Question: Offline League?

[NiBoR]

Hello everybody, first off all, be gentle with me, my english writing skills are, well...Let´s say a little rusty ;)

Me and my buddy are so excited for the new Worms game, we are still playing Worms 1 (PSone) all the time, (yes, you red right, I am still playing Worms 1).

Now to my question. In Worms 1, you can create teams, with which you can compete in a league.
Now, I don´t have any other Worms game, so I dont know if this feature is still in the games. We both have been playing our League for ages now, and I really hope we can start a new one in Worms Revolution.
So, is there any chance, that there is an offline league, like in Worms 1?

And if not, do the other Worms games have such a league? The Game of the year Edition of Worms Armageddon for example. I am asking, because its available in Europes PlayStation Store.


I hope, someone can answer my question.

I don't have an answer for you but your English is excellent.

By league, do you mean all the teams on the computer getting points for doing deathmatch with one another? I haven't seen that since Worms Armageddon.

['HHC]

Yeah, this is not in Worms: Rev (unless I'm overseeing things).

Too bad yeah, I really liked the feature in Worms2. In WA you can just see the points, in Worms2 there was more to see if I remember well :)

Worms Reloaded has it, too, but that's not what he means... the offline leaderboards in the original Worms provide a lot more information and stats. Even every single worm form every single team has his own ranking.

Oh, thanks, I honestly can´t tell, if I am good or not. I watch and read a lot of stuff in english, but I have no one to actually practice and improve my english skills. Thats why I allways say this up front. So, if I say or write something and it wrong, it´s not so embarrassing :D

I think Thurbo knows what I mean.
For those of you, who don´t know, here is a picture of how the screen looks like (at least for PSone).

You can see everything there. How many matches, wins, loses, how many Worms died, how many kills the team made. Me and my buddy, we really enjoy this league thing. We made up 16 Teams and just play against each other. I think we do this now for at least 2 or 3 years and it´s still fun :D

But, well it is Worms 1 and it is from 1995, which is why we were so excited that they release a new game.
I never played one of the other Worms games, he did, but he can´t remember if they had such a "League System".


I really hope someone here can answer my question, because like I said before, if Worms Revolution doesn´t have such a League, maybe one of the older games has it. I allways hear that Armageddon is the best game. There is a game of the year edition in Europes PlayStation Store (I am playing on a PS3), which is why I ask about Armageddon.

I allready looked everywhere on the web and asked around, no one can help me. This here is my last idea, if someone can help me, than here ;)

Oh, this "Offline League System" was great!!!

I played a lot of Worms games on consoles, but such an "Offline League System" like in the first Worms was in none of them, unfortunately. Some of them had statistics but nothing like this great "Offline League System".

You asked about Worms Armageddon and I think in the PSone and N64 Version was nothing like this.

[SupSuper]

I don't know about Worms Revolution, but I'm pretty sure no other game in the series has the league feature, they simplified it to each team just having a score after the first Worms series. You can still get the first game on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/70640/) and GoG (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/worms_united) if you wanna relive those memories.

Btw, when people talk about Armageddon being the best game, they usually mean Worms Armageddon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms_Armageddon) (1999 PC game), not Worms 2: Armageddon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms_2:_Armageddon) (2010 XBLA/PSN game).

[NiBoR]

Hmm, that´s too bad. We were really hoping to continue our League in a Worms game, which isn´t from 1995.

So Team17, if you ever read this, you have at least two people in Germany who would buy a Worms game if you bring this "League System" back. ;)


Besides, do people from Team17 read this?

The Worms Armageddon game for PSone only lists the number of points a team has Nibor. These points depend on how many worms got killed, etc. In a game with 18 worms divided over 6 teams, I think about 5 out of 6 teams get positive points, the winning team even a whole bunch. So it isn't any good.

You can get more accurate stats though by going to the Team Statistics in the Options menu. There you can see number of games won/lost and number of worms killed. But it's rather annoying to check them one team at a time.


I don't know if you are willing to give worms on the PC a try. I'm positive you will like the one in Worms 2. It has a nice standings table and you can make a lot of teams.
I don't think Worms 2 was ever released on PS. Worms 2: Armageddon was, but that's a totally different game.

[Star&Moon]

I guess the closest thing you can get to the offline league now is that some games -right after playing a match- show some statistics from the game like "Worm 2 had the best shot, it dealed x damage.", "Worm 6 joined the darkside" or "Worms 4 killed 5 enemy worms" et cetera. As far as I know, this is in most worms games.

First of all, thank you all for your answers. I´am sorry, I wanted to post something the last couple of days, but I had problems with my internet provider. Now I can finally go online again.
So thanks again :-/
