Worms 2: Armageddon gets a big ol' update photo

There's a problem with a lot of Xbox LIVE Arcade Games -- their online communities tend to die off before too long. Even the good ones can suffer from this, simply because there's so many competing XBLA games and people often will pick only a few multiplayer games, usually retail, and stick with them.

As noted on Team17's Facebook of all places, Worms 2: Armageddon received a major patch today. Hopefully there are people still actively playing it who will appreciate the work that's been done. Based on how specific some of the comments were to the list of fixes, I'd say their community is still kicking.

A ton of stuff is addressed in the update, many of it game-changing material. If you were ever going to do so, now would probably be ideal time to jump back into Worms 2 while everyone else is seeing what's up with patch.

Plus, the studio says DLC will be out next year. Someone must be playing this still, right?

I'm still getting through the single player, I haven't touched online multiplayer yet.

I had a lot of fun with the little I played of Worms 2 back when it came out. I got pretty far in the single player campaign, tried a couple of online matches, good times. I think that was right before 2 solid months of great XBLA releases, so it was soon forgotten. I'll definitely be going back to it at some point, and the fact that they're still supporting it like this is a good thing.

I play from time to time, and I never have to wait more than a min. or so to find an opponent...

Finishing that campaign is a BITCH, I gave up in the last 5 stages after countless failures

Maybe I'll return to this one day, but probably not. I feel like I got my money's worth out of it.

I'd care--and play--if this was also true for PS3.

Was just playing Worms:Armageddon for the GameBoy color at work today. Love me some worms with guns.
