thats the only point of having worms with XBL; so you can download weapons. i mean i wanted the bat pretty badly. the mortar; the holy grendade; the granny!!! something~!
but new backgrounds? can you say horse armor.
im sorry team 17 but im a huge fan and i wish i didnt have to be critical; worms on N64 is still the best worms ever? your killin me here!

I thought the main point was being able to play worms on your XBOX 360. There's also the achievements, leaderboards, online play and voice chat.

I think it is fair to say that we have been spoiled since the days of Worms DC on the Amiga... but just because there are none of the later additions, the game doesn't suffer.
In fact I personally feel that the addition of live play has made it better, and superfluous weapon additions would merely add to an already great game.
The new backgrounds were essential, plus the voices... the only other essential that would have been nice would be a level designer.

Its a fair point tho, All the pritty backgrounds arent worth nish if we didnt get new weopons which actually change the game play a little bit.
We need new weopons to stop the game play going stagnant!!!
Com'on team 17 get it sorted. :mad:

If this is how it's going for you, then you aren't playing it right. The weapons chosen for Worms XBLA were chosen specifically because they were the "core" weapons. They aren't adding any. Can I safely assume that you are the sort of person who would play the other Worms games with Full Wormage on, then keep playing that until you got bored?
The weapon set was chosen with the base strategic gameplay in mind. Nothing too fancy. A lot of people may be mising the large damage effects of the HHG or donkey, but they're not in for a reason.

Dont get me wrong Melon
I av been playing all the worms games, for years, It just would av been nice to be able to have the choice to av timed weopons such as a holy granades, super sheep baseball bat, somethin that would come available late on in tha game when people have dug in. Even a flood to spice the element of diging in an then havin to scramble up to safety.
Just nice to have the option, am not one for full wormage but i like to taylor different sets of games which creat a differernt game xperiences, with timed weopeons and limitations to what you have available. But with the lack of options its like u have a limit to what types of games you can create.
Even the setting where you cant move yer worm unless u use the rope would have been decent. but then the ropes been handycapped so that wouldn't work on this version.
Just dont think this worms captures the playabilty of some of it predesesors to be honest, Dont get me wrong i love the game, But it i remember the earlier versions being a whole lot more playable and a little bit more fun.

"Horse armour"? Arent worth "nish"? The N64 version was the best ever?
I've wandered into a parallel world again, haven't I?

All i was looking for was a few more variables other than a pritty background,
Which makes no difference at all!!!!
Its the same landscapes with a different picture in the back.
An for the record my vote goes to the very 1st worms on the playstaion 1.
Classic. :cool:

Y'know what, we should put a ban on outstanding stupidity in this forum.

personally I agree with Wormetti that we're lucky to able to play the game on XBLA full stop.
that tallied with the fact that my broadband FINALLY got sorted today means I can get back on playing a game I adore on a console I love! not physically though....

You know, I wouldn't say that the N64 version was the best. I'd say WOW 2, which is coming up (With ALL-NEW weapons too!) or W:A are the best.

It's not your opinions, it's that you made opinions that completely contradict themselves. Worms1 had even less options and less weapons than WormsXBLA!

As worms 1 had a total differernt feel to it, i wouldnt class them the same as the worms 2 versions.
I only meant looking back as with most games you look back and think things were great am sure if i played it now it wouldnt be how i remembered it.
All am saying is that it would of been nice to have a few more weopons to alter the gamesand taylor them a little bit more
As opposed to a different background with the same landscapes.
Are you not allowed to voice an opinion on a forum without someone trying to take a shot at you.
Am guessing Plasms would prefer a new bk ground for future contents than something that has a bit more substanance that can alter the gameplay a little.
Am allowed an opinion am not forcing it on anyone am just having an opinion

do you really think it's spelled "pritty?"

You know, cjc, you should capitalise your sentences, before you correct mistakes other people make.
Also, if you are asking a question that ends with quotes, put the question mark AFTER them, like:
Do you really think it's spelled "pritty"?
Grammar, Grammar, Grammar!
Pound it into them!
I was thinking, that "Smartness" mod on the FacePunch Studios Forum may be a good idea...
...it would stop a lot of idiots posting for one thing...most people who make stupid and/or irrelevant comments and posts have bad spelling.
Also, scouselege, please use correct puntication. Questions are ended with questionmarks, as I'm sure you know. It's not that hard to type "?" at the end!
"Am guessing"
Ooh! That one's nasty! Don't forget the "I"!
Learn the comma!
End sentences with full stops.
It's "Weapons", not "weopons".
If in doubt, look in a dictionary or something.
Oh, and a side note to everyone, if I see the word "granade" ONE MORE TIME, I WILL IMPLODE!
Please, folks! READ. IN-GAME.
The weapon names are THERE!

*Punctuation.
*Question marks. (Not one word)
*Dictionary.
You know, considering the nature of your post I would of thought you would at least put it through a spell checker. :p

Contrary to what everyone else seems to be saying, I actually agree with whoever it is that wants new weapons (cant be bothered to hit copy, backspace, look for name and then paste =P ). In fact, thats the sole reason I joined the forum :p I remember playing the first few 2d worms games on the PC and all the hilarious weapons like the old woman, super sheep, holy hand grenade and the complete pointless but still fun drill. If you want to play with only the core weapons just disable the rest when you play. I, on the other hand, would sure as hell appreciate them. Watching the old woman edging slowly overtowards your mates worm and hearing them scream in horror never grows old. In my opinion, the inclusion of these weapons along with other minor issues Ill post in a minute would really make the game a lot more enjoyable and raise it from a 75-80% rated game to a 90% game. Dont get me wrong, I think the game is totally awesome and my favourite XBLA game. It can still be improved upon is all.
Other minor issues I dont like:
Jetpack is too good. It should be like the teleport in that once you've stopped using it your turn ends, but you should still be able to drop mines/dynamite mid-flight. I love bombing runs =) Or if thats a bad idea, at least make the fuel time shorter. Its too easy to just fly across half the map and send someone flying off the edge before they've had there first turn and had a chance to move. Which leads on to my second point.
4 worms isnt enough. I liked it when you could have 8. Naming all my worms after the best of my football team was cool. Now I have to pick 4 =( Also, the lack of worms means that on a 4 player XBL match it is possible to only have 1 worm left by the time you start your go.
Maps are too small and random generator doesnt always make good ones. There should be a map-maker mode and larger maps. Surely increasing the map size and adding more worms into the fray is possible on a tank of a console like the 360? At the moment there the same size and open warfare maps =(
Ive forgotten thje rest of what I wanted to say, but while on the ubject of Open Warfare, more touch screen DS controls would have been nice. Your worm could be displayed on the bottom screen and you should have to spin the stylus around him to aium in different directions. This is what I expected, and I was dissapointed. Its just a complete port of the PSP version with touch screen menus =(

Likewise, this is the third generation of 2D games now, but you're still classing them the same as the second.

No, not really.
