What you will like to be as downloadable content?
Yes there will be. If you see the trailer when it gets online on a option says
downloadable content.
well start to talk

I guess they should have some of the same things from WOW2 (Extra landscapes and Flags) and probably other things, looks like we will have to wait for a reply from Team17 or the release of the game itself :)

Yes, me too...
Folks, I don't own Worms 2: Armageddon yet... has there ever been released some downloadable content? I know theres an option in the main menu. If yes, what kinda stuff is it?
I wish they would let us download levels, new hats/masks/rucksacks, gravestones, flags (Although I hope you'll be able to draw your own flag as in OW2 and not just some pre-made flags as in Space Oddity) and so on.

You can download custom landscapes and flags :)

At the risk of sounding stupid, does that mean that we can download landscapes and flags that other players have created/uploaded? Or will you (Team17) release more maps and flags after the game's initial release?

You don't sound stupid at all, i wasn't exactly full of information :)
All content will be created by us (so it's safe for anyone of any age to see). The content should be ready and available for release (hopefully). Keep your eye on our Facebook page for more details on the downloadable content and the games release date.

Haha, times have changed quite a bit since us QA guys did that speechbank :) - we've now become designers and producers and we can't get away with things like that anymore
Kel
p.s. it's still my fave speechbank too

then,kel, you should make content for adults, kids and teen
and make every content in a category like 1 for kids other for adults and other for teens.:)

Thurbo

...? I don't really get in what way you imagine this to work. If there were contents split in three sections, how could three systems having different content facing online anymore? Plus it would annoy me when I couldn't download stuff just because I'm a teen and not an adult.
Why don't just accept this series are made in a familia way? :)
Everyone here wants to get this game as brutal and violent as possible (See the "sigworms" for example), but for me counts just the in-depht strategically gameplay and the "cartoon violence" which I'm really a fan of ;)
Sometimes I imagine games like Counterstrike in a cartoonish way with stupid weapons as in Worms and cartoon deaths. I think this'd be fun. And I'd be allowed to play it xD
However Worms is a good war parody IMO, and there's no way to show a war more harmless, good job ;) Sometimes I don't even know anymore this is a game about wars. I just forget it^^

or better make available user content to download but check if is appropiate for all ages
so (for example) it in the flag the word a** appears then delete it
it would be better, no?

Team 17 speechbank?! When was this?
Actually, Kel, quick question I wanted to ask you/Team17 in general, just out of curiosity. Is it harder to make a download-only game than it is a retail/CD game?

Thurbo

I dunno where this speech appeared first, I think it was Worms 2. (Well, Im not sure, maybe only when WA was released.)
Downloadable games give Team17 the opportunity to create games and sale them without a publisher, like the damn THQ which I hate already for turning the OW2 servers off and the fact they didnt allow Space Oddity to have online play :mad:

I didn't think of it like that, but that's a good point. I was thinking more in terms of content.
THQ turned off the Open Warfare 2 servers? No wonder I can't find anyone to play against on my DS. Bummer. :(

OMG You got me wrong!!!
Nope, only PSP servers are down. DS version fortunately works through WFC so its most likely they will never be down:)
Im still playing WOW2 DS a lot and made it to spot one in race and dm ranked, so you actually should find some people. if not, you could join the OW2 chat: http://xat.com/for_all_Worms_Players

1) T17 speechbank was about a decade ago.
2) Developing digitally is very similar to making boxed product, apart from we dont have any of the publisher headaches going on as to what we go and why.

Ah, so that's how the T17 career ladder looks like then.
QA -> designer/producer -> beer guzzler
:D
I wonder how I could get into QA. Alpha/beta tester maybe?
Boo! :mad:

You, Wormopedia, obviously have never used it, otherwise you would have comprehended the "FFS!" and ";)" part of my post.

1). Ah. Sorry, I'm still fairly new to Worms; a friend of mine showed me Worms on XBox Live and then I bought Space Oddity for my Wii.
2) So you don't need a publisher to make digital games? Then how come I sometimes see publishers listed for download-only games (i.e. Capcom published Dark Void Zero for DSiWare)?
Hope I'm not nagging you Kel; thanks for the answers! :)

Nah, Testers are below "non-employees".

Nah, Testers are below "non-employees".
but sometimes the company lets gamers play the beta to say about errors, glitches and bugs. and how is the game if is very cool or some piece of ****
like starcraft 2, remember?
PD: someone here is very cool. and it's not kel
PD2: can someone know my age??
:)
I'm still fairly new to Worms
like me!!!!:):):)

Will the DLC be free? i'm tired of paying for games and then having to pay for DLC a few months later.

WORMOPEDIA

i support you but i think some dlc will be free and the rest can or will cost like 100 or 200 wii points

Kel, when i was asking you
i was saying if me can create flags, landscapes,sound banks(with Wii speak), etc. locally, not if i can create landscapes
respond
PD: Kel, can i make something like a game that can be used in forums?
i will MP you tomorrow with the rules
ok?

No idea about Wii Speak, but creating landscpes, as Kel said, is possible. You aren't able to create own flags though (:() and recording own speech banks is highly unlikely.

I asked Kel about the price of any DLC that will be made available once the game comes out and I got this in reply:
Hey,
The DLC maps and flags will be free of charge.

Team17, once again you have proven your awesomeness.

Maybe on a DLC its available or like a stand-alone expansion.
Well, lets make a game now that this post is almost dead(just to maintain it alive:)).
You say a wish and someone else must ruin it and make another.
Well,may be its ridiculous, but i dont have anything else to do.
I wish that im the owner of Team17:) if u play ruin it

Yes, I've seen even more cool flags playing other people online I'd SO love to use! Finally give me an explanition on THIS, please:

Aw, man, that bites. Maybe you got a bad copy of the game? That's the only thing I can think of. Did you send an email to Team17 about it?

Just recieved this mail:
Hi,
Only the US has the downloadable content. The feature is not available
in the EU version.
THQ, you are GREAT.
At least I'm sure it was THQ's idea.
...DAMN sure.
These dudes are freaking punking us! First they turn down the OW2 servers, then they cancel the online play in Space Oddity at the outset and drop the OW1&2 and WSO websites and now THIS!
I'm SO fed up with all that! Guess I'll rather go back play Armageddon until Team17 finally gets rid of those muppets. However it's a shame my copy of W:A was published by them as well.
