And yes it will be available on Steam!

Seconded.
Stick it!

Also, will there be a PC release? Preferably on Steam.

*Thread stuck*

As said there will be a PC release of Worms 2: Armageddon - likely to be via digital download only (Steam possibly). More to be confirmed later, and if you're really lucky I might even update this thread when it gets confirmed :p The game may even get its own subforum nearer to release.

That sounds good, even though we would like to hear a release date :) Summer is not optimal....

The game may even get its own subforum nearer to release.

So that means we are near the realase of the xbox 360 ver (?)
"Yay!" for that.

I'll wait to the PC ver coz i personally prefer playing worms on my computer...but i wanna try the game before buying it for PC, maybe i'll rent it for xbox 360.

So that means we are near the realase of the xbox 360 ver (?)

It just means that a subforum might be created when the game is near release. It doesn't say anything about the release date.

maybe i'll rent it for xbox 360.

You can't rent XBOX 360 Live Arcade games but there will be a free demo.

No it just meant that when we updated the forum listing the XBLA version had been "officially" announced but the PC version hadn't.

Let us pray that a Mac edition will come and save us all!

Wow, you popped out of nowhere, Kjatte! Don't do that, it's scary!

I sign my own little opinion

fu**ing ditch all the 2D/3d, the bad, horrible and unfunny soundbanks

bring back all that was from the original WA pc game, and make it bigger, better and more bad ass:o

the bad, horrible and unfunny soundbanks

Most of us like them so not gonna happen.

Or alternatively, accept what you have in this game.

And I bet you don't even know. Go look at the other threads in the forum and find out.

That's what Deadcode and CyberShadow do...

Also, will I be able to play W2:A in Windows?

Also, will I be able to play W2:A in Windows?
...what the heck is that supposed to mean? You know full well it'll be a WindowsOS compatible game!

Does that run on a PC?

Any new pictures? Information about game modes or anything like that?

T17 should make this game for PC. :mad::mad::mad:

Check Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Team17-Software-Ltd/64566768063?v=wall&viewas=693139697) for that sort of info.

Does that run on a PC?No, it runs on your window, duh.

Ah, like the glistening raindrop which remains from last night's downpour, trying desperately to escape the porous clutches of the window frame unaware that its final destination will be same. Slowed only by the aridity of the surrounding glass it leaves a shiny trail in its wake - a trail which drains it of the very essence it built up in its descent from the heavens. The impossible task made possible only by a further torrent of such hapless raindrops, all focussed on the same goal yet hindered by man's creations.

That sort of thing?

Not to mention surface tension, yes.

Yay! Modding Capabilities!

This pleases me greatly.

It may, however, necessitate the buying of two copies of the game. I hope the Mac and Windows versions are on the same disc.

I'm confused now. I was under the impression that it would be available trough digital distribution only, I also I was under the impression that it would be available trough Steam only. Steam doesn't really do Mac games, given Steam itself doesn't run on Macs... Either they will make it available trough other digital distribution system, or maybe they are planning a retail release after all... if it's the first one I doubt both versions would come in the same download, so it would most likely require you to buy both versions if you want to run it on both OS's. if it's the second, I think it's almost guaranteed they'll both come on the same disk.

I just hope that online play works between both versions, i.e. being able to play against windows users from the mac version...

Boo!
Don't break the running gag of this topic with your serious business!

In here we want that T17 release this game for PC too!
And hopefully the Amiga port they are promising for 10 years now!
!
!!

Wait, so we'll be able to use the XBLA disc in our PCs to play the game? Awesome! :cool:

What the **** are you talking about? Where do you get the information? Xbox disc in PC to play? Impossible -_-

But my Xbox and my PC both have DVD drives. And my Wii - will it work in that, too? How do I install W:A on my Wii?

I also love how when you purchase a title trough XBLA the disk comes out of the previously empty dvd drive. It's like magic.

Don't get me wrong, I want this game for PC too, I was just curious.

Also, is it coming out in vinyl?

Yeah there's a 7" demo and the full game is on 12". For slow motion replays you set the player to 33rpm and to fast forward through the replays you set it to 75.

You'll need a special record player, though, as they're dual-layer.

I heard that if you have record player that can record on vinyl, they can ship you a record with a blank groove so you can create your back-up copy.

Oh, that's for backups? I figured it was how you name your teams and such.

Great info, bonz. Keep up the good work!

Wow, you popped out of nowhere, Kjatte! Don't do that, it's scary!

Sorry! When i see something I'm interested in I post. It is just the way I am! ;)

Team17's genius knows no bounds :o

Bring PC version of the game to Steam please. Steam is my only digital store. :)

I hate steam....but i prefer Steam over the ****** anoying "games for windows live", so if they gonna sell it digital only..... lets say "Steam plz" xD.

Bring PC version of the game to Steam please. Steam is my only digital store. :)This has been confirmed, guess I'll add it to the first post too.

But is it coming out for PC?:mad:

I don't care about PC. I want to know if it will be released for Windows.

*Jumps in and spoils the fun*

Will it be released for Mac OSX, as that is technically a Personal Computer?

No, Mac OS X is an Operating System.

Oops, small typo. Brain still asleep

*Rephrases question*

Will it run on a Mac, since that is a Personal Computer?

... or is it?

Calling a Mac a computer is stretching it a bit. I prefer to call it a Brick, or a Box Of Useless Circuits.

There's a mac version as spadge says in the video description- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW09vWQQpuA&feature=channel_page

I hope the Mac Version will be out soon after XBLA!

*Drools*

Would be pretty awesome if the Mac release can fully utilise the mulit-touch trackpads. Guess you could use it to even move the worms around

Isn't putting steam in your computer a bad idea?

Is this some sort of joke like when someone asks you how you do the thought bubbles in WA and you tell them "by pressing Alt+F4"?

For that matter, will W2:A even come with an Alt button?

Isn't putting steam in your computer a bad idea?
They did say it'd run on PCs. That includes ones made before electricity, y'know!

Well I don't about you but I have an electricity-enabled PC and no 360 so I guess I won't be able to play this after all. :(

You know full well what happened last time Worms Armageddon was announced for the Mac.

But somebody told me worms are another name for viruses. I don't want more viruses on my computer!

Yes but the invention of this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransGaming_Technologies#Cider) makes it a whole lot easier now :p

Is Worms 2 Armageddon "Worm Armageddon Decade"? Is is that sth. else now? :D

Is Worms 2 Armageddon "Worm Armageddon Decade"? Is is that sth. else now? :D
W:A Decade was an older name for it.

Is Worms 2 Armageddon "Worm Armageddon Decade"? Is is that sth. else now? :DThey're the same. It was first annouced as "Worms Armageddon Decade" but it was renamed to "Worms 2: Armageddon" for the 360. "Worms Armageddon Decade" might still be the PC title though.

I'd actually quite like to see it renamed. I don't like its current name that much, so I'm worried my PC won't install it.

this game better be renamed. Worms 2: Armageddon will just be too confusing. I've already got to sort out a steam computer, personalize it, find a spot to install some windows without letting the steam out, AND find worms that can fit in it? that's a hell of a lot of work for one game, so I at least better get a unique game title.... :mad:

They only named it Worms 2 Armageddon since there was already a Worms on XBLA. I think they should have just scrapped the Armageddon name and shortened it to Worms Decade or a new title.

For PC, they will likely use the Worms Armageddon Decade name since they already own the domain and have a game with that name rated on a classification board.

If you ask me, they should go a step further and name it Worms 3 Armageddon. Because 3 is more than 2, so there's no reason why they should go with the lesser one.

Unless that little bit in the middle of the number 3 actually costs a lot more than you'd think.

Yeh, I hear pixel-renting prices are at a premium of late :-/

Well Worms 2 Armageddon is not that good, yeah! Why not Worms Armageddon 2? Much less irritating :D

Still I'm rdy for this game! Let's go :D

its worms 2: armageddon coz its the 2nd game for xbla.....i guess for PC ''worms armageddon 2'' or ''worms armageddon decade'' fits better.

Well Worms 2 Armageddon is not that good, yeah! Why not Worms Armageddon 2? Much less irritating :D


But has potential to make people think its the actual sequel to WA.

But has potential to make people think its the actual sequel to WA.which it is? its T17's attempt at returning to what was best about worms. and 99.9% of everyone agrees that W:A was the best worms game.

What he said. This is what you'd expect of a sequel - similar gameplay, with improved graphics and features. Nothing since WA has delivered this.

which it is?


From what i've heard, single player will be less than WA. Less weapons too. There's probably going to be more customization, but apart from that it doesn't sound like the sequel to WA.


And spadge/team 17 haven't said anywhere that its the sequel, so yeah.

From what i've heard, single player will be less than WA. Less weapons too. There's probably going to be more customization, but apart from that it doesn't sound like the sequel to WA.

Has there been any official word on the weapons? I heard off-hand that all WA's weapons are returning, and the additions of new ones. Which would be great, but I haven't heard anything supporting either side.

As a big WA fan, I wonder just how good the port of W2A will be to PC. Seeing it's Team17, I have high hopes! Waiting in anticipation for more details on stuff. It's also possible that since it'll be through Steam, there very well might be content updates given like the XBLA one. T17's been really great about patches and stuff for WA, so I can't imagine W2A not being a good spiritual successor to WA.

similar gameplay, with improved graphics and features. Nothing since WA has delivered this.
Except its sequel, WWP, of course.


Yes, there is such a game as Worms World Party!

Except its sequel, WWP, of course.


Yes, there is such a game as Worms World Party!Except with no new weapons, same graphics, and fewer updates released. Admittedly, it had WormPot, but still - I only ever saw it as a missed opportunity.

Except with no new weapons, same graphics, and fewer updates released. Admittedly, it had WormPot, but still - I only ever saw it as a missed opportunity.

In my opinion.....deadcode and cybershadow killed worms world party.....coz WA is better than WWP just coz nobody patched WWP.
And i think....if nobody patches the comming new version for PC.....maybe they will be killing it too with updates(with updates like soundbanks sharing and advance schemme format)
Dont misunderstand me, i love wht cybershadow and deadcode are doing with WA, but im the living example of wht im saying (i used to play WWP but coz of the new updates i go back to WA).

Hang on, you can't drum up one game being outmatched by a modified older game to be a bad thing! The sole way someone can be at a disadvantage from that is if they only have WWP or prefer it over WA, but still love playing online, and find the lack of people distressing!

I'm rdy now! Release the game plz!!!

Or atleast more information about game modes or map possibilities...

I'm rdy now! Release the game plz!!!
Yes. After meditating for seven days and nights under the pink blossom tree, we are ready. Ready to embrace the almighty. Ready to embrace... The W2:A!

A "PC" with a window and steam/condensation. Game please.

I've heard that pc ver may come out 2009 autumn?

lets wait wormers

I'm rdy now!.

But Team 17 aren't :p


I heard off-hand that all WA's weapons are returning, and the additions of new ones. Which would be great, but I haven't heard anything supporting either side.


You heard wrong- some of WA's weapons will return along with some new ones. There's going to be over 40 weapons in the game, too.



Thats not to say that W2A won't surpass WA. For me, the series is mostly about the customization and If they can add more customization to the game than there is in WA, I don't see why not.

A "PC" with a window and steam/condensation. Game please.

I'm sure I read somewhere of people betting on which rain drop would reach the bottom of the window first. That might make a cool, simple multiplayer game.

I did hear the flaming sheep strike will not be returning. :( Looking forward to it, regardless.

Wow, can't wait for this. Can you tell if roping will be possible in a similar form to the old W:A?

greets

Wow, can't wait for this. Can you tell if roping will be possible in a similar form to the old W:A?
Who needs roping?
IMO, the ridiculous and constantly increasing focus on rope based games has killed the fun in casual, public online games in WA in the past 5 or 6 years.
And the invention of schemes like WFW, Clockworm Orange and Hysteria couldn't really stop this development.

Games like CTF, AvsA or Boomrace have disappeared completely nowadays.

We need more oldschool Worms fun with hardcoded rules to support different game modes, which are not based on the same "who-hammers-the-space-button-faster-for-roping". :p

Also, we need lasers and the SOAR!

There's rope races included, and the physics are being altered to WA style, so all signs point to yes :)

::EDIT::

But yeh, constant reliance on ropes ruins the fun of a normal game, and rope-centric games are inherently tedious and painfully repetitive. IMHO, of course.

Wow, can't wait for this. Can you tell if roping will be possible in a similar form to the old W:A?

Its apparently coming out "later in the year"

I wish they'd bring out a PC version, though :(

I hope this Worms will have russian soundbank and will easy translate to russian.

I wish they'd bring out a PC version, though :(They are! :mad: It just won't be compatible with Windows.

They are! :mad: It just won't be compatible with Windows.

Huh? A game for windows not compatible with windows?

They are! :mad: It just won't be compatible with Windows.
Or Linux, unfortunately. Same goes for any other Open Source OS.

But hey, if you made yourself an OS, and are far too stingy to publicise the code, congrats on your new game!

They are! :mad: It just won't be compatible with Windows.

I don't know if all above^^ is sarcasm, lets get back on topic and discuss the PC version -).

I thought it was coming out on DC... is it coming out on PC, too?

Sweet! But what's this about it not running in Windows? Does that mean I need to buy a new PC to play it?

I don't know if all above^^ is sarcasm, lets get back on topic and discuss the PC version -).
I'm more interested in knowing why it's not coming out for pc.

It's coming out for Steam. Steam is a front-end for Windows operating systems, but you can run it in Linux and Mac systems as well.

Obviously there are many people who "need" roping... it's the natural evolution of multiplayer games that modifications of the core game establish, look at Quake, UT or whatever.
It's not the roper's fault that CTFs or BnAs almost vanished - it's the general evolution that those schemes are maybe not that exciting in the long run.. especially for competitive matches in leagues.
And the league games have always been a big part of the community, hell.. there was even a ranks system when the WN started.
Yeah, roping might not be attractive to the casual (offline) player who likes to play a quick round with his friends, but with the competitive aspect in mind roping definitely plays a big role.

Wow, this thread actually has a negative information content.

Ah, but what about a PC version?

What the hell are you guys talking about? There will be a pc version, yes! Hopefully later this summer....but not for windows? That can't be true ^^

Ah, but we're all talking about how we want a version for the Personal Computer. I mean, we all know about the Pocket Calculator version coming out mid-July!


I hear that the Holy Hand Grenade is supposed to divide by 0 in that game!

Agree completely friend, please do away with the ropes or tweak them some way, it really is no fun and takes out strategy and tactics from the game.

I don't think it is coming out on PC.
I don't know, there's a pretty big rumour going around that there will be.


Edit: Ah, never mind. Turns out that it was some random forumer starting that rumour. This "Spadge" fellow. Nasty chap.

Why Team 17 aren't releasing this game on pc!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

What the **** they said it would come out later this summer, later this year for pc! Why the agitation?

On PC?

I think it's only a rumour that it's coming on PC. I certainly don't know about it coming out for my Perfect Croissant.

It's coming out for Steam. Steam is a front-end for Windows operating systems, but you can run it in Linux and Mac systems as well.

This thread is the best.

Agree completely friend, please do away with the ropes or tweak them some way, it really is no fun and takes out strategy and tactics from the game.

No. You just suck at roping. Boomrace and other silly schemes have less depth, are equally centered over a particular skill of the game and don't motivate all around play.

But I bet you like those, and the only reason you do is because you have achieved to learn to play those more less skill demanding schemes. Open your mind.

I can accept arguments against roping, or WA being too centered on rope games, however, trying to argument your points using Boomrace, or Bungeerace as better alternatives (Bonz) is contradictory.

Rope is to WA what DotA is to Warcraft 3. It has enhanced the game's popularity and activity over the years and if anything it's only helping WA stay alive.

Rope haters, you just can't rope.

Oops, small typo. Brain still asleep

does that not mean PC/MAC, so the answer would be yes

Does that not mean PC/Mac?

What about PC?

To me that statement means both PC and MAC so good times for all (but not PS3 owners)

So it's coming out on PC, then?

What's this about PS3? Is it coming to PS3 before or after PC?

Idiots are funny.


Also, what the hell? Has this guy been sitting about doing nothing on the forum since 2003?

EDIT: Looking through his post history, he seems to go on the forum for a few days every other year :p

There is no word on a PS3 release yet but a worms game came out on the PS3 a few months ago it is like worms 1 on xbox live

I know, I have that game. It's called Worms. I bought it on the PlayStation Store.

Is W2:A the PS3 sequel or something? What are you talking about? Why can't they bring it to PC? :mad:

I give up just search the fourms for answers

Idiots are funny.

But why isn't this worms coming to PC?

Is W2:A the PS3 sequel or something?
Wouldn't the sequel to the PS3 be called "PS4"? I mean, why the sudden change of naming scheme all of a sudden?

So the new Worms game is called PS4? Okay but I can't find any information on the web about whether it's coming to PC.

Maybe I'm searching wrong. Is it called "Worms:PS4"? That's what I've been putting in Google and I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

edit: can sum1ne plz jst give me a yes or no ansr?

edit: can sum1ne plz jst give me a yes or no ansr?
Sure. "Yes or no".

Damn. Why can't they bring it to PC?

I don't think they have the rights from Sony to release W:PS4 on PC at the moment. :(

I play most of my games on my HTPC and like run them via Vista Media Center. Steam is ok but annoying when it comes to media center intergration. Will this game be sold via Direct2Drive?

Oh.. and just to play along will this be released on PC?

Rope is to WA what DotA is to Warcraft 3. It has enhanced the game's popularity and activity over the years and if anything it's only helping WA stay alive.
Very true. And I'm quite thankful that it did.
But nowadays it's almost exclusively about roping.
This goes even so far that people are creating flash-based roping fan games, basically completely ripping of the essentials of the franchise/genre: Worms, crude humor and wacky weapons.
Rope haters, you just can't rope.
Yes, I'm below average at roping, but I highly doubt that I would like rope based games more if I was better at them.
Flinging my worm through a monochrome labyrinth and drowning it in the end just isn't what I expect of a Worms game.

That said, I don't "hate" the rope, but strongly dislike rope-based schemes, in particular abstract ones like rope race and warmer, which just lack the basic essentials of a Worms game.

Yes, I'm below average at roping, but I highly doubt that I would like rope based games more if I was better at them.
Flinging my worm through a monochrome labyrinth and drowning it in the end just isn't what I expect of a Worms game.

That said, I don't "hate" the rope, but strongly dislike rope-based schemes, in particular abstract ones like rope race and warmer, which just lack the basic essentials of a Worms game.

You have to accept that most people who play online in multiplayer games have a sense for competition. That's the biggest reason for the majority of them, they want to compare their skill to the skill of others.

Schemes like Roperace or Roper require a very high level of skill to be mastered - and this is what many people fascinates.. the whacky, funny game Worms combined with a high grade of skill.

"Normal" schemes like 'Intermediate' serve the fun factor but lack in serving the skill and competition factor.
Also there still is the offline mode where you can play for fun and enjoy the funny graphics and gimmicks. =)

I'm sort of with bonz on this one. I appreciate why roping schemes exist but I've never been good enough with the rope to participate in such schemes, besides which they don't seem all that fun. Mind you, there are plenty of people who play other schemes which I don't find hugely fun. That's not to say they're bad schemes, they're just not my cup of tea. The fact that so many schemes exist is a huge merit to the game and that so much choice is available only strengthens the argument that Worms is the best game ever. ;)

I'm very much a BnG kind of guy. In fact I'd probably play anchored games which only have grenades, given half a chance.

I really wish the new game would come out on PC - is there any news on this yet?

Yes, it will come out for NES and amiga too.

I agree....i,personally, think that most of the ppl who still play WA (im not included) is coz of the rope games (almost all the games in wormnet are named "shoopa" ,"ttrr","rr","WXW","roper",etc)

Is there any chance that other worms games (Worms2, Worms Armageddon, Worms World Party, Worms3D and Worms Forts : Under Siege. ETC.) Will come to steam along with Worms 2 Armageddon? I would surely buy them all of they did!!!:p

Except for the great Godmax servers with lots of weapons, wild custom maps and fun :D No WXW....bull**** :D

Hey, I collect PC Worms Games. I have all the first time releases here in my battlecrate and the hugely important question is:

"Will W2:A for PC only come via Steam or will there be a boxed version of the game as well???"

I really wish the new game would come out on PC - is there any news on this yet?
That's the point actually!
The discussion about the rope is redundant if this game doesn't get released for PC.
Please, T17 release it for PC! Can someone confirm it for good?

And a bold request: In addition to the console release, how about a version for the IBM compatible PC with a modern Microsoft OS? :eek:

Team17 have confirmed a release for PC on their Facebook Page (again!), take a look:

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=64566768063&topic=9363

The question is, in which way it will be published. I want a special edition worm box with a little concrete donkey for my desk ;)

But why is it not coming out for PC? Such a waste of a great game. :(

been without internet for a week now and now I come back to find this.

great thread! :D

too bad about the lack of word of a PC version, though. would be nice to just get a straight answer from team17 for once.

been without internet for a week now and now I come back to find this.

Okay, so is the game coming out on PC?

Okay, so is the game coming out on PC?you know? it was never really clear.

That's a no, then. :mad:

What? It was clear! What the **** is going on! Of course there will be! They need money! They are addicted to pc gamers money!!!

They should bring it out on PC, then!

Its one of the best on here for a while!

Oh, since you constantly repeat questioning, whether or not W2:A is coming out for PC and since you pretty much ignore any evidence, that W2:A definitely will come out for PC, I get unsure and shaky here as well. I know, steady repetition and denial are famous methods for manipulating other peoples’ minds, but they are so effective, they even work, when the victim has seen through the humbug.



Can anybody tell me, if W2:A will be released for PC?!


It seems, nobody can answer a simple question, only fools in this world! Help me, I’m a nervous wreck by now!

I think the more important question here, is when can we expect a PC version of Worms 2: Armageddon to come out, if at all?

Please stay on topic.

Now, could you please tell me whether this game will be released for PC?

Yes, it will come out for NES and amiga too.

Finally! Hyperion Software have been working on the Amiga port for about ten frakkin' years. I was beginning to suspect it'd never come out.

Yeah. Except they haven't got a confirmed date yet. Or an estimate date.

Well considering they've devoted much of their time over the last few years to developing AmigaOS 4, I'm not surprised.

Please stay on topic.

Now, could you please tell me whether this game will be released for PC?

How was what he said NOT on topic vader...considering the TITLE of the thread, key word: "RELEASE" :rolleyes:

Anywho, yes it will be released for the PC, soon...not if, when.

More to the point, will it be released on PC?

So... that's a NO then?

Why not then? I want this game on PC!

You guys are hilarious.

Yes, it will come out for PC.

Yes, it will come out for PC.

I though the same......but now im confused now.......are u sure there will be a PC ver??

Yes! They said they would. I would guess for an either late summer or early autumn release though ><!

Lol, well done guys, you've succeeded in confusing everyone :p

I though the same......but now im confused now.......are u sure there will be a PC ver??
Just check the thread title :) That will remove all confusion.

Just check the thread title :) That will remove all confusion.

Well, I guess they're asking how to proof that the game will be released on PC.

Citation needed, even in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Worms_2:_Armageddon&oldid=300114424

EDIT: I've read some of the posts in Facebook, and Team17 only says that it'll be available on Steam.

That's all fine and dandy but I just want to know the answer to one question which everybody seems to be avoiding:

Will the game be available for PC?

EDIT: I've read some of the posts in Facebook, and Team17 only says that it'll be available on Steam.yes, we've discussed the ridiculous requirements of a steam-powered window already, what we SHOULD be discussing now is whether or not we'll see it for PC. I really don't want to have to manage that window myself. seems a right pain.

EDIT: I've read some of the posts in Facebook, and Team17 only says that it'll be available on Steam.

All joking aside, you do know that's a PC deployment platform, don't you?

What I'd really like to know is if I can play this on PC. :mad:

All joking aside, you do know that's a PC deployment platform, don't you?
Sorry, no. I knew it just now.

seems a right pain
Was that absolutely terrible pun intended?

What I'd really like to know is when this reccuring joke will stop.

So you think it's a joke that we want this game out on PC? CONSOLE FANBOYS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE. :mad::mad::mad:

What I'd really like to know is when this reccuring joke will stop.
oh look at this guy, all well and dandy because he doesn't give two ****s about whether w2:a will be released on the pc. well i've got news for you: some of us do care

Just check the thread title :) That will remove all confusion.

LOL, i was just jokin xD
But im still a bit confused about something....is the title of this topic real?, i mean....there will be a PC ver, right?

But im still a bit confused about something....is the title of this topic real?, i mean....there will be a PC ver, right?

Its coming on steam, not PC, you'll need to boil water to run it.

LOL, i was just jokin xD

that is what we are all wondering

Was that absolutely terrible pun intended?not originally, but it sure as hell is now.

Simples. When the game is released on PC :p Or possibly a few days after that.

Always assuming that the game is actually released on PC...

Simples. When the game is released on PC :p Or possibly a few days after that.
Or whenever Duke Nukem Forever comes out, whichever's sooner.

What the ****? Steam is for PC! Games over steam are for PC!! So Armageddon 2 will be for pc! Wheres the ****ing problem?

But when is it due to release? RELASE IT NOW!!!

According to Wikipedia:

Worms is a series of turn-based computer games developed by Team17 Software. Players control a small platoon of worms across a deformable landscape, battling other computer- or player-controlled teams. The games feature bright and humorous cartoon-style animation and a varied arsenal of bizarre weapons.

The game, whose concept was devised by Andy Davidson,[1] was described by the Amiga gaming press as a cross between Cannon Fodder and Lemmings.[2] It is part of a wider genre of turn-based combat games in which each player controls characters who duel with projectile weapons; similar games include Scorched Earth and Gorilla.

Worms 2: Armageddon is a turn-based strategy game developed by Team 17 and part of the Worms series.[1]

It is the sequel to the popular Worms on XBLA, released in 2007. It has several new features including; Fire, Concrete Donkey and Armageddon, as well as rope racing and forts. It also has an all new story mode with 30 missions.

It has been released July 1, 2009 for 800 Microsoft Points.[2]

The game shall be exclusive to Xbox 360 Live Arcade for a period and then will be released for PC and Mac.[citation needed]

So what I want to know is:

Will the Game be coming out for PC?

But when is it due to release? RELASE IT NOW!!!



Sure, we'd all like to have a buggy unfinished game wouldn't we? :rolleyes:

That also is still in Xbox 360 format :D

There is so much danger in the world, North Korea has nuclear weapons, Pakistan has nuclear weapons, USA, China, Russia, India, Israel, France, Great Britain, all these crazy people have a lot of nuclear weapons… and our earth gets polluted by all these crazy people, too (take this thread for example)… and we have a worldwide economical crisis, a depression - what about Team17, what about Valve and Steam, who can guarantee that W2:A will ever come out for PC!?

Honestly, I can’t do that!

What the ****? Steam is for PC! Games over steam are for PC!! So Armageddon 2 will be for pc! Wheres the ****ing problem?

How can there be a release date yet? We don't even know if it's coming out on PC!

Nobody has told us it is yet. Not one person.

What are you talking about sir? As a good, informed citizen, I believe the Vault-Tec selection process is standard in all vaults. After all, why shouldn't it? Sure, none of my male neighbors seems to have been admitted... but to be honest I've known them for a few years and they're not exactly very smart people. Surely they just failed their application test.

I must admit that I haven’t played Fallout 3 yet, but as a good man, here is my advice:

Don’t trust anybody, especially when they tell you, that W2:A will be released for PC!

Even if we had a PC release date, that still wouldn't answer the question of whether or not it's going to be released on PC!Lol.

Game is coming to PC on August 2nd! Platforms: Unknown.

What I really want to know is will there be a version for the Sega Mega Drive.

I get the feeling people aren't taking this thread seriously anymore. That's a real shame. I thought this was a helpful and friendly community, not one of those cliquey communities which only serves its few veteran members sufficiently and expects all others to slowly die quietly.

All I want to know - and I think it's a sensible question worthy of a sensible answer - is: will there be a PC release of Worms 2: Armageddon and if so will it be on PC?

Vader
Are you 10? Its getting boring now...

I know but I spend most of my days bored so this keeps me busy, at least.

FYI I am not 10. I'll be 27 in a fortnight. :eek:

I'll be sure to buy you a cane. ;)

Very funny, but it still doesn't answer my question.

The PC release is on the cane, duh.

Any idea on a release date?

Late summer, mid summer, inbetween?

Any idea on a release date?

Late summer, mid summer, inbetween?midsummer night's eve.

Is it on PC?

Hopefully there's a Windows version, at least.

Played it on xbox a couple of days ago. Horrible compared to W:A or WWP. Really, wouldn't pick my nose to receive/play this game again. PC users, STAY AWAY. I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH.

PC release of Worms 2: Armageddon has been cancelled.

Sorry

Oh right.




So is the Windows version cancelled too?

I shall not heed this.

Horrible?????


I feel like i'm gonna puke.


Some people just don't get the message do they...... its not supposed to be like WA or WWP at all, its meant to be the sequel to Worms XBLA, its more close to WOW 2 be honest.



Most people should be grateful they are getting a new 2D Worms for PC after all those years, and before saying "stay away" please make sure you actually know the differences of the PC version to the X360 version?

Apparently this game won't make it to PC - so i humbly retract my previous statement. Sorry to ruffle feathers :P

Though i don't know why they would call it Worms 2 : Armageddon if they wanted to market a new game that was completely different from Worms : Armageddon...Silly


Still will try hard to avoid playing this game again since i have WWP and W:A, which are vastly superior. As a stand-alone game, it's not bad - 6 or 7 out of 10.

Some people just don't get the message do they...... its not supposed to be like WA or WWP at all, its meant to be the sequel to Worms XBLA, its more close to WOW 2 be honest.


The message is clear, you just have to read the title of the game. Armageddon. 2. People rightfuly expected an improved version of 10 year old game Worms Armageddon.

Grateful for what? Team17 ain't in this for charity you know.

The game is coming to PC metacooler, don't listen to yakuza.

But is it coming out for PC? I don't think so.

Actually, no! It's Worms 2: Armageddon.

It's an improvement over Worms 2, no? :)

Actually, no! It's Worms 2: Armageddon.

It's an improvement over Worms 2, no? :)

Not really, Worms 2 has superior physics, more weapon/crate customization options, more weapons and many other things that W2:A doesn't have.

There won't be a PC release of W2:A but will there be a PC release of Worms Armageddon Decade?

There won't be a PC release of W2:A but will there be a PC release of Worms Armageddon Decade?
Honestly, who gives a damn about Worms Armageddon Decade, please don't go off topic. This thread is for the handsome people like me who want to know if W2:A will be released on PC and why not.

And also whether it'll be released on PC.
You forgot that.

And also whether it'll be released on PC.
You forgot that.
I didn't quite forget that, it's just I'm personally more interested in knowing if it's going to be released on PC.

If they name this Armageddon Decade if its not close to WA....


Well thats just terrible. Fans will go boom over this.

Over what? That Team17 won't say whether or not it'll be on PC?

Over what? That Team17 won't say whether or not it'll be on PC?obviously not. you're reading too much into this. let's go back to our steamed windows discussion like sensible people.

If they kept the Open Warfare name then there'd be no confusing it with Worms 2 or Armageddon but maybe with WOW. Is WOW coming to PC?

they said they are not spending too much resources for the PC ver (facebook).......so it will probably be the same as the XBLA ver.
It looks like T17 isnt exited about the PC relase at all.

I thought World of Warcraft was already on PC?

I thought World of Warcraft was already on PC? yeah but do we have any evidence that it's on PC at all? perhaps we could use that evidence to gather for our quest to find out about W2:A

Starting a guild, Aku?
QUEST FOR W2:A PC!

Starting a guild, Aku?
QUEST FOR W2:A PC!get it right. the spam would be "lvl [#] [class] LFG W2:A for PC PST!" :cool:

But will quests and guilds be available in World of Warcraft for PC?

I'd love to play World Of Wormcraft.

I'd love to play World Of Wormcraft.
Would be called "World Of Wormage" though.
