That's in Worms 2. In WA dud mines will never explode again.

I didnt know they took out dud mine detonation in WA, that really sucks...Its was such a fun feature, They should bring it back !
And yes, regarding The Booby Trapped Scheme points, i really agree with your take on this. i really support the idea of having
more control on scheme modification.

I feel that Scheme makers should have all the freedom they want and players should just be aware of all the scheme settings, get used with the scheme. And this is something that would be good to have: players could check all the scheme settings, rules, and features while in game, by pressing ESC or something. This is something very important that WA lacks.

100% I agree with you on this, that would make WA way better !

Booby trapped crates are in W2, and never became a thing ever since, apparently nobody likes them

the homing weapons probably got removed due to balance issues, and some of these weapons are filling in the same purpose and usage that already exists, being the homing missile. also air strike is already a point-and-click weapon. also cluster trick exists

Booby Trapped Crates existed since The original game Worms 1 (1995) release, And i agree with you i hated them too at first.
However i grew to love them, Since they provide a cool risk mechanic to the game, Since they are just as dangerous
to you as they are to your enemy.

 And yes, the homing weapons were removed because of balance issues, however i find it strange because there are weapons that were even stronger then those like the donkey and carpet bomb, thats still in the game... Alas your not wrong tho.

Lifeform84, welcome! (did you copy that from another text editor?)

W:A may lack some of old features but it certainly offers lots of other unique features.

Yeah, i know been playing WA for years since the game came out, However never competitively tho. i mostly enjoy playing VS AI.

I am new to this site tho...

 

As someone who grew up with many of the worms games, WA will always be my favorite game in mind.

However both the classic Worms United, and Worms 2 have a special place in my heart since

they had features that WA did not include for various reasons.

Worms United introduced us to exploding crates, Now many people Hated it, and so did i at first,

However it grew on me eventually.

Exploding Crates became one of my favorite features in both worms 1 and 2, its soo sad it was removed in Armageddon.

Now i understand the hate for it, it really sucks when you pick up a create and it goes "Boom" it your face, i had that done to me

many games, However it balances itself perfectly out when the same "Boom" can go to your enemy as well, so it gives players a

high risk and reward feeling, and i love that, i feel disappointed it was removed from WA at the very lease they should

have made it an option to turn "ON" or "Off" so players can choose that option on crates, instead of totally removing it.

I really miss the homing airstrikes in worms 2, and the homing cluster bombs, those where fun weapons to play around.

AFAIK both of them were removed because many complained they were overpowered and requiring no skill to use.

I strongly disagree with this sentiment due to these reasons.

Both of them were very uncommon weapons in crates, making the rarity behind them in my opinion justified.

The homing cluster bomb needed to be used at a certain range for it to be useful in a situation, so it depends, even with the

homing clusters they were not 100% accurate all the time.

Now the homing airstrike is a whole different story, Yes it was a very accurate weapon and you could easily kill worms with it,

however it was also very rare in creates, making it a unique or uncommon weapon, perfectly justified in my opinion.

Especially the fact that Super weapons were already included in the game, like the Magic Bullet, The Concrete Donkey,

Mike's Carpet Bomb, Sheep Strike, all those weapons were way stronger then the homing airstrike. So i dont buy the

Homing Strike is too op When super weapons like this exist.

The point im making, when someone is trying to determin whats OP and whats not, you also need to take into account how

optainable is the weapon to a player is in the first place.

I also enjoyed the clone sheep weapon, that was cool... At least we still get the mad cows...

I also miss the exclusive worm death animation in worms 2, i wonder why was it replaced, i love to see my worm jump in the air

turning blue before exploding, that was always satisfying for me to watch...

I still play worms to this day, its soo fun...
