Worms 2 Armageddon PATCH!

[Trebor]

Great news for the many Digiex members who purchased Worms 2 Armageddon on XBLA!

"A title update has just gone live for Worms 2 Armageddon on Xbox Live Arcade. Fans can automatically download the patch for free by loading the game while connected to Live.

The update fixes a number of bugs from the original release -- including a particularly nasty one that would erase all save data -- as well as adding a ton of community-requested features and balance tweaks. You can check out the full details of today's patch over at developer Team17's official Facebook page.

The devs also revealed plans to release additional DLC for Worms 2 Armageddon in early 2010. Specifics weren't announced, but you can expect new levels, challenges, modes, and configuration options for custom teams sometime next year".

At last we might finally be able to give this game a go! Took them long enough though, wonder if our previous post spurred them on faster (we got a message from Team 17 themselves)

Thanks for posting that! I can finally finish the game now I got so close before it messed up and erased my save (3rd 360 game to do that to me!)

Also if you haven’t updated yet it might be worth watching this video to unlock 7 of the achievements real easy, it wouldn’t surprise me if this has been patched… but you never know!

Even the online sheep achievement was glitched, you could play one online ranked match then unlock the achievement offline... not that I’m complaining like

Too little too late, lost interest.

It takes that long just to patch their game? What did the developers finally get tired of their game saves getting deleted? I can see they are proud of their work.
