Sounds very nice, can't wait for it. Interested to see what the new weapons will be. Hopefully the flamethrower is in.

400 microsoft points for all this? Well, in this case, I would have bought it without doubts if I had an X-box! =P Well, surely they'll include all this for the PC version, so I'll wait.

It's out: http://www.team17.com/?page_id=622

Not sure if I should play it yet since since my W2A saved game/settings aren't on this 360.

What does worship do as effects?

Worship drops a small bronze sparkling donkey totem that takes 2 health from every enemy worm each turn and adds it to your own. Your opponent can blow it up or drop their own if they have one.

Marked for Death english help description has a spelling error.

I think you can only use Invisibility and Steal in online games. I couldn't chose them in local games even against the AI.

Only a donkey? And the buffalo? Ah...but knowing the effect of the donkey, I can find how the buffalo statue works.

So apparently there's 7 new landscapes? well why can't I find them offline then. If they are for online only that kind of sucks....

But i'm enjoying the Battle Pack so far, especially Body Count mode, although the new titles are pretty... plain. There could have at least be some pictures on them.

There are seven new landscape themes - a new one called Warzone, and six which were originally included in the first Worms XBLA.

You can use these themes in local or online multiplayer games. :)

Warzone looks like Tribal is some parts. But I heard about a new theme called Armageddon...

Ah, I thought the Battle Pack description meant 7 new maps, oh well.

When are they going to add maps from Open Warfare 2?

At the end of the trailer: "The battle was won, but the war isn't over." lol
Anyway, I like all that new personalisation stuff. I've got a question about "Team Appeareance" section though: What's "Particle Set" and "Choose Title"?

Shadowmoon

Particle Set- Its theme's the explosions, and you can choose darkside, lightside or default.

Choose Title- The DLC comes with unlockable titles you can show off online, just a pity that they are, in general, very generic (they could have put images on them)

If they're including these titles in PC, we can help them putting images. Of course, if it is possible to open with some program.

Thx for the answer. I don't have a 360 but I'm pretty interested in those new game styles, how do "Super Forts" and "Warzone" work?

I like it they created something based on a conflict between two sides in Worms. I just wish Grey- and Brightsiders would've gotten particle sets as well but meh. That's what default is for I assume.

Super Forts is a mode for people with the battle pack so they can play with the Battle Pack forts.

Warzone is just 30 deathmatches, where you use different weapons. Not very challenging, although Mission 24 was hard.

I mean the "New Warzone Game Style" they announce on their website.
And I got another question: Do Open Warfare maps feature original soundtrack?

Warzone's Game Options and Random Objects are set up like Pro, except rope swing limit is at 4. You get at least one of nearly every item in the game, including all the new weapons. In fact, here's a list of what items aren't in you inventory: banana bomb, super sheep, buffalo of lies, bridge kit, armageddon, holy hand grenade, jet pack, bunker buster, super bunker buster, and concrete donkey. Number of each is mostly like Pro, though you actually get less of a lot of things. Anything that isn't in Pro is timed, except for just Termites and Invisibility I think.

I'm not sure what the variation with crate drops is, since I just realized there's a bug where every existing game style is listed as having all crate drops set to off.

Local multiplayer refers to a multiplayer game played between people on the same console, i.e. in the same room. Or in other words, it's what multiplayer meant before online play existed, which for a lot of games means split-screen multiplayer.

Does the battlepack allow you to Worm Select like the PC Reloaded or Worms+ [Best Version] on DOS.
