On PSN it's $4.99 per pack. That would be 400 Microsoft Points. But perhaps it's going to be cheaper on Xbox Live.

My info is that they will be 320 points. Microsoft are releasing one a week from the 24th Aug. The first one is the Puzzle Pack.

@BillT17 Do you know whether each DLC will come with a new set of achievements? I hope Team17 can add every achievement from the PC version (http://steamcommunity.com/stats/WormsReloaded/achievements/) to the Xbox 360 version.
Katamari, good question! I also hope they include those achievement titles seems very interesting and exciting! :)

The Steam and PSN version come with 12 new achievements/trophies per DLC pack so we might get lots of new achievements as well. But I'm a little worried since Microsofts achievement policy is quite strict. Furthermore the GS limit for arcade games is 350 Gamerscore (like Magic The Gathering (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/magic-the-gathering-duels-of-the-planeswalkers/achievements/); Trials HD, Toy Soldiers, Raskulls have 300 GS). So there's only 100 GS left for these 4 DLC packs. That would be 1-3 GS per achievement. However Team17 could add some 0 Gamerscore achievements as well.
And there are also some Arcade Games that have much more Gamerscore: Hasbro Family Game Night (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/family-game-night/achievements/) has 1850 GS, Game Room (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/game-room/achievements/) has 1000 GS, Pinball FX 2 (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/pinball-fx-2/achievements/) has 1000 GS.
So let's hope for the best ;)

You already know the answer mark-o dont you remember ?
in the thread that YOU started asking about DLC Scoop ?
after I told you about the packs and BILLT17 replied telling you about the packs.
if you go back and read them you will see that all packs come with 12 achievments.

I think the product description was for Steam and the Steam achievements. Xbox Live Achievements haven't been confirmed yet.
Microsoft actually limit the number of achievements you can add. So afaik there are only 5 new achievements each in the first 2 packs.
Fellsil3nt
2 Aug 2011, 17:40
ouch.
thought you said there was 12 each lol.
what do you mean by only 5 in the first 2 packs. does that mean theres no Achievments for packs 3 and 4?

3 Aug 2011, 08:25
who's url ?
what are you talking about ?
For clarification sakes. All the PC DLC packs have 12 extra achievements each. The 360 ones only have 5 each on the first 2 packs, this is apparantly because Microsoft impose a limit on new achievements added to XBLA games through DLC in any given quarter, strange yes I know but that's how it is.
Fellsil3nt
3 Aug 2011, 12:44
yeah I got that after you said there was only five haha.
can you confirm if FORTS and TIME ATTACK have Xbox Achievements ?
Or is it really only packs 1 & 2 that will provide Gamerscore ??
Just the Puzzle and Retro packs will provide Gamerscore afaik.

especially for 360 points.
you can buy a full arcade game for 400.
Or 5 full indie games.
Billt17 Is there any chance that there will be a Bundle with all four packs for say... 1000 msp ?

Why are you linking me to PC achievements for Worms Reloaded?
Read the forum properly Mark-o Seriously. I never asked about whatever this link is supposed to be.
I only wanted to know if packs 3 and 4 had achievements.
and Billt17 Already replied to me today saying that they Do Not have them.
so yeah. I dunno whats going on in your head now.
Your the stupid one here you said in your post in this thread they already have description of the DLC packs in another thread not the achievement list im talking about your literally the stupid one here fells1lent lol.

Billt17 Is there any chance that there will be a Bundle with all four packs for say... 1000 msp ?
The packs are coming out over the course of a few weeks, so if we did bundle all 4 packs at some point it won't be when they first come out. Also because the content is out on PC and coming out on PSN we have to be careful with timing on deals for the 4 packs. I expect that if we do a bundle deal it will be around Christmas time.
Also I am really intrested to know what the big deal is with gamerscore, I have a PS3 myself so I don't know why gamerpoints are so important to some people, it doesn't actually get you anything does it? Don't jump down my throat, genuinely want to know. :)

I guess the problem is that most people here would rather want more achievements in exchange of this nonsensical gamerscore :(
Fellsil3nt
4 Aug 2011, 11:56
well for me its not really about the number of points...
its more about the number of achievements I have completed.
the Gamerscore is just like confirmation of all the achievements Ive gotten over all the games I have.
If that makes sense. haha.

4 Aug 2011, 12:19
Well Gamerscore and Achievements are quite important for many Xbox Live Gamers (including me) since achievement hunting is/can be rewarding and fun. I'm always trying to unlock every achievement in every game, so I'm a completionist. Some people buy games simply for the (easy) Gamerscore and many people buy DLCs only if they come with achievements.
Give this a read:

To put it simply.
1: People like achievements. A Gamerscore shows a person's progress in how many achievements they're getting. It's superficial, but most people do like seeing the number rise as they play more. The PS3 doesn't have it, but only because it has achievement categories instead, that count total achievements.
2: A Gamerscore is also a very nice way of being able to compare individual game progress between people.
You probably won't notice until you go from XBLA to Steam, where achievements seem really useless in comparison
And, of course, then you have the people that take it way too literally and try to have a high a gamerscore as possible by buying cheap games. Those people are in a clear minority though.

2: A Gamerscore is also a very nice way of being able to compare individual game progress between people.
I love to "compare games" with my friends and look at achievements for games we both have and helping them get the ones I have and they dont. giving their gamerscore a little boost.
and vice versa.
Its fun when you have a friend who's gamerscore is almost the same as yours, and then take the lead :P
If the Gamerscore is to show who's the biggest nerd, buying loads of cheap games in order to rank themselves up and spending weeks or months of their lifetime completing simple achievements, it's doing a very good job indeed. :)

The Retro Pack Achievements seem to be exclusive to the Xbox 360 and PSN version. Steam has different achievements for the Retro Pack. Furthermore it seems that the Retro Pack achievement tiles of the Xbox 360 version are the same as the Puzzle Pack achievement tiles on Steam. 2 of them are the same as the Puzzle Pack achievements on Xbox 360.

We can't fix it before the DLC now as any update to a game has to go through a submission procedure with Microsoft that needs booking in and seeing as how we haven't fixed the issue yet, we won't be able to hit that date which is obviously a huge dissapointment to us all. :(

I'm not a coder so I have no idea. The coders are looking at 2 things. 1st could it be that somewhere a flag has been set to region lock these games apart from in ranked either in the game or at MS and 2nd could we up the timeout limit that caused 3 and 4 player games to stop working in the first place seeing as how uping the timeout made them work again in same region games.

Give them a kick up the **** then.
This is taking way too long.
Fells1lent calm down dude who cares if the games working or not working for you stop cursing on the forums and insulting people.
Okay, can everyone ignore what Mark-O just said? Yes? Thank you, that is all.
But really, Fellsilent, you should probably cut back on the complaining a little. I know that complaining IS important in a situation like this, to let the Teamsters know that you still really want it fixed, but when you complain every second day it's useless AND severely annoying. Can't you limit it to, say, once a week or something?
BillT17
11 Aug 2011, 11:34
To be honest you have every right to complain but these things take time to sort out, we can't just push a fix right out there instantly as everything has to go through Microsoft approval. Every time you do an update it's like resubmitting the entire game again. We still don't know for sure what's going on with the current issue but like I've said before, I will keep everyone up to speed.
Well, I hope everything goes fine with the game BillT17. I'm really enjoying being able to play atlease the same region in player matches it's omost like should just leave it alone and broken game is a broken game but I don't wanna try to over fix things then same region games won't ever be possible again understand.

Thats interesting haha.
Long time since anyone has said anything here.
So was going to ask BillT17 well we for sure be seeing the cross regions fixed in the near future? I also wanted to ask well we also see a playlist put into the game for 2vs2 ranked system and leaderboards in the near future also for W2A? That again would be AMAZZZINGG!!!
(Sorry for posting about updates just wondering and didn't want to make a thread about it and getting thomasp mad.)
DLC is coming slowly but surely waiting! waiting! waiting!
Thanks DEVS and MODS on Team17 forums!

What exactly are you thanking them for ?
Making DLC ?
I dont see anything to apreciate from Team17.
Not recently anyway.
Im about ready to just delete w2a.
Its taking up space on my hard drive.
The length of time me and my friends have been waiting just to play a game of 2 v 2 forts again is god damn rediculous.

I thought 320c was a bit much in the first place.
You can buy full XBLA games for 400c on Game Marketplace.
But, I may stilll be tempted to buy a couple of these packs once I see the other what the other 3 packs are like.
I'll probably only buy the best 2.
I deffinetly wont be spending 1280c on W2A DLC
...And im not spending any until the game is fixed :D
bit disapointed whoever you play who aint got the pack only see's you as the default hats&voices!
and i was hoping to get the plain backgrounds in these packs but no looks like it will be just 1 more moving one with each pack.......whats the problem with giving us the plain backgrounds to choose from in multiplayer????

my friend is holding off on getting some points till he gets paid this week and hasnt got them yet..played with him last few days (ive only met one guy in ranked so far where the new background came up, the release seems to be hidden too in the add on section, if you didnt come on here dont think youd know about them, or does it alert you on the worms main menu?)

New campaign levels are good as always.
Not over impressed by the hats as they are all the same.
Graves are good.
I will be buying the Retro pack just to re-complete the achievements but if the one other pack doesn't have any good voice banks or hats i wont be bothering with it.

Something that would be really nice is to be able to have a 4 player game over Xbox live with match-making for other players.
Also, the option to add bots in an Xbox live game.
I can appreciate why this isn't the case for ranked games but, a social mode would be great where, this were possible.
yeah gotta agree the voices are pants, the last pack ones were 'ok' and the hats for both are also bad.......humour is good tho in this pack loved protecting the prime minister from the rioting nhs nurses! and did anyone spot the scouse scallies haha that was a pretty low dig from the other end of the m62
what happenned to those green quiffs i saw some pics of on the ps3? we want stuff like that and yeah better voices anyway its done now, can understand its themey on the stuff..hope the last 2 are the best 2

Forts pack looks awesome. Cant wait for those new forts,
Still holding off on buying packs until the game is fixed though.
the forts are great! ive always wanted to hide in a bowl of spag bol
yeah the forts now has a 1st and 2nd choice then super forts in customize menu..im guessing you get your second choice if the opponent dont have the pack.....not really good for advertising the pack and kinda puts you off using the new voices and hats if you know most people end up seeing your worms as the default 1z........i think they dropped bit of a clanger here, guess its usual with dlc but how come you can use battle pack stuff even if you dont have it then, i thought that was cool even tho i have it
cos you know if everybody see's you in your spaghetti fort they all gonna want it and buy one!
Is it just forts that those without the pack can't see, or is it hats and voices too? Because if it's just forts, it's likely due to making it balanced - forts has a physical effect on gameplay, and exclusive forts can give a player an unfair advantage.

Most of the new forts don't have as much strategical depths as the default ones... The only one I found personally useful was the jungle tree.
I agree this kinda has to suck, I don't think I'd have bought the DLCs for Worms Reloaded knowing the majority of the players ain't gonna to see my cool new "German" retro hat :p
*Edit* Ah well, I forgot the time attack pack. Coming with its own leaderboards it's definitely worth getting even if it didn't include cosmetical features :)

Probably because No one plays the game anymore.
You can wait A long time to get a game even if you Host one.
Not to mention the fact that hardly any new players are buying the game because in the info at the game market place it states that this game has NO MULTIPLAYER.
Sure playing single player is fun. the first 10 times. theres the challenges too, and the survival mode or whatever its called, but at the end of the day Worms is a multiplayer based game. and its f*cked.
wow only 309 people bought the time attack pack so far.......bad marketing not allowing people without it to see its stuff in games........and it wasnt even showing as new DLC in the main menu my friend said till he bought it, im guessing only people who got it is people who come on here, word of mouth or found it in the obscure add on dashboard section
