You probably thought we were done for the day too, but we've barely started this blog post. The fine folks over at Team 17 are about to release Worms Reloaded  this week. Being massive fans of their work, all the way back to the original Alien Breed, we thought it'd be fun to do something with them. So, we approached them and politely asked if we could include an iconic element of their game in TF2. The conversation was going swimmingly until they said that the best item to use would be the Holy Hand Grenade. We shuffled our feet and nervously explained that some soon-to-be-fired idiot had removed all of TF2's grenades.

But luckily, we were saved by our own shoddy workmanship. While we removed grenades from the game during early development, we left two of them dangling on the front of the Soldier as a teasing reminder of what once was. So, to celebrate the release, we're going to give a nifty Soldier visual update to anyone who buys Worms Reloaded before Thursday, September 2nd, allowing him to sport two Holy Hand Grenades and a new Soldier helmet. Here's what it looks like in-game:

i spent so many hours as a kid playing playstation with my mates and neighbours... banana bombs and holy hand grenades =

on that merit alone i have pre-ordered worms; going to try and revive some childhood memories with my uni housemates!

the tf2 stuff is a bonus, i guess... but it'll be like the l4d2/alien swarm stuff: massively popular

Is TF2 just a big cash cow now?

This is a cool bonus. We all pre-ordered this a while back and this is a pretty cool extra. I love the holy hand grenades.

Looking forward to playing worms tomorrow when I get home.

Yeah, hence this funny part:

I wonder how many TF2  addict will think they're real weapons and buy Worms.
Best marketing campaign ever.

Ugh.
You're right.

I just saw an advertisement on Steam the other day, and just posted off of my mind this without checking again for accuracy.
