Read Full Detailed Report - Worms 4: Mayhem

Worms 4: Mayhem is a 3D artillery game in the Worms series developed by Team17. It is much like its 3D predecessor Worms 3D, except that players can customize their worm's appearance (hats/helmets, glasses, facial hair, gloves/hands) as well as create their own unique weapons in an added feature called "The Weapon Factory." The game also contains a shop where users can buy various items, using points won by completing story missions, activities or unlocking trophies.

It's ok, I can now tell you myself. This game DOES support widescreen natively. My Dell 2005fpw arrived this morning with no problems at all! WOW, I'm blown away.

As for the game, it's great like its predecessors and you just select the widescreen resolution before you start the game.

this one is in 3D just like the previous one. A bit of a disappointment really, they only notable difference is that you can choose a hat for your team to wear.

Some folks have needed to do this:
Unfortunately no more native widescreen support like in Worms 3D.
But editing the "launcher.cfg" in the game directory works great. Don't forget to make the file "read only" after editing.
Have fun!

Works fine in WS with AlexBond launcher.

I had some issues with image flickering at 21:9 and couldn't get more than 1920 px on vertical axis
because of my ancient GPU.

Can someone test if it works at 2560x1080?
