Team17 has announced Worms WMD

How do you get "materials" to craft them, though? Or is it a win more type of thing? You kill worms, earn points and then you can spent those on crafting.

They come from crate pickups or by disassembling your own weapons

It would be kind of cool if there were random collectibles on the ground. You get a flower and merge it with Bazooka and then you will have Flower Bazooka!

A lot of new reveals in this one!

Here's every weapon / utility that has been confirmed:

What a waste!

If this Ninja Rope Pro for example turns out to be the best rope, you can't create schemes based on that... Wat.

There's supposed to be new WMD livestream in a couple of hours here: https://www.twitch.tv/team17ltd

Some very interesting weapon concepts there...promising.

I assume that it'll be something like unlocking The Full Wormage. At some point, all weapon variants WILL become available.

Won't they?

Anubis · June 17, 2016, 12:34 AM

I wonder if we ever get to see a video dedicated to the rope(s), if you need capable persons to best showcase this, there are plenty in this community.

Seriously... Like when the f**k has an army or whatever went "Sorry, you can't use this gun until you kill 10 taliban"... Really don't enjoy that style of gaming.

No drill, no access to weapons until you unlock them, crafting, basically stealing crap ideas from other games, starting to dislike this game again...

Dunno if I can be bothered buying it now

Ropa sometimes you cross the line!!!! Sure komo did act as a 14 years old boy but 13??? cmom man...

It was a bit pathetic if you ask me.

Unlocking things is fun, no need to get served all the goodies right away. You have to earn it

It's better that than having to buy to progress.

They are not unlockables, they are weapons that can be used only in crafting schemes, after you've collected enough materials to craft them. Meaning that majority of their gameplay potential is wasted. These things could be easily hidden under "Advanced Settings" in the scheme editor.

It is obvious that they consciously ignore the scheme customization and everything that would add to the replayability, because they don't want to make actually great games that people would play for years. They want people to play their games for a year at most, because that's when they release the next one.

TheKomodo · June 17, 2016, 08:08 PM

Yes, of course, I am 13 because I am getting pissed off at the choices Team17 are making and refuse to spend my money on their products!

Oh yes because i'd rather be known as DJ f**kin fossil instead...

Edit: Well, I actually will be buying it seeing as it's a prize for the JpBnG Tournament lol xD

Sensei · June 18, 2016, 02:40 AM

Nice posts guys, you actually seem to care. Had a few laughs.
Now it's time for Jonno guy to write something in honor of Team17, so we can go back full circle

Rope video or lock the thread!
