Well, let me see if I can come up with some original ammo for Stranger:

Firds: Little birds that you shoot and guide in 1st person to hit your enemies. Think of guided missles. Once you hit your enemies, the birds stomach explodes, making a rather large explosion.

Flung-Dung Beetles: Basically like grenades, and easier to use than the boom bats. They bounce around things before exploding, too.

Buckers: Little beavers that you shoot at ladders, trees, and other structures to get the upper hand on enemies. Let's say an enemy is on one of those stake-outs on a tree. Chuck a Bucker at the tree to knock the tree down. Not very Oddworld-like, but still cool. Works on enemies how slegs work on Stranger.

Squirms: Worms that you toss out on a lure to get ammo from lakes. Also, most enemies love the stuff so they'll take a nibble as well. Pull em in to suck em up.

Upgraded Bolamites: Throw one of these at an enemy and it will wrap them up and pull them to you so you don't have to go out risking yourself. The best new feature is the ability to swing from tree limbs and to pull yourself up and camp out to snipe at enemies. Works on other "limb-like" objects like poles, beams, and etc.

ok now i would love co-op expecialy with that grub princess or somthing like that. and ammo ok, here are the ones i will make up:
smeeches: these little critters stick to your opponet and slowy decrease its health until it managers to either squash it or knock it off.
twreeps: these birds give a furocious tweet that makes your opponet unable to attack
life bug: these creatures can give life to others, getting you more moolah (if this sstyem still works), more men on your side and more fun.
seedlingz: they grow and block areas then grow thorns. you can climb up them before they grow thorns too.
oh and maybe some creatures that help you explire or get through areas like a rhino battering ram, some kind of fish/sea rex, some kind of bird that makes you fly and maybe a creature that can shield you from damage.
now, if only everything we said were possible!

Nices ideas (especially co-op :D) mudling.
Seems Oddworld:Stranger 2 is a long way of as the next Oddworld game seems to be "Fangus" for X-box and seems to be coming out next year...

Here's the link http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=11756

i know, but thanks aww. what happen if Fangus and stranger collide or cross paths, it probibly is more likely than abe and munch crossing paths in the next stranger game.

I'm thinking Fangus might have a realtionship with Stranger, but if not, I'll be somewhat dissapointed. It doesn't sound like they have any connection... totally different world and all... oh well. I trust OI, but I still wish there were more of Stranger.

After Fangus we can have a game where Stranger and Fangus get into a Steel Cage Match! It will be OWI's breakout into the fighting genere this time produced by EASports using their WWF engine!

Wow if that actually happened I think I would burn my xbox.

Well, I think that this should be the norm, or close to it, for the forthcoming Oddworld games and beyond. I remember hearing in an interview somewhere that they finally have the gameplay to go with the story, and they're very happy with the outcome. So just because Fangus and Stranger have similar gameplay mechanics, probably means little in this case. They're also doing this to make the game sell, mind you, since that's a popular genre nowadays.

I think they should leave Stranger as it is. It's a brilliant stand alone game. Especially with Sekto escaping, and hopefully making a brief appearance/being mentioned in later Quintologies. Like a cutscene with Mags mentioning the fall of Sekto Springs.

I agree, it is a sweet game alone, but with Secto escaping, bringing him up later without mention of Stranger would seem kind of... empty, I guess. If that happened, I'd feel disenchanted, because I really want to see Stranger's world rebuilt. I just hope they get back to Stranger later on.

Yeah, me too.
