in worms logo, in the weapon screen, just everywhere you can see the radioactive symbol for the nuke...
but there is no nuke in the whole game :(
i wish they would make a new improved nuke (the old was lame, i mean come on its the strongest weapon in mankind) like a very strong air strike with only one bomb doing very much damage. or something like armageddon: a nuke drops randomly anywhere on the map and does high damage.
whats your suggestion on the nuke?

A blinding flash over the whole screen, every worm made sick and their health reduced to half of what it was. Its use would be Beneath the Planet of the Apes style, "damn you all to hell...". We definately need a Charlton Heston voice style haha.

Methinks you didn't think this one through.

The nuke has never meant to be a ground-zero, airblast destructive weapon.
In Worms games where it appeared (WDC, W2, WA, W3D, W4M) its primary effect is to sink the land.
The French national anthem for the nuke in W2 alludes to the underground test at the Mururoa atoll back in the mid 1990s and the Indian Nuke Test in WA alludes to the tests in the Rajastan desert in 1998, where radioactive fallout occured, hence the added poisoning effect in WA.
In W3D and W4M the nuke is a surface explosion, which can be seen in the far background, but it still only sinks the land, and doesn't destroy it.
Besides, the Concrete Donkey and Armageddon already are available strike weapons that do massive damage.
How much more terrain would you want to blow away?

He wants to be like the noob modders in W4 and have a bomb that blows away the whole map.
Some mods were awesome, but too many people did that rubbish.

Aw, well.
That'd make rounds pretty much a gamble on who starts first and does the first strike.
Hmm...
This could work if we also had Dr. Strangelove-type doomsday devices. ;)

I think it would be great to have some variation on Big Boss from WWP (is that his name?). Armageddon is too random, it basically ends a game in tie. Nuke would be soo freakin' awesome if it would be somethig ~2x powerful than Holy Grenade, but as an airstrike. Of course it would be as rare as Armageddon or Donkey.

I likede it they changed French nuke to Indian one :p
W4M didn't have a nuke, only an item called tidal wave. Land sinks but no poison efects.

God, i love that movie. Gives me chills every time i hear that song.
And i kinda like the suggestion of Moki. Add a nuclear bomb as an air strike that's stronger than HHG. Would need a special sound effect too.

I really liked the Indian Nuke Test and I am missing it a LOT in W2:Armageddon on XBL. :-(

I can already see it. Whole screen would you go white with loud, deep 'boooom'. And it would look as a big, fat rocket. Half of the island - gone.
Woot!

Okay, guys, seriously; do you not know what a nuclear bomb is?
Here's a tip: it makes a big explosion! I don't mean just an explosion the size of a small school, I mean BIG! Like, the entire map and all of the worms instantly vaporised! And the water too! Heck, even the next map you play would be gone before you start, because it's that flipping powerful!
Your suggestions of a "make it as strong as 10 strong grenades" is patently ridiculous here.

Wait wait wait...
Did you just keep saying about how much you wanted a nuke in the game, and then mock someone when they point out what a nuke is?
What?!

Well I don't think your suggestion is more valid, actually...
We could start pointing out what worms are: limb-, eye- and handless creatures that eat dirt all the day and dung our garden. If they added a nuke it didn't have to be that big, they could also add a small one. After all this game isn't really realistic with its weapons anyway :rolleyes:

I didn't say I want it, I say I want it. Or else, that it would be nice. And it doesn't change anything 'bout fact that Armageddon would be pretty much same as your suggestion.

Why get nukes when we could get achievements, hats, perhaps different new weapons in the future updates ? : >
The nuke itself : If added should remain the same and also be rare. Activating the nuke is somehow like going sudden death. I can see being on a server, w/e gets it boom activates it instantly and so on. (Massive destruction weapons are not that fun :P not even in Real Life lol, nowadays you drop a nuke, you killed a city, back then you had to invade it with tanks , infantry) That's the worms style :D To war !

I think Armageddon is enough for an end-it-all weapon (even though, with some luck, a worm can survive it), it's not like you need another one. :-/

Thurbo

Don't worry, Team17 decreased the power of Armageddon. This time around, you need to cause two Armageddons to match up the Armageddon in WA/WWP ;)

That's probably for the best, the Armageddon was always a little too overpowered for practical use in most situations. Maybe now you can be subtle about preparing your worms for it without the enemies immediately figuring out your plan.

Sounds like he wants a MOAB more than a Nuke. As has been said, an actual nuke hitting the land would cause far more than just a big explosion. One in the distance would cause poison effects.
However, I think a MOAB is more suited to this task - it's a really big, high-payload explosive device and would cause the explosion you want without the added side-effect of appearing too wimpy compared to the real-life equivalent.
edit:
Also what is it with kids being obsessed with completely overpowered and/or unbalanced weapons? It'd be less a game of strategy and more a game of who-is-lucky-enough-to-get-it-in-the-crate-first (or indeed, with some of the less patient children, who-takes-the-first-turn).

As I see it, Worms is a parody of war, not a homage to it... there is MW2 for those tastes.

I think, keep the nuke the same, but have a big flash of light, and the animation of an explosion in the background. It would look pretty cool.
