shoot through worms, and landscape for sudden death situations; If you cant see the worm through the land, it is shown by a red circle (allies showed by a green circle).
Suggest: Characters from worms blast (Like Rocky:)) would be different too but it will be wierd when a concrete donkey uses a concrete donkey
Dump: Yes! sentry gun
Dump: Surrender (does anybody use that? Although quitters might need it It's kind of a default:()
Continue: Nuclear Strike, Does nothing if used incorrectly, but its still fun knowing your using the worlds 'dirtiest' weapon, used correctly its devastating!
Continue: Armageddon, Rare but fun!
