It is hands down "the best." However, it is not basic.

Ah--like I said, only played it a handful of times.

Why isn't the banana bomb an option? That was the most fun weapon in the entire game. Generally because there was no land left at the end and you could kill off half of the worms on the map in one bomb if the conditions were right. Ah memories.

Armageddon, dude!
My favorite basic weapon's the grenade. My favorite of all is the cluster bomb. I say this because the banana bomb is a wee bit too powerful, and the cluster requires more skill. :D

The "Granny" and the "Gas Canister."

I got a lot of work done with the trusty shotgun. There's something to be said about being able to move to where you need to be after firing the first round. So many second shells fired into walls. I was a very meticulous player, since I couldn't aim a grenade to save my damn life...

Meticulous, eh? I like being meticulous sometimes, but usually, I play the part of jackass and prod the enemy worms on my first turn. :p

That's the one. Thanks.
Someone else mentioned Armageddon, I never liked that one.

I used to love the grenade, but the bazooka was just so much more fun.

I've played a few varieties of Worms, but the version I had on my 486 machine back in '96 will always be my favorite...
I went with the bazooka... in the original game, that nice "thunk," and "woosh" sound of the bazooka was much more fun than the plinking around of the grenade on ice... although the dynamite stick was probably the most fun, if less practical. :)
I love the Shotgun...and I've always been a fan of Prod. :p
But my favorite item in that game isn't a weapon at all...it's the Ninja Rope.
If there was a spot I couldn't get to with that thing...I never found it. :)

I was an absolute sniper with the grenades, I could get them to do magic bullet theory impersonations. But I'm still going to have to go with the baseball bat. Knocking worms out of the park, skipping them across the water.... Good times.

Ah.. that's what ruined Worms: World Party, though.. everyone going nuts with the Ninja Rope and not playing the game... hrmph..
I loved that you could choose your language, though... it always killed me to hear the worm yell "προσοχή!" before firing the bazooka... :p (I'd always choose Greek).

Shotgun, all the way. There is something very satisfying about shooting a worm in the head, knocking it back a bit, next to a gas canister. Then, a carefully aimed shot at the gas canister finished off the fun. Bonus points for land mines and more gas canisters involved. *worm blinks* *-408* *worm dies*

Grenade. From the more advanced weapons I'd say Holy Hand Grenade. *Haaaalelulia! Boom!* :D

Ah, heck, I haven't played worms since.. well, it was at a school friend's house, so it must have been a bare minimum of seven or eight years ago, and probably a good deal more than that. Eesh, is worms that old? Am I? Well, anyway, baseball bats were nice. Shotgun, also. I liked the stuff that took a long time. Heh. Playing to win is no fun. 's why I'm a communist.

Any weapon that humiliated the other players. The memories I have when we played 4 people on a LAN.
But as a SOP I used the bazzoka since it was relaible and also had a blast area unlike the shotgun (number 2 on my list). Couldn't really get the hang of the grenade.

Prod. Always.
The baseball bat became pretty cool when they added the 'home run' sound effects.
Out of those listed: The shotgun. Really useful for taking down more than one weak worm.
Although I really do have a soft spot for the baseball bat. There's something supremely satisfying about whacking a worm right off the edge of the map.
Da sheep. One of the nobler animals of war.

I was always a fan of the kamikazee worm... especially when there was a long straight section of land with lots of mines and other peoples worms on it... (I tended to have rather Pyrrhic victories)

I always liked the baseball bat and the battleaxe. No idea why. The bungee was the most fun.
Bungeeeeeee!:D

The shotgun, It always bugged my brother, the first shot I would miss on purpose and with the second shot I'd shoot away the ground beneath his feet, thus dropping him in the water:p
But my all time favorite is the supersheep:D

The super weapons are of course the funniest. A shotgun isn't very imaginative. But a flying sheep? An old woman? A concrete donkey? That's great!

I concur. Holy hand grenade + low gravity = lots of wet worms

cluster bomb, damn right... just put it on long fuse, low bounce, lay it down gently on some poor enemy SOB/worm's head and run for it... mwuhahahahaha!! :D

Yup, nothing beats the expression on your friends' faces when you kill one of their worms with the feeble poke, it's so humiliating.

I thought it was quite OK, but not as good as the previous games.

Worms 2 was great - editing the damage stats, so you could have a minigun that fires 500 rounds, each one doing the damage of a Holy Hand Grenade. Ah, good times. That aside, grenades were the best, mainly because I became so good at using them. Ridiculously good. I was unbeaten in almost 100 deathmatches against my friends on Worms: Armageddon. [/bragging] Sorry. But I was good.
