I've had a bunch of problems with WRev but the one thing I can't stand are the speechbanks. You had a great history of speechbanks, even the 3D games had some interesting ones but I call fail on this game.
1st I couldn't understand a single word of what the worms were saying so I had to turn music and effects to minimum, and speech to max and then, after hearing them all there are only 2 big differences in all speechbanks: girl and towards chipmunk (especially with scout and scientist).
I get you wanted to get the game with voices that everyone sounds the same to make the game more solid or copyright or even censorship but at least add the option to import previous speechbanks from previous games so we can hear ourselves. Why did you abandon xom files? Just having water and a few more sounds makes you scrap your entire speechbank? The Puzzle: Inigma from W:R DLC was brilliant why can't we have that?
I hope a speechbank editor comes in DLC. Also to work with wav and xom files and save it in your own format I don't care just do it.

Importantly though the speechbanks have changed a lot. For every single soundfile in the previous games there are now at least 3 different ones which are randomly chosen by the game, to prevent us from hearing the samples over and over. There are also more situations than before, for instance, the worms comment on falling into dynamic water, on getting close to dangerous objects and they greet their teammates depending on their class ("Hi, Heavy!", "What's up, Brains?")

it's the quality of the voice packs that disappoints me, and the lack of choice, not what is being said. Often the voices are drowned out by the Music and I can only hear them clearly if i wear headphones.
Reloaded had a great variety of packs that also sounded great, but Rev seriously lacks here... with most people using the same 2 speechbanks at the moment.

Go to the options menu, turn down the sounds and effects volume, et voilá.

Hmm... I think the voices are good in this game. I actually like the Drill Sergeant voice much more than the original one... but I'm still missing my Wacky soundbank!

I think it adds to the depth of the game when the worms comment on different situations (like falling into water).
But I miss the old classic ones too. There was even a Hungarian voice (my native language).
Wouldn't it be possible to add them too and let those voices not react to the new situations that weren't commented on in previous games?

Soundbank editor please?
I miss my beloved double-oh-seven and soulman voice banks <3
Also I agree that the current voicebanks sound too much alike, for example thespian had much more personality and felt more distinctive when it wasn't chipmunk-ized.

Don't you think that these new speechbanks are less... varied? I mean, there's little difference between one and another, it looks like the same person dubbed all voices!
