so we're calling new worm titles physics realistic now?
You guys and your vocabulary. Realistic doesn't mean real life like, since when do grenades bounce like footballs or donkeys fall from the sky? Realistic clearly means consistent. There is no consitency in newer worm titles, because there is no physics simulation, just shortcuts. In WA, you can use an explosive weapon like a grenade to get an enemy worm to any place in the map depending how you use/drop the weapon, including onwards and slightly to a side. You could even make him fall on a pixel if you so desired to. There are more angles, there are many more possible outcomes for any given shot.
The shortcuts used in physics of WMD are crystal clear from all the videos. Worms do bounce off vertical walls, that's all, but their speed is irrelevant, the moment they touch the ground they slide for 1 second and stop, it doesn't matter the angle they come flying from or at what velocity they do, it's not consistent, it's not deep, there's no gravity, no weight, no friction. Movement of worms, tanks and such, it's Gunbound like, as if slopes didn't matter.
Compare a game of intermediate in WA to anything similar in newer worm games, it's like comparing chess to checkers, like f@#!ing literally.
