Worms Reloaded

Fixed an issue that meant all players were kicked from a private lobby when the host kicked a player
The game should now once again return to the post game lobby after a Player or Private match
Fixed bug where if clients were viewing schemes or had the "Are you sure you want to leave the lobby" dialogue open when the match started, the game would return to the multiplayer screen instead of the lobby
Fixed a specific “Waiting for players…” hang where if the game was badly out of synch before the game had started it could hang indefinitely
Additional Ready Light fixes
Fixed an issue to prevent the lobby host being kicked due to another player leaving when returning to the lobby after a game
Fixed issues with Hell theme occasionally desynching right at the start of a game

Worms Reloaded

Fixed an issue which occurred when the host put their light bulb on and revoked the client ready state
Old lobbies should no longer show up when a player leaves a game in progress

Stopped the game crashing if the game starts with all players on the same team alliance
Adjusted the column sizes in the lobby list screen so Spanish and Italian text fits in better
Fixed issue where sometimes private games would be partially setup as ranked so start game option would not be available
We now kill the voice chat when leaving lobby, so this should fix looping voices
You can now select custom schemes for player match setup
Fixed lobby creation failed messages happening so frequently
We have also made a number of other smaller fixes that should make online play more stable.

Worms Reloaded

An adjustment has been made to the Jump key timing to make double jumping easier
Additional fixes have been implemented for frontend navigation with game pads.
The Game Style name in the “Show Player Games” screen is now localized
A fix has been added to ensure that Sentry Guns are always the correct team colour when placed in Online Multiplayer games
A fix has been implemented to ensure that the ordering of players in the lobby is now consistent between all players. This should fix issues whereby player avatars did not match up with the correct names and also alleviate some of the issues experienced with the “Ready?” light.
The ability to create a lobby has added to the Multiplayer Options menu. This will allow players to host their own lobbies without the need to search for available lobbies beforehand

Worms™ Reloaded Now Available for Pre-Purchase with Bonus Offer

Worms Reloaded - Valve

Worms™ Reloaded is now available for Pre-purchase, with bonuses including a 10% discount, 24 hours early access to the game, and exclusive in-game items to enhance your chosen team.

From humble beginnings, the original Worms™ titles took PC gaming to new levels of popularity and mass appeal. Selling in excess of 25 million copies over its 15 year lifespan, Worms™ has taken its wholly unique brand of addictive gameplay, hilarious humour and wild weaponry across almost every console possible, and on Thursday 26th August 2010 it will be returning to the format that made it most successful; the personal computer.

“Worms Reloaded has been a labour of love for the team given the legacy of 2D PC Worms™ titles such as Worms 2, Worms Armageddon etc. It has been almost 10 years since the last 2D game was released on personal computers”, said Martyn Brown, iconic figure in the world of Worms™ and Business Development Director at Team17. “In bringing Worms Reloaded to PC, we’ve reintroduced so much of what gamers loved about the good old days, and it’s fitting that it is also the first Worms game we’ve self-published since the early games. We are very much looking forward to supporting the game through the community on Steam as well as our own Facebook page.”

Indeed, while the most celebrated features of the series are present and correct, Worms™ Reloaded also sports a large amount of new additions to almost every facet of the gameplay experience. Over 60 single-player missions (including new Warzone Campaign and Bodycount Mode), a fully featured landscape creator, 45+ plus weapons spanning the entire Worms™ series and a huge currency based customization system - all wrapped up in HD quality visuals - means that Worms™ Reloaded will be a highly enjoyable experience, whether playing alone or with friends.

Worms Reloaded Brings 2D Back To The PC

Worms Reloaded

After a couple of failed attempts at making classic trajectory-based shooter Worms 3D on the PC, Team17 returns to its 2D PC roots with Worms Reloaded, due out August 26 on Steam.

Worms never needed a 3D version. It was perfect as it was, and Team17 acknowledges that fact with next month's release of Worms Reloaded, the first 2D PC game in the series in a decade. Reloaded plumbs the series' storied history for content, with more than 45 weapons, 60 single-player missions, a full-featured map creator, and a currency-based customization system. All this plus high-definition 2D graphics, which you can sample in the screens below.

"Worms Reloaded has been a labour of love for the team given the legacy of 2D PC Worms™ titles such as Worms 2, Worms Armageddon etc. It has been almost 10 years since the last 2D game was released on personal computers", said Martyn Brown, iconic figure in the world of Worms and Business Development Director at Team17.

We are very much looking forward to supporting the game through the community on Steam as well as our own Facebook page."

Worms Reloaded is now available for pre-purchase through Steam, with 24-hours of early access and exclusive in-game items for folks willing to preorder what could very well be the ultimate Worms experience.
