XBLA: New Worms 2 Armageddon Trailers, Glorious Return Of Fire

Team 17 have released 3 new trailers for Worms 2: Armageddon, showcasing some of the returning weapons as well as some new features not featured in any other Worms title.

W2A will feature the return of fire! While it may seem uninteresting to those who haven't played a Worms title since the PC games, fire has been missing for many iterations. The reason behind this is, oddly, because it's very processor intensive and has been unable to be reproduced on PSP or DS in the way it used to work. Now finally it's back -- Molotov style.

Also on its return is the electromagnet, which was brought into the fray in Worms: Open Warfare 2. This allows a big magnet of either positive or negative polarity to be placed in the level which will either repel or attract mines and incoming rockets.

Lastly a new feature -- player reactions. Worms will now react emotionally to their current situation. If they have a mine sitting right next to them they'll scream in panic -- not much but it's surprising they didn't do it before.

You can watch the Fire trailer above, or you can continue reading for the Reactions and Airstrike trailers.
