[…] the fascination with it
…is:
a) more precise scheme and waeapon settings
b) faster rope - better feeling for some (even better as /ir)
c) frontend optimized for pc (W:A's is more optimized for Nintendo64…)
d) ReSolutionWK allows zoooming with mouse - how nice is that?! Why isn't W:A capable of it yet?
apart from that, you are right… patches, updates, active community, etc. is on W:As side… but even here in W:A comunity 5 out of 22 people whant at least the worms2 rope
btw - we were young and stupid, but when w:a came out, precise weapon and scheme settings were missed so much – we switched back to W2.
I wish everyone would have done that 1999/2000, and W:A would be the dead one, everyone playing Worms2-v8.271-Rubber-PX-Flawless-Deluxe
ps: When I finaly find the way to run W2 via wine - I'll call for Worms2-Wednesday…
…and rest of the week no mocking about how much better a developed version of W2 would be compared to W:A
