View Full Version : Worms 2 Armageddon – A very buggy game

Since starting to play on Xbox Live I’ve found the game to be very buggy, no matter what game mode is selected e.g. rope racing, fort and so on the game always starts as standard death match game or what ever you want to call it

Also is there any way to host a public game apart from searching for a game, waiting for it not to find any game then host one? I’ve never actually found a game so I don’t know if it will give you the option to host once it finds a game.

I can also replicate the bug found by Andy Snook here: http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=38939 putting my save and profile on a memory card and playing on a friends console does erase the save.

Exactly the same happens here. Also, my Xbox has frozen twice since I've gone online.

X360 froze 3 times.

I love the game, but this has really dissapointed me.

Hmm, I think I'll wait for the bugs to be fixed before I get it. I really liked the demo though.

I've played 2 matches and 6 campaign levels and have had no issues.

Yes, what is the deal with this? I was looking forward to these modes and they do not appear accessible with the current implementation. Do you have to purchase these terrain options by using the wormbucks earned in campaign before they are available in matchmaking?

Oddly enough, it works for me.

froze once when I tried to load a landscape that I got at the ingame store. It didn't happen again.

But Its been impossible for me to get into any online game.

If your selecting player match go to ranked match- not much people are on player matches yet.

I don't know why, but Team17 ALWAYS end up having major bugs with the online parts of their games! They need more experienced online programmers, I think.

Well, except for W4M, probably because they had forum-goers beta-test the online demo ahead of release.

sometimes when I drop a nade, mine or something from a rope it detaches too so I fall with the weapon and can not retreat!

do sound effects sometimes stick for you guys IE a blowtorch noise just not stopping after you used it!

it froze my xbox 1 time too

I hope they these bugs are being noted so they can be patched

To quote from the game's discussion page:
"We apologise for the issue with private matches always defaulting to deathmatch, this will be fixed in a title update in the near future (we're still collecting feedback on this and other issues).

WORKAROUND:

If you wish to play forts/racing etc then use the options to create your own game style (options, weapons etc) and select this rather than the default forts/racing. It will work fine. Again, apologies, not quite sure how that made it through the test loop at the end..."

Perfect, I will try that :) Thanks!

Rope Race has to be the best multiplayer mode in the game!
