I see no point in having features in a website that you could have in the frontend of the game itself.

What would be useful is having it in both places, so you can check your ranks/standings from a mobile device/@work

While having in both would be a great idea. Having those features in the game itself won't be as flexible as running them in a website. Not to mention a website bring people/community together more.

yeah I understand MI. But by having game features in third party you are losing potential usage. I don't think TUS will die, and if it does it won't be because of 4.0. or Steam. But do not worry. I mean, there's no reason why if per example 4.0 comes with a map database people could still use TUS because it has richer features and is updated more often, or who knows, TUS could be WA's map repository.

There's too many uncertainties at this point to know how 4.0 will affect TUS, but I'm certain of one thing. 4.0 will be an improvement for WA even if it hinders TUS current status.

I don't worry actually. I made TUS when there were many things threatening TUS activity. Not that now I'm cocky about this, but I know how to pull TUS together if things go wrong.

Indeed 4.0 will be a nice improvement. I guess about TUS, I was kinda proposing a merge with WN. This month will be the 3rd time TUS is passing over a million visits. I'm sure both WN and TUS could benefit some kind of a merge, not to mention many "web" works will be on me, which will free up more time for game developers.

1 million hits a month, that's nice man, congrats

What's WA 4.0? Some mystical thing that doesn't even exist. TUS is real and cool

Dunno if KRD wrote that text on worms2d.info or who did, but (as in ropa sentence too) correctly would be to change all that "will" into "would".
Or sorry if I don't know something that U might do, but are U are sure it will ever come out at all? If not, then definitely "would" is more appropriate..

Is this still accurate?

Btw, what happened to FoW idea? Failed?

I stated the link because it describes facts. This means that these things are already decided regarding W:A 4.0, please read the beginning of that article. And yes, the 4.0 will come out for sure (as the article itself also states - It will be ready this decade).
And what do you mean regarding FoW? This is a PX CTF scheme.

The physic engine was mostly due to Andy Davison who doesn't work at Team17 since short before WA was relased AFAIK.

Team17 made WWP, following HHC's argumentation and it wasn't much of a success AFAIK.

What makes WA great it's its depth in its physics, it's what makes the learning curve so steep and what makes the game so complex with new schemes every year.
We, as hardcore wormers, understand this, but ultimately, the lack of such depth, ignored by most worm users, is not going to make the game sell more or less.
I didn't buy any worms game beyond WWP because I knew the physics wouldn't be complex enough to improve the WA experience, I'm sure many more people proceeded as I did, but for every one of us there's 10 more that will buy a new worm games to see sheeps explode.

So yeah, team17 won't make this like we would like unless they give DC and CS all the power or unless they start listening (albeit not to most of you lot)

Actually the reason I never bought a 3D Worms wasn't the depth, it was just that roping was so limited or undeveloped that it ruined 90% of the fun for me.
No "professional" roping, no Anubis.

@StepS, I was not referring to U and this have nothing to do with U, so stfhhhu and go make some PX 5.x or something...
U're another story, diff subject.
;x

whatever

That's cool, do you happen to know if it'll be in 2012 or 2019?
