There is no servers because everyone is playing singleplayer mode.But if you will make one, people will connect and play.

There's no much servers because people mostly play Counter Strike 2D.
And Carnage Contest isn't much famous.

Carnage Contest isn't extendible into many things like CS2D. And it even took CS2D a long time before it got notice and started to get an amount of players.
CC needs something special, that makes it what it is for it to grow. Just a worms remake (Not that remakes are bad) won't be good enough. I think first the weapons must be perfected (With damage) to make it a more tactical game instead of a baseball bat to-the-face round.

yeah. you can actually script weapons, objects and game modes in CC with total freedom which is not possible in CS2D. and you can even draw maps with paint. you can do much more than in CS2D.

problems are probably:
• not enough people know it / care about it
• hard start because there are sooo many weapons
• you have to find a game which is currently in lobby state and can't join a running game (because this doesn't work with such a game. stop asking me to change that!)
• you can't play this game with idiots because they will ruin it

my plans are actually to add a good and epic single player mission and a good tutorial which explains most of the weapons. afterwards I'll try to get more publicity for that game.

The main thing that prevents CC from being as extendible as CS2D is its being turn-based. It really inhibits its potential, but that's the game style and you've got to admit it.

Stuff which CS2D is popular for is, for instance, role play mods and other genre-changing modifications, while the same role play would not be possible in CC owing to its being turn-based.

@user Yates: that's simply wrong. you can do all of that and even better than in CS2D

@user EngiN33R: yeah that's true. that's the huge difference and many people dislike turn based stuff probably.

It's a turn based game, I bet you could make lots of minigames...when I have some time I might pick it's language up and make some neat stuff

Edit 1:
     Is it possible to disable turn based? So everyone can move at a time? That would be swick

This would be great and make it an even better game.

there already is a simple zombie defense thingy at least
http://www.unrealsoftware.de/files_show.php?file=8832 (but this one is single player)

unfortunately it's totally impossible to make it realtime like CS2D. the whole game and technique is based on turn based stuff. otherwise it would have a realtime mode already. but a round based game like worms was the plan and that's what it is.

Single player is not as fun, as you can see I've made some single player mods for cs2d, it cool to see how modded a game can be--but not fun

Edit 1:
     Oh that's too bad, missions are cool--love to see moar of those

Edit 2:
     so it's "hardcoded" into the game..

I was thinking of a lua command to disable turns and allow everyone to move

you can also make such mods online. the only real limitation is that everything is turn based. besides that you can do nearly everything you can imagine.

Missions online would be hard, since only 1 person can move at a time...

Missions offline wouldn't contribute to the success and wouldn't increase the number of online servers either.

@user DC: Not to make your life even harder but a CC-like 2D shooting game (Left to right movement) would be phat (So do das shiz!)

Look at Soldat, awesome game with loads of players.

I already got CS2D for the fast paced action. CC is for people who prefer to think. I don't want to create another 2D multiplayer shooter game, sorry.

though cc isn't server extensive is it possible to make a dedicated version? I want to host but not on my personal computer I'm sure if you do release a dedi lots will host and cc will have lots of servers :DDD
