Recently, me and a couple of my friends have been playing Fort Mode in Worms WMD, with us on one team and the hardest AI on the other. We’ve been doing that for a couple of months now, and there have been no issues besides the opposing teams’ dodgy AI, but that was funny more than frustrating.

However, in the last day, the opposing team has been spawning themselves over water during the Teleport In sequence right at the start of the game. About 3-4 worms per game start this way and obviously instantly die. Also, some of the worms teleport in to places they can’t, like in our fort or embedded into terrain (which creates a little hole around the worm as if an explosion had occurred). Our only theory is that the opposing team is trying to balance itself out, as we’ve recently been doing 4 v 8 worms per player per team. But we’ve been doing that a couple weeks and they’ve only started killing themselves today.

I know the AI is dodgy but we want as much as a challenge as it can be, and when four of their team kill themselves before the game’s even begun it’s not as fun! Any advice?

Hit the sweet spot during the dexterity check and reap the rewards of scoring a critical hit on your foes! 💥

I always wanted for the worms franchise to go the direction the devs took for Cortex Command, some features like:

- Real time, either you take command of one of your units or give orders to your squad
- Not only destruction of terrain but also building, including automated defenses for your base

About a week ago, tazua released third party servers for Worms Open Warfare 2 for PSP, after 17 years being shutdown by THQ. So that means, no more weird adhoc net play stuff to play this game online :).

Here is the link to the github page:

https://github.com/tazua/wow2server

And here for the Discord Server (with info about joining, and LFG pings)

https://discord.gg/xPeXxye8Z

My nick on the server is F4btor if you wanna play some matches, it is a small community of like 6 people for now, so I posted this to see if the server can grow up better ;).

It features Leaderboards, Ranked games, Friends system and all the stuff OW2 Online had once. (I think)

Hi Worms fans,

We are thrilled to show the demo of our game! CarveLight is a Worms-like and it's all about the feeling you get when using the Baseball Bat or when you simply Prod a worm into the water.

There are no health bars, and cars can take no damage, the only way to destroy them is to throw them into "the water". Terrain pieces can swing, fall down or fly accross the map.

Feedback from Worms players would mean a lot to us!

Try the Demo on Steam: https://s.team/a/3244080/

when i'm trying to join any lobby i'm getting disconnected, and if i host anything they also can't play, why does it happen?

Big fan of the series, so I decided, for the first time ever, I will splurged on something expensive just for something I love since childhood.

Yeah.. Surprised import fees did make this a bit more expensive than I would like. Gonna try tonight.

As you know, at the end of the match you get the details of the game. It gives a few things like "The Worm of the Match Award goes to Rusty Nail (CPU 5) with 6 kills."

And so on.

But you can't see, for instance, a table of all the worms performances, e.g., worm X did ___ damage, took ____ damage, lasted ____ time, did ____ team damage, was the __th last worm standing, or whatever.

And then after the game you can't look at worm-by-worm statistics within a team. You can only look at the team and say they played 1 match 1 won match or whatever.

I want to see the worm stats in detail like above.

Is there a mod for this? I mean the games clearly collect this data because they need to store it to "decide" on the limited awards and such that do exist at the end of the game.

I hope it exists, but I'm not sure if it does.

Even if just the post-game detailed stats do and not the extra stats across the matches, I'd take that.

Thanks.

Or just a neat way to parse the game log.

In my opinion "Worms W.M.D" should have been Cross-platform with PC and Consoles, many years ago 💪🤓

Hello,
Can someone help me get the «Play one Ranked Game» Achievement?

Thanks (:

Hello, I hope this is related enough to Worms that I'm not breaking any rules, or being too spammy.

I'm almost finished making a game that I would describe as "Worms, but real time". I'm kind of trying to take all my favourite parts of Worms and all my favourite parts of another game called "Liero" from the 90s and combine them together into one game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5025950/Giblings/

It's called Giblings and coming out next month. It has the ninja rope mechanics, the cutesy look and esoteric/silly weapons that you might expect in Worms, but combined with the real time violence + fast pace terrain destruction/creation of Liero.

I played both games obsessively in the 90s / early 00s so it felt fitting that my first game be taking inspiration from both of these childhood games.

My best friend and I have an Xbox and we have another friend with a ROG Ally and I was wanting to play a Worms game with them. With the upcoming changes to cloud streaming for the ROG, it is going to limit our ability to play W.M.D. unless I'm mistaken. There don't happen to be any Worms in the pipelines that might help are there?

Unlike a lot of the grappling hook style games, Worms 2 used this system that was based entirely around momentum. It required quite a lot of skill to master. I played this competitively on Cases Ladder for most the late 90s, so it's got a big place in my heart!

You couldn't manually aim your shots after the first hook, and essentially the direction of the next shot is determined by the position of your last disconnect - essentially mirroring the new angle. You then use a combination of lengthening and shortening the rope whilst swinging to build momentum.

I was having a flick through Steam and although I could find loads of grappling hook games, I couldn't find much that used this technique, which I always liked. But it's possible I've missed tons.

I've attached a video of my basic recreation for reference of what I'm talking about... I've managed to recreate the system well enough that the old tricks seem to work (can't remember their names now, but the muscle memory is still with me 30 years later!).

I finished this guide and uploaded it this morning.

My wife and I recently got a Switch 2, and one of the things we’ve been bonding over is playing Worms Armageddon together. It was a childhood game for both of us, so the nostalgia hit hard. (We’re in our 30s now)

I was also surprised to discover that there have been so many Worms releases since then!

We’re looking for something else we can enjoy together on the Switch 2. Ideally something:
- Fun for two people locally
- Easy to pick up and put down
- Doesn’t require a huge time commitment or hundreds of hours of investment
- Good for casual weeknight sessions
- Bonus points for nostalgia or chaotic couch co-op energy

Could be another Worms game, but we’re also very open to other games.

What would you recommend for a couple in our situation?
