Man o man, I still have my original CD-ROM of the game, drew a cover for it and played the hell out of it when I was a youngen. Still the best Worms game imho, I'll sure as hell rebuy it when the price drops a little.skrat_01Just be careful what you buy, this is not the Armageddon you like, this is the 2012 remake and since it's more of a World Party, it has nothing on Revolution, not even the original Armageddon.

This isn't just a port of Armageddon? Oh dear.[QUOTE="skrat_01"]Man o man, I still have my original CD-ROM of the game, drew a cover for it and played the hell out of it when I was a youngen.

The newest Worms game Revolution was actually pretty well done.Â
It is my favorite of the series, followed closely behind by Armageddon.
Â
The one that came out before Revolution (the 3d remakes) weren't bad for single player, but really lacked in multiplayer department.Â

This IS the original 1999 Armageddon. Not a port, not a sequel, not a remake, the ORIGINAL. With updates for larger maps, better online functionality, and bugfixes. The only thing missing is the original ranking system, which hasn't existed for many years due to cheaters (edit: which also don't exist anymore :P).

And various gameplay differences due to it actually being World Party with Armageddon maps, you try too hard, but even the developers released it as Armageddon 2012, a remake.

Anyway, it's a bad investment, it's simply bad compared to Revolution any worms made so far is bad compared to it.

Armageddon has always been similar to World Party. The only difference between the two besides a few maps and options is that Armageddon has kept on receiving updates all this time since 1999. And although Revolution uses 3D graphics and fancy water weapons, it has slower gameplay, looser physics, fewer weapons, and fewer options.Â

Revolution might have fewer weapons, but every single one of them has a huge impact on the game, it's several levels above anything possible in terms of tactics and diversity in anything Worms be it 2D or 3D, it especially gets rid of the stupid death on just touching the water, as for Armageddon, sorry to say this, but if something good 13 years ago slowly turns into the same garbage they released several years later, that is not what I consider Armageddon. Worms World Party was terrible, so is Armageddon 2012, Reloaded was decent, same with Mayhem, Revolution however pushes the standards and gameplay, I never thought Team 17 would be good enough to make such an excellent game.DanielDustMan, are you confused... Armageddon is championed for its excellent weapon balance. Aside for some overpowered superweapons (which are incredbly FUN to use), every weapon is useful, even weak ones like the Handgun, Mortar, and Prod. It depends on the situation, and with my experience I can tell you that these situations DO come up. And in Revolution, the base water still kills instantly. The new dynamic water (more like a collection of slimy blobs), used on the map itself, doesn't. Again, WA has always used exactly the same engine as WWP. If you hated WWP, you must have hated the original WA (which is this release). I can take my 1999 WA CD-ROM, install it, apply the latest 3.7.2.1 update, and have the Steam release (they're 100% cross-compatible online, BTW). Same physics, weapons, and maps as always, but with additional features like giant maps, mod plugins, and full Windows 7/modern hardware compatibility. Here's some learnin' for you: http://worms2d.info/Main_Page http://worms2d.info/Worms_Armageddon http://worms2d.info/Worms_World_Party http://worms2d.info/Updates_%28Worms_Armageddon%29 http://worms2d.info/WormNET_statistics
You're right with one thing, I did not like Armageddon (only the GBA version, slightly) and you're right with another, I hated World Party, you're outrageously wrong with your underestimating of Revolution, I didn't say weapons in Armageddon aren't viable, I said they're the same in efficiency and tactics, they change almost nothing, they're boring (won't mention Mayhem at all, since it makes Armageddon, WP and Reloaded look pathetic in terms of weapons), in Revolution everything has a strong impact on what you do and they should drop all support for everything previously released and work more on physics based weapons.
