not sure about clan wars but theres always players hosting new games on this one. you should check gameplay videos to compare the two i suppose. also most people play non standard schemes on armageddon, like shopper mod and the such

[DragonH]

Schopper mode? What you mean? Idk i just think clan wars have more weapons =more fun....idk

im not sure about the weapons but the customization in worms armageddon is insane. like you can make a mod about sheep / rope racing. or if you want you can switch gravity or put a black hole and define how strong you want it to be. you can also modify weapons power so you can balance weapons out if you wish. list goes on and on

[DragonH]

so, you are saying that worms clan wars have nobody playing online tho?

[5M0k1N]

not sure how you got that from what i said :p
but nope, clan wars does have some users (about 120 playing it right now), but armageddon has more (250 on steam, and most people playing on it arent even on steam AFAIK)

[DragonH]

I always played the offline old mode of worms, with this worms my friend can be in America and me on Europe, and we battle vs each other? or its local multiplayer?

[5M0k1N]

both work

[DragonH]

So pro and cons.

ARMAGGEDON

PROS - More Players
CONS - Less Costumization


CLAN WARS

PROS - More Costumiztion
CONS - Less Players? xD

[5M0k1N]

no, the more customization is in armageddon lol.
i dont like the newer worms (i think theyre clunky and just boring) so i cant give you any pros on clan wars. maybe the graphic effects? i still preffer how armaggedon looks though

[DragonH]

what i meant on the costumization = hats, helmets, glasses etc, i dont think we got that on armaggedon tho?

[5M0k1N]

you can customize your grave, like you can even draw it yourself, same with the flag, your team song and even the voices of your worms. but that "customization" doesnt really bring much to the game. what i meant with customization is stuff you change and it makes the game work quite differently

[DragonH]

ahhhhh...but our team songs are in game chosable or we can upload personal files?

[5M0k1N]

both. but for voices and the songs (due to their size) other players wont hear them unless they too have them on their PC (like youd need to manually give the files to your buddies)

[DragonH]

ahhhhhhhh forget it then xD rather use the game ones tho

Yeah, in terms of cosmetics Worms Armageddon doesn't have much customization, but it's not really an issue.
