WHY DOES THE TANK JUMP

For Time Trial Tank Race (TTTR)  (@) Kradie.

if u host a cup I'll join

Hah, deal XD

[Jonno_Team17]

WHY DOES THE TANK JUMP

Because it's just a re-skinned bazooka that protects your worm from damage or whatever

Yeah, I remember the bazooka shooting 6 times a turn with adjusting aim too. Good times!


To the tank racing crew, you've got my attention! Combine that with the image importer and I think you're onto something.

Me too, back in year 2000. One of the most popular Fiddler features.

edit: in fact, so popular, it made it to wormpot in Team17's very own DLC sold as a full priced stand alone game, WWPEP.

[Husk]

Jonno it's painful to see how lacking ur experience is about worms

remember, u r talking with players who have played w2, wa and wwp for thousands of hours online

[Aerox]

The biggest slap in the fact in these 20 years of worms is that we are yet to see a weapon editor

Gentle reminder:

I'll be streaming 30 minutes of Worms W.M.D at 6:30pm BST tonight over at www.twitch.tv/team17ltd

This will be on the build I took to E3, but on the PC build instead of XB1. (I will still be playing on controller as that's my preferred method)

The first 5 minutes will be dedicated to the Ninja Rope - during which I'll be swinging about. If you want a 'rope video' this will be your chance, I may even take trick requests!

Looking forward to showing the 3 ropes off. Just remember I'm not at the level of the Rope Racers - that is a whole new league lol!

[Anubis]

You never will be if you don't start using the keyboard.

[Jonno_Team17]

You never will be if you don't start using the keyboard.

Haha quite true.

I'll swap back over to it when the game launches. I'll be playing on console at home & PC at work so getting a good mix in.

[ANO]

Many thanks Jonno for the streaming!!!

Regarding our shoutbox... well, you know, we like being polemic in w:a. uaahauh

It would be very interesting to see how the rope looks like in an appropriate map with an appropriate roper guy. It would be easier for us to give you more relevant feedbacks.
Is there any possibility you can invite some of our English ropers who might live close to you for a short streaming session? that would be funny.

Code: [Select]

[Today at 05:40 PM] Spain Aerox: reminds me when they said they built WWP from scratch and it just turned out to be a WA clone
[Today at 05:41 PM] Netherlands HHC: WA is copied from W2, wasnt a prob then. It is now though cause prev code sucks :)
[Today at 05:43 PM] Spain Aerox: "this is armageddon"

[Today at 05:43 PM] Italy ANO: it s not what we wanted jooonno
[Today at 05:44 PM] Italy ANO: btw, it's hard to judge... Jon sucks as hell
[Today at 05:44 PM] Spain Aerox: yeah, if he doesn't even shadow, we don't know how the direction shooting works

[Today at 05:51 PM] United States TheWalrus: rope looks good
[Today at 05:52 PM] United States TheWalrus: looks like a clean clone of WA rope
[Today at 05:52 PM] Italy ANO: not completely
[Today at 05:52 PM] United States TheWalrus: the worms roping animation looks ridiculous though
[Today at 05:52 PM] Italy ANO: one looks like an elastic
[Today at 05:52 PM] Italy ANO: and the other, the noob one, seems to have potential, but with Jonno roping we can t understand
[Today at 05:52 PM] Spain Aerox: thing is
[Today at 05:52 PM] United States TheWalrus: the vehicles are asinine though, looks like shit
[Today at 05:53 PM] Spain Aerox: you shouldn't expect anything from the guys that called the best rope the "newbie rope"
[Today at 05:53 PM] Italy ANO: auhauh
[Today at 05:53 PM] Spain Aerox: and now in retrospect they're saying they named the best rope that ironically
[Today at 05:54 PM] Spain Aerox: it basically means there's two rope weapons there no one is going to use
[Today at 05:55 PM] Italy ANO: torch and mine look the same than in wa
[Today at 05:55 PM] Italy ANO: I m not convinced about the zooka.. it seems shit
[Today at 05:58 PM] Spain Aerox: "what we really wanted to show you was the ninja rope"
[Today at 05:58 PM] Spain Aerox: spends 30 minutes throwing airstrikes to each other

[Today at 06:05 PM] United Kingdom spleen17: Dont know why everyone was so hyped about this game to be honest
[Today at 06:08 PM] United States TheWalrus: its the best worms game since WWP already, that much is clear
[Today at 06:08 PM] United States TheWalrus: hence the hype
[Today at 06:08 PM] Ukraine Xrayez: being able to import png maps and make unique schemes gives some hope
[Today at 06:20 PM] Italy ANO: I ll give a chance, maybe it will bring more people to play... lots of noobs uahuah Asbest will be 1st again

ok, n1
now it's worms armageddons turn

[Ryan]

If you need any help with ninja rope testing I am literally 2 hours away.

[Rabbzz]

Anyone else found the way the worm was spinning a bit weird? Seemed to be spinning around the weapon
 as apposed to spinning around the centre of the worm.

[TheKomodo]

Nice, I like the Rope!

Not sure if it's as good as WA Rope but looks good enough to build some schemes around and actually do basic moves like shadow/extend/spike, not bothered about precision moves like kicks/pumps as those are mainly glam anyway which was so 15 years ago...

@Jonno:

Sorry if this has already been answered but the thread is massive now don't want to spend all morning looking for this.

About roping in W.M.D, the maps look really 3D with bright backgrounds which personally speaking puts me off roping, will we be able to use 2D maps similar to WA? And will we be able to turn the background off so it's pure black like WA?

This is very important as I always play with no background.

Now if they could just add the drill, i'd be very happy
