The steam forums seem to point to tonight for us from what people are saying but nothing official about a release time for the pre-orders and the 24 hour early access.

It has been confirmed by Team 17.

I think I speak for all of us here at Team17 when I say that we are giddy with excitement to see how this goes. The pre order take up has been great and we still have a couple of cool things up our sleeves.

We got Valve to clarify about when the game should be available.

"For timing, we'll start the 24 hour early access the day before we would normally go live. This means that around 9 or 10 AM PST, we'll make the game live for those that have preordered. It will happen around the globe"

The only concern I have is that with so many people waiting to play, the online game lobby won't know what's hit it, the most games I've seen on it so far is about 5!

One thing I want to ask the community, is once the game launches, what sticky threads do you think we should create.

5pm GMT.

Steam 4 pack splits have to be done in the wanted section of the MM now. Just thought I would let you know as it will lead to a suspension if not adhered to.

Good rule, this thread got swamped with just people arranging 4 packs and not talking about the game a while ago.

SkeeterUK · 24 Aug 2010 at 19:53

Hope a moderator can move all them 4 packs chat posts to a separate topic and maybe lock it after with a note from them saying "please use mm to arrange ..."

I love the worms games but don't think i'm willing to spend £16 on it.

maybe he needs to adjust the wording because atm the rule says not to START any threads about steam pack splitting, although he does say no buying/selling outside the MM

Ill be picking this up next month depending what people say here but its worms so itll probably be epic.

marc512 · 25 Aug 2010 at 09:25

I hope so. It is odd that I have not been looking forwards so much to playing a game since, well since whenever really.

We should have been allowed to pre-load it if there was to be early access, with my connection it'll probably be tomorrow before I can play it anyway.

Also, Holy Hand Grenades in TF2! (Wonder if they make the sound when tossed)

Me too and I can't really place why. I have WA still and play it on my laptop but I really want this.

Ocuk worms fest not quite a sausage fest but still fun.

Someone must setup a ocuk worms league on here, itll be awesome

_Jimlad_ · 25 Aug 2010 at 12:51

looking fwd to playing this

antijoke · 25 Aug 2010 at 13:02

I'm going to buy this tomorrow through Steam. Will be up for some mad epic games.

bigjimmyauk · 25 Aug 2010 at 13:14

Looking forward to this aswell thinking a gamepad would be best as using the ninja rope with WASD is a PITA.

No it's not.. shorten and lean is easy.. just like an FPS W and A or D

when the game is released anyone want to play online for a while and see what gametypes they are and how good the genital shaped maps are? ofc some idiot will make lots of them.
