Battlefield 1 mods when?

Are there instruction to setting up the mod tools for xcom 2? Basically I am playing this custom class, the Field Medic [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=643394337], and one of its main skills is broken. It can not revive soldiers. Before I go in myself, has anyone used this custom class before? Any fixes that I don't know about?

Because they are an advanced soldier class but available relatively early.

EU/EW had Psi, Bio and MEC as advanced soldier classes and all were satisfying to use.

How do people manage to sneak to the hack objective with just 2 shinobi? For me there's always a group hogging the laptop or some fucker just got stuck inside the room because there was only one way out and the patrol moved the other way.

>- Fixed bug preventing tactical DEs from occurring. This will cause a meaningful increase in difficulty.

What's a DE ? Is it MAGNIFICENT or not ?

>- Disorient effects will now cancel overwatch on units that are already disoriented.

Thanks Jake

>- Set max hacking loss from NCE to -4 so everybody has at least 1 hacking and can use their xPhone

Sweet

>>166829773

The group near the objective is always static, there's a way around them

Also, doing this without True Concealment is suicide, you just don't have enough MAGNIFICENT turn timers to go through when trying to actually stealth around all the garbage

>>166829935
But all that optimism won't unrape her.

>>166829978
Don't forget the Flamethrower fixes, SPARK buffs, Faceless supply stealing nerf, timer extension and patrol fixes. Honestly those were my main gripes with the mod right now.

Does enabling any mods disable achievements on steam?

>- Green alert enemies can now sometimes take green (defensive) reflex actions after scamper; removed Beaglerush maneuver

Explain

Is the Beaglerush maneuver the old pre-release "Put everyone on Overwatch and have the Ayys walk into you to have an ambush and an extra round" ?

Sucks that most fights are probably still going to get stuck in an Overwatch stand-off due to a combination of ogrewatch and large distances preventing flashbang suppresion

>>166830326
That's when if the ayys walked into you flanked they'd blast you straight up.

>>166830326
beaglerush I believe is putting all but one soldier on overwatch. the non-overwatch soldier runs and activates a pod. the pod activates, but doesn't have any actions to attack. the other solders overwatch fire, and then it's your turn again

this was patched in time for XCOM 2's release

Can you make name lists in xcom 2 like you could in enemy unknown?

>Is it advisable to use Red Fog for your first playthrough? I've always liked the extra advantage it gave your guys, so that a choice between wounding an enemy and confirming a kill isn't so black and white
I'd say so. My biggest problem with LW2 is the infuriating moment where you have an excellent shot on an enemy, nail it, and leave him with 1 hp due to Graze:Memed. He's ALMOST dead, but for all intents and purposes he's still a fresh troop in a perfect area to exploit your own position. I don't like it because it just amplifies t he advantage ADVENT already has, that of them having the ability to bring in fresh troops whenever and wherever, while you are stuck with the same guys you started the mission with.

Red Fog mitigates that danger a bit, I find, although if you play with it applying to your team as well, as you should, you'll have to keep in mind that taking your own wounds can end up being crippling to a troop and making him effectively worthless.

Personally, I like it because it adds realism.

>Does LW2 support Commander's Choice now? If not, does the mod in the workshop play nice with LW2 now?

A final thing:
I've only beaten XCOM2 vanilla on Veteran, and that was like a year ago

Should I start LW2 on Rookie or Veteran? What does it affect, anyway? Do you get aim or strategic layer cheats when you're on Rookie, or is ADVENT just less aggressive?

>>166841471

Seriously, though, we need more female robotic voices for sparks.

If you're thinking about voicepacks in general, I'd like to see an HL1 Security Guard/Barney voicepack.

If you're going to give it a try, give it two episodes. The first one drops it right in the middle of the story to get your attention, but it turns a lot of people off since it doesn't make sense without the context of the second episode.

It's after the second episode that it should be clear if this is really a thing you want to watch or not.

I got past the characters and found a fun show, but it's a personal taste thing.

That's... a joke, right? They wouldn't fucking do that, right? The entire balance of the game is dependent on you being able to ambush the ayys. If they can fight back DURING the start of your ambush, how are you ever going to survive a mission without multiple deaths? And how are you going to replace all the soldiers you lose because they completely fucking ruined recruitment of new rookies?

So does the E3245 weapon ports work with LW2 straight out of the box, or are there issues with it?

>>166851442
I use them along with the xskin system mod and it seems to work just fine.

>>166850553
They can only take offensive actions if you tried to Beaglerush Maneuver or if its a yellow-alert pod that patrols into you. Pods go on Yellow-Alert if they're not the pod that was activated when concealment was broken. The pod that you initially ambush like I said will only fire if you tried to Beaglerush.

I always build Geurilla Tactics School immediately, is this a bad idea in Long War 2?

>>166851671
I value AWC more, but GTS is fine.

>>166851789
Ill give that a try, do you have any tips for getting Engineers and Scientists? Every time I get a mission with one as a reward the infiltration window is just too small to be viable.

>>166851671
Its the very first thing you should do when you get back to the Avenger from Gatecrasher. Having a healthy amount of supplies is not nearly as important (nor will it really happen unless you really prioritize the WRONG things) in LW2. You have enough supplies to build it right then and there, officers benefit hugely from being trained early, and you want Rookies to be capable Squaddies ASAP.

>>166852114
Prioritize intel at your havens, and learn to take a smaller squad and move very fucking quickly on missions. Every unit less than five lowers your infil time, which means you have less shit to deal with on-mission.

You need to be more focused on getting to the objective and getting the fuck out rather than KILLING FUCKING EVERYTHING. Think "LW1 EXALT extraction mission", get me?

It's called "Yellow Alert" or something like that, and I doubt they're going to "fix" it.

Recon is king, as it was it vanilla. Know where the pods are, know which direction they're moving, and know how far away from them you are. Try to be far enough away from them that they don't go on alert when you ambush another pod.

It's tough, but it's manageable.

This still feels pretty bullshit and needlessly punishing unlike LW1 which stayed fair while being challenging. When you lose a half a squad because a pod you've never seen flanks you before you can secure a corner to work from that's pretty uncool.
challenging =/= punishing

>>166856818
no, i got a map twice as large as the normal one on Jailbreak: most of the soldiers ended with 1 turn left of evac and one was unable to reach it at all

>>166857151
I don't agree with yellow alert as it now makes the turn system assymetrical. You can't give one side time to adjust their cover, but then punish the other side for the same thing.
It also gets even worse now as reinforcements often drop behind you. You are already flanked, but now you might even get attacked when the pod activates.

>>166857151
>timers still in game
>recon still doesn't help if you get bad pod paths/multiple pod overlap

man, i can't play this game anymore. i really want to, i found some new mods to add and booted it up again after not playing it for a year. what i get is this:
every time i right click to move, or hit 1 to fire, or hit y to overwatch, the game freezes for about half a second.

needless to say, this renders the game completely unplayable. i've tried it with/without mods, on min settings, on max settings, i've tried fucking with the xcomengine.ini config, changing the nvidia settings for vsync to every setting imagineable. this bug is always present.

it wasn't there the first 120 hours i played the game, why the fuck is it there now? how do i get rid of this? do i need to perform some satanic ritual?

>>166857746
Have you deleted literally everything, including your mod folders and configs?

>>166857595
This exactly. I just lost 6 soldiers on a retaliation mission after a long and near-perfect defense using all of my abilities and countering all the bullshit patrols walking in from random directions and taking shots at me. None of that mattered when the game decided to drop three more reinforcement pods, one turn after another, on all sides of me which instantly shot at my now-exposed guys the moment they warped in.

>>166857052
There must be a light switch somewhere, keep looking

>>166857595
i also am not feeling yellow alert but at the very least they've said spawn+attack reinforce is not intentional

>>166857835

yeah the re-install is on a fresh computer, so when i booted it up the first time it there weren't any folders or configs to delete. after i edited the xcomengine.ini to no avail i deleted the entire folder to have it regenerate itself.

>>166858342
you're as lucky as beagle

but you aren't beagle so you can't rely on taking 15% shots unironically all the time

It seems like the hacker specialist is generally better overall.

>>166858476
>taking15% shots unironically

How do you ironically shoot someone in xcom

Does staring missions with low infiltration increase the chance of getting bigger maps?

>>166858415
Nope, I'm talking about good old hammer and anvil stuff that is pretty common place with how reinforcements seem to always drop where you were, vs. near the objective or where you are going.

Truly Magnificent. It's like a perma slingshot cyberdisc that can be anywhere at any time.

Combat specialist is indeed superior. Three medkits isn't a bad choice though.

>>166858501
medic is a core part of any squad in my experience on L/I since you're taking a ton more instances of chip damage from grazes and pod activation shots, commander help you if you're not running medics with red fog enabled
though I also have a couple purely mechanical/shred-focused gunners on standby for MECs/drones/'Pods/etc

On LW2 is it worth setting everyone in overwatch and triggering a group by hitting them all with flashbang? It sounds like it would work wonders but the 70% chance to do damage and kill may be better than the subsequent 15% shot I get if they crawl to cover

>>166859141
I actually do overwatch ambushed in LW2 again since cover is so hard to beat. I don't see anything wrong with what you are proposing.

j-jake?

Should i take Demolition or Suppression on my grenadier?

>Should i take Demolition or Suppression on my grenadier?
In vanilla they are both absolute trash. I don't think I can even recommend either. Suppression I guess since you can use it sometime maybe.

>>166857595
Use the mod that lets you scamper after you activate a pod.

>>166858192
>unwinnable
You just suck.

>>166860064
Suppression if you combine it with suppression+ so they actually hit something if the enemy decides to run it.

>>166860064
Demolition is at-will cover destruction every few turns. Suppression can lock a unit down and fuck their aim up.

Which one sounds better?

>>166860248
>Use the mod that lets you scamper after you activate a pod.
Wouldn't that mean they've already shot me? And besides, you might as well just remove the feature that point instead of adding more and more features that just counter each other.

>>166858192
>i want an unwinnable game because realism
>>166860334
>You just suck.
Unwinnable is a bad argument as the game is plenty winnable even with it on. However, it's still a poor mechanic imo. Activating a pod midway into your turn is bad. And now having a pod activate on your turn is bad. Basically, activating a pod is now always a punishment in the majority of cases, no matter how or when it happens. Have your guy crit out of cover from behind or to the side when it is impossible to replicate the same maneuver on the enemy is just bad gameplay that only punishes the player .

>little patch for long war
>suddenly getting under the avenger bug every mission

what a dev team. how much are they getting paid for this?

>>166860691
>when it is impossible to replicate the same maneuver on the enemy
I disagree, because you, as the human commander versus the computer AI, have plenty of maneuvers you can use against the enemy that they can't replicate. Recon being the primary example. Itchy Trigger Tentacle doesn't punish all players, just careless ones.

Hell, in nu-COM 1 ITT applied to EVERY pod, whether you had alerted them or not. LW2 gives you a way to manage it.

This is not true. If this was true, maybe it would be fine, but it is not.

>Hell, in nu-COM 1 ITT applied to EVERY pod
The game isn't balanced around this mechanic at all, hence why it was a tacked on option

> nu-COM 1

Commander. Went into a Swarming supply run with 3 grenadiers. Lost 2 of them. 1 to a rocket out of the FoW and another to snek fuckery

>>166862104
What are you supposed to research first? Communications? Or avoid it because it costs intel?

>>166862119
>Elaborate.
You are pushing towards an objective. You are doing so at a decent pace, because timers. A pod wanders in from the right and spots you. They then scamper to flanking positions. Two ADVENT fire. One grazes somebody and the other crits your guy and kills him. This can happen technically at any time. Technically the only counter would be having complete intelligence. However, on a timer mission that would not be possible, and on a non-timer mission I also argue it would only make the game more of a slog. Giving the enemy three actions on activation is an unfair mechanic, but more importantly, it is not a fun mechanic.

> nu
99% of the time this has an extremely negative connotation and shows a certain degree of disgust towards whatever it is attached to.

OK so the "find a lead" thing has been green in my objectives for about a month now, when the fuck is the mission supposed to proc?

Do a mission where one of the rewards is "Find a Lead"

Usually VIP rescue ones, shows the name of the person you're rescuing and then under that "Gain a Lead" or something.

At least the remaining three completed the objective. My only regret is my sniper with the hilariously stereotypical Canadian COH voicepack died.

I also use the other Modern Warfare set and the R6S stuff. For all your operator needs.

>sparks gain 5 ablative HP points

Oh fuck. I think I shouldn't have skipped on the mechanical man.

Any good reads on the logic behind picking camouflage patterns/colors? For maximum RP.

>>166866331

Colors to match the environment. Big, blotchy patterns for natural environments, smaller patterns for urban and artificial environs.
