Martyn - Sorry, I got confused.

That said however, the notion of not releasing new weapons because of balancing with players who didn't have them is rather weak. You have one of two scenarios:

1. The weapons are paid content. Therefore, matchmaking has two modes - with and without add-ons. You already do that for maps. Halo handles this pretty well with downloadable maps and the playlist.

2. The weapons are free content. Put it in a title update. Everyone has the weapons, or they don't play on Live. Simple enough.

I've long been a supporter of Team17 and DMA Design. I was rather disappointed by Sony's lackluster support of the Lemmings PSP game. Otherwise, I have four different copies of the original Lemmings for PC, Worms Armageddon, Worms World Party, and Worms Open Warfare. I still play Worms Armageddon now and then. When I read about Worms coming to XBLA, I was ecstatic as it seemed to basically pave the way for a Worms game that would never get old.

I think the stoppage of support for Worms XBLA is very saddening for that reason.

Team17 have never said that there will be downloadable weapons. If you suggest we have, I'd like to see where that was stated.

Man this game is addictive. Too bad I suck at it. Hopefully I'll be picking these up soon.

Fix whats broken please, Major I know there is probably not much you personally can do. but dang it don't you think they should fix it before they release extra content? It's not rocket surgery. achievements do help push sales on the 360 platform which also imo make them part of the game. which in some respects they are selling a broken game.

So, is there a running list of all the games that have had promised patches/content that have yet to materialize?

Just thinking off the top of my head:

Assault Heroes - Promise to fix broken non-functional co-op from six months ago (stated by Xbox.com Support leaders in forums)

Worms - Downloadable weapons denied by Microsoft (officially stated by Team17)

Marble Blast Ultra - Downloadable maps denied by Microsoft (officially stated by GarageGames)

Alien Hominid HD - Stability patch supposedly in certification since the *last* premium content package was posted

Also it seems like there's a glitch where it won't recongize hats you've won or levels you've accessed until you start a game and exit out of it. More n' likely it could just be me having that problem but I don't know if anyone else has that issue.

OF COURSE they release more premium content before they release a patch to fix the many number of bugs.

I don't see why they keep releasing these things. I was bored to death of the PDA games after one level.

Why don't they fix the Mad Hatter Achievement Bug, instead of trying to make more money on this game ?

Personaly i think checkin if the achievements actually work on XBLA games is needed in the Microsoft certification process.

Also pretty weird, Mad Tracks achievement bugs got fixed within one week and all the other games with achievement bugs didn't get any fixes for several months.
