Worms Open Warfare 2: Interview
he original Worms: Open Warfare seemed like a modern recreation of the original Worms on the PC in 1994, Worms: Open Warfare 2 seems to build on that ‘original’ feel but introduces many new weapons, could we get a brief overview of these weapons and how they can affect the game?
The game contains all of the weapons and utilities found in the previous game, and has an additional eleven items. The additions are a mixture of returning classics, ideas borrowed from the 3D Worms games and some completely brand new ideas.
For the fans of the series this game sees the return of the much missed Holy Hand Grenade and we’ve also brought back the Super Sheep, Concrete Donkey, Parachute and Pneumatic Drill.
For this game, we’ve created a 2D version of the Sentry Gun (first introduced in Worms 4: Mayhem). Once placed on the landscape the gun basically keeps watch over the area around it. Should any enemy worms stray within that area it will open fire. It’s a little bit slow at tracking moving objects however, so skillful players (ropers, I’m looking at you) are able to avoid its fire.
We have five completely original weapons……
