Hello all,
I have found a bug with the Replay system, quite often something small will be different in the replay (eg. a worm might not get thrown as far as it did when it actually happened). And this can change the replay entirely, because of the Butterfly effect, i had one where 3 worms died, but when it replayed, only one died...
I am assuming there is some sort of randomisation for certain things in the game and because they dont happen exactly the same when the replay shows due to the randomisation it stuffs it up.. has any else found this?

Yep same bug is in WOW1 and Worms XBLA. They should fix it in a future worms game but it's not really important, it's right most of the time and most people just skip replays.

0.o The AI just shot a rocket on flat land, and it started replaying it =S What was so great about that one rocket?

Does it actually change the outcome after the replay?

The outcome stays the same as you originally saw it. The replay sometimes just shows you what could have happened in a parallel universe. Watch out for the worms with facial hair.

That same bug is in Worms Director's Cut

Occasionally in Worms Armageddon, something that changed in a replay, would affect the actual played event. This was some time ago (2002?), and I can't remember if I was online or not. However, it was VERY rare.
I used to wonder if I had short term memory loss.
