Glad I didn't waste the time in firing up the 360 then. Lame ass 'Worms Day' and there wasn't even a patch yet.
[quote name='ZForce915']I was going to download this game today (no foolin')...should I wait until the 23rd or just download it now and then the patch? Does it matter?[/QUOTE]
It shouldn't matter.
As far as I heard, the only thing the patch fixes is A.I accuracy (they are currently set too high), A.I turn speed (usually 30 seconds for them to make a decision/do it) and online issues.

Good thing about turning the accuracy down a bit. It was highly annoying when the computer player would fire the bazooka backwards, into the wind, and have the shot curve back, travel all the way across the level (over several obstacles) and hit one of my worms right on the head. And it would do this consistently.

It's been worth the $10 for me. Right now, it doesn't have nearly the weapon list as Armageddon, but you've the ease of playing with a controller coupled with Xbox Live goodness, so it's easily worth the price. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of downloadables become available.

[quote name='hobbzinio on the 22nd']so the update will go live tommorow???[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Spadge']Yep, thats the plan
All systems go afaik.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='lightsup']The Title Update is NOW out!
Keep in mind that it works just like the 2007 Xbox 360 Spring Dashboard Update that went out earlier this month...
If you do NOT receive the update the moment you load the game, you should receive it sometime later today. So please be patient.[/QUOTE]
Looks like it's in the wild right now.

[quote name='Sporadic']The difficulty was lowered but the AI still does crazy shots like shoot backwards into the wind and hit you from across the map.[/QUOTE]
Yeah. Nearly beat 13 my first try, then got annihilated the second one. AI actually missed a couple shots. We'll see how long it takes to beat 13.

Ah, so it wasn't just me. I must have tried that one about 10 times and came close once or twice. Considering I breeezed through everything up till that one, it seemed awfully difficult...
I'll get the patch tonight.
This is the only XBLA arcade game I've purchased (besdies the Unplugged compilation) and I definitely think it's worth the $10 (though I used points I got at half price).
I've sent out requests to a few people from this thread so maybe I can actually try this game online soon! It would be nice to get that 4 player online achievement - maybe we should set up a game some time?

Not impressed at the patch, minus the speed. AI only misses about 1 time in 10. I'll give it a few more days, then I'm done with it. As far as time played it was worth the points, but not the aggravation.
I gave it another shot tonight and 
yeah, I beat 13! It took me about 10 tries, and I'm not sure the game was changed much at all except for the faster AI (which *really* helps because you can get through the game much faster). I beat it through practice and some luck. On my winning one I had the AI make 2 mistakes (that's about it the whole game) and I got a couple of health boxes at the right time. I had 3 worms to 1 at the end, but I thought I was screwed because he was nailing me from across the field and I couldn't touch him. But I had one teleport left and enough health in that worm to take his next shot, then I nailed him.
Just so you know - the next level is MUCH easier. I beat that one on the second try, and level 15 seems easier too. I only tried it once but I made a few huge blunders and still almost won.
I picked up the gold damage achievement while I was playing too. Now I only need the 4-player online game, the Sheep kill one, and the Challenge Mode one of course.
Here's a good starting strategy though - use the jetpac and drop your dynamite on the two worms to your right (near the barrels). You can generally kill 1 of them and severly weaken the other, and that takes out the ones who can pick off your guys on that side of the field. Use the sheep on the 3 that are down low in the middle. Then just luck from there on out. For example, I ended up getting a second sheep in a crate - very nice indeed...

Yep, I beat 19 after a few tries and am stuck on 20 now (tried it a few times). That one's pretty tough - 3 teams against you, all at 100 health each. I actually came fairly close one time, which seems to make it easier than 13 was before the patch, anyway...
But I'm so close I'll have to finish now. Unfortunately there's no cluster of enemy worms in one place like in 13 (so you can't jetpac over there and drop dynamite on them).

Yep. 20 is a bitch. Not as bad as 13 though. Cheap AI (13) is far worse than a true challenge (20).
I probably spent 3 hours on 13 and two on 20.

Yeah, I beat 20 the other day. I'd say it was slightly easier than 13... Went online for the first time the other day too and snagged that very last achievement (and won the ranked game to boot).
Let's have some CAG matches once the downloadable content gets here!
I just picked up the PSP Worms game that was on sale at GS for $15. Is it pretty much just the same thing, or are there any differences? I might return it if it doesn't have anything different. I know there's a new one coming, but I'm not going to pick that up at full price so I wouldn't be able to get it any time soon.

Currently at 15, I'll hopefully finish all the challenges tonight. 13 was a bitch, I got really lucky, when I used a banana bomb at 2 guys and one of the chuncks got tossed up towards the guy in the top left and took him off as well. Man I don't know how much longer I would have been playing that one. I love that Ninja Rope though.

The Space one has a black hole in the backround that rotates pretty slowly, doesn't distract if thats what youre asking. The Hell and Jungle have minimal movement. All 3 are excellent BTW.
Got in on a few games with Sporadic last night, had a blast, we had a 3 way tie and for some reason I sucked really bad on the last match and blew it.
