Hey whats wormpot?

It happens everywhere, the hardcore Counter-Strike faction loves their old CS 1.6 (1.5 to be honest) a lot more than Source or the upcoming Global Offensive. Bad hitboxes and almost zero recoil kills Source for me too.

Or Diablo 3, I know many people that love Diablo 2 or 1 and hate D3. Games shouldn't stagnate because then it gets boring pretty fast and some would feel ripped off if they just make 1:1 W:A with modern graphics.

There's a difference though, whilst these example you mention might change some things they still offer a place for hardcore gamers. Don't you think the vast majority of D2 players will get D3?

I didn't want to make a post worth to reply to, just some obvious things that Worms isn't the only game where old schoolers like their old game more than the upcoming sequel.

Guess they truly added new innovative features this time!!



Worms Revolution features four different classes. Each class plays differently and offers the player different advantages and disadvantages.

...

Say hello to the Heavy!

This worm is the largest and most powerful worm in the game, but he's severely limited when it comes to getting around the landscape and he also makes for the biggest target, meaning he's easier to hit than the other worms.

The Heavy's size and lack of agility means he's simply unable to reach the parts of the landscape that the other classes would take for granted without having to resort to a utility, but even then his extra bulk makes him sluggish on the Ninja Rope and Jetpack. However, the Heavy's extra bulk can work to his advantage as it means he won't travel as far, compared to the other classes, when hit, meaning he has a better chance of staying on the landscape.



[...]eventually the player will be able to unlock a total of 16 worms (4 of each class) to select from to go into their teams - which makes it possible for a player to take any combination of classes into the game. So it's open to the player, you might prefer to take all four of the same class into the game, or mix and match abilities to get the best results[...]



UPDATE: The 2nd class:
The Scout is a more agile class, moving faster than the other classes and jumping higher and further, but this is balanced against his weak attack power. His small size presents him as a slightly smaller target, particularly against ranged attacks, and his light weight means he can fall further without taking damage. However this also means that he's more susceptible to Melee attacks from the other classes or large explosions as the Scout gets blasted further than the other worms.

That's sounds cool.
Here's hoping Team17 pull it off with good design.
Like, literally, hope, for the lack of a more relevant feeling.

This could be interesting, keep us updated HHC!

[NAiL]

yeh that seems cool, would be great to see this "class" system come to WA in the future

[HHC]

 

Well, I know that beside the class system you can also opt for 'classic' worms, where all the worms are equal.

And also, the weapon panel is the same for the entire team (so not like the classes in wormpot), it's just that some worms know their way around a weap better or worse cause of their physical/mental capabilities.

For example, the fat one hitting the tiny scout with a baseball bat will send the victim a looong way. The other way around (small hitting fat) will be nowhere near a homerun.


edit:
Bit more detailed information on the Scout for you.

Advantages:

    Infiltration: The Scout is great for infiltrating enemy dark-side bases! The Scout's fast walk speed and small size makes him ideal for quickly reaching the heart of bases and beating a hasty retreat if necessary. The Scout's small size also allows him to squeeze through the narrowest of tunnels.
    Dark-siding: The Scout is a good class for both dark-siding and anti-dark-siding plays. The Scout's extra speed allows him to dig further than other worms, meaning he can create more complex tunnel networks as well as reach them.
    Collecting: A fast movement speed, coupled with a longer and higher jump makes the Scout ideal for collecting weapon crates. The Scout can cover more of the landscape in a turn, as well as access those tricky to reach areas.
    Crossing Pitfalls: The Scout's movement attributes make him an ideal candidate for crossing mine fields, negotiating hazardous objects and sneaking past Sentry Guns.

UPDATE 3th  & 4th class:

The third class in Worms Revolution to be announced is the Scientist! Please see below for more information about him and don't forget to check back tomorrow to learn about the fourth and final class

The Scientist plays a support role. His physical attributes make him both weaker and slower than most other worms, but for every turn that the Scientist takes he raises the health of the entire team. The Scientist is able to build stronger items, such as Sentry Guns and Electromagnets.



Here's the Soldier. The fourth and final class in Worms Revolution.

The Soldier is like the standard worm from the previous Worms™ games, and is the most well rounded worm in the game. The Soldier is good at attacking and getting around the landscape, though he is not specialised in any particular area.



All classes in one pic:


There are also water bombs in W:Rev. Apparently they burst and creat little pools of water on the map in which worms can drown or make them slide down slides. But dunno the specifics about that one

whilst you explain this upcoming game in great detail, i believe the vast majority of TUS acquaintances wonder how you acquired this knowledge of mass proportion.

Just because you can't do a simple google search doesn't mean... "the vas majority of TUS"...

What's google? The only site I know is TUS, wtf. I thought we were the only couple humans left on earth.

I have Team17 on facebook... nah lol, that would be too geeky. I have them on twitter, which links to their facebook xDDD

All the info I know is there: http://www.facebook.com/WormsTeam17
and at the W:Rev forums at T17: forum.team17.com

[TheWalrus]

the class based system would be fun for realtime worms, like a 2-d team fortress of sorts.  Sooooooooo....this game is officially already better than worms reloaded?

[darKz]

I'm terribly sorry but I don't think it's gonna be any good.. Even if it's innovative and got a couple new ideas, it's gonna be shit physics-wise and bugged as f@#!.
