JoeyN Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Today on a few online sites and message boards word is that Worms 3D will have live play. At the moment the plan is for 4 teams of up to 4 players. 16 player worms on live. I can not wait for this capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyN Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 One site says that it may be 4 box's with 4 players each. Thats still sweet ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 That's great news! I thought Live play was axed in the early going. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL2CROSSFIREMOD Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Worms is no doubt one of the funnest games ever! Im stoked!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 I believe Live play was cancelled for Europe and Australia, where the game was released first, but added for the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Count me in on this one. To this day I wish I had some buddies to play Worms World Party with. With Worms 3D having Live features it sort of satisfies that particular itch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyjaw Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 OK, so what's the deal with Worms. Never played it...is it a puzzle game? If so, you've got my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Worms is a game where you control wormlike creatures and fire stuff at the other team trying to destroy them in the process :-) capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Ed, Ever played Tank? Or Scorched Earth? Basically you're a character with weapons (In this case a Worm). You aim, judge for distance and wind, then let the weapons fly. You win when you've successfully killed the other Worm Army, or shot them all into the sea. It's SO simple, but funny as hell, and so damn fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 That's a rather simplistic explanation, and one that misses the charm of worms somewhat. Take Scorched Earth, change the characters to comedic, smart talking worms, give yourself a time limit to shoot, add in mupltiple worms on your team (usually around 4 or 5) randomly placed on the map with the ability to move by walking, jumping, teleporting, and using the infamous ninja rope. Finally mix in some of the craziest weapons you can think of such as grenades, cluster bombs, bazookas, dynamite, shotguns, exploding bananas, sheep, flying sheep, old grannys, the Holy Hand Grenade (with a 3 second fuse of course), and a massive concrete donkey that destroys everything in it's path. It's some of the best multiplayer gaming going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 This should be a great game for chatting. I can also see lot's of posts starting out with "remember last night's Worms game when,..." Should be fun, I'm looking forward to it!

Robot Monkey Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Has anyone here played the PC version? It's been released in Europe, right? -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyjaw Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 I'm still pretty lost :?, but it sounds like fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Looks like Live play is official now! http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/strategy/worm...ws_6087552.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyjaw Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 OK, I just watched a movie of the game and I'm totally down. Looks like a blast (pardon the pun). It also looks like it has some cool features like destructible environments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 It also looks like it has some cool features like destructible environments. Oh, it's got those. I used to love just digging a deep ass hole in front of a worm, knocking them into it and then watching them try to get out, or fire out of the hole. It's gonna be a good time. There was a PC demo released a few months ago. You may want to give it a try, just to see what it's like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 This is great news! My pals and I have been hooked on this game since it was released for the PSX. This should be good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 That reminds me, I downloaded that demo months ago, but never got around to installing it. Guess what I'll be doing tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 I hope you can assign accents to your worms like in the Dreamcast and PC games I had. I was partial to the Sean Connery-sounding one that not only had a Scottish accent, but also slurred all the s's. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 I always used the Angry Scots accent for the humor value. They're all quite humorous to listen to, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
