Sure, there needs to be tiers of course, but these tears need to serve the games intended balance

Only reason LW is put up with is because it expands so much and is pretty much the only mod out there. The JL decided he wanted beagle's head on a pike and threw in a bunch of bullshit to specifically counter what he did. In xcom2 we aren't going to have one central mods like LW, but a lot of smaller ones to mix and match. That said, there will probably be a LW2 just because of name recognition.
>>
>>128844010
>I-I just want more classes to chose from, more weapon tiers to go through and a reasonably long campaign to sink in. Is that too much to ask?
Basically this. Long War started out as exactly what you said, but it's turned into this clusterfuck of design decisions that just get in the way of each other and your enjoyment of the game.

XCOM 2 needs to have a mod that just adds some weapons and equipment and fixes some inevitable Firaxis bugs present in the vanilla game.

I was so pissed when I heard XCOM 2 lacks any kind of air game, then after thinking about it for a while I'm actually really excited. I hated the air game in EW and it was even worse in LW.

To be honest, air to air fighting UFOs is retarded anyway. The only logical way to engage a craft infinitely superior to your own is with a complex heavy AA net to cover all altitudes and with redundent weapons systems like Patriots, Buks, Stingers, Tors, and big stationary AA installations. Putting a squadron of F-22s or whatever up against an extraterrestrial UFO is absurd.
>>
Do you think xcom 2 will be a great game worth buying at release or do you think it will be an ok-ish game worth buying on sale, with a later expansion, or with a mod that "fixes" it?
>>
>>128844374
The faceless speaks truth for a dirty alien that should be exterminated.
>>
I had a dream about a new XCOM2 enemy group. They were called The Awakened and looked like humans in more advanced Mayan/Aztec armor. They were all Psionic and didn't use guns. They either relied solely on their powers or used a melee weapon and in the case of the guy in heavy armor their bare hands.

Their powers were weird. The leader guy had a power that forced a unit to yellow move to wherever he wanted. The guy in big armor had this ability to cover his body in purple psychic power which gave him an extra move which he used to charge the team. During the charge he was immune to overwatch damage and would reflect any hits back at the person who fired them. There were two more front-line soldier guys I saw but I can't remember what they did. I think one of them was actually a robot.

Posting just because I thought someone might find the dream interesting.
>>
>>128844395
>o be honest, air to air fighting UFOs is retarded anyway

Here is one thing I never thought about before reading a book about preparing for alien invasion. We have a huge gap in where we can operate in the atmosphere. Aliens could easily occupy this huge area between the max altitude a plane could go and orbitals with all kinds of ufos. We wouldn't really stand much of a chance without technology to fill this massive gap.
>>
>>128844449
From what I've seen in steams it's shaping up really nicely, and the streamers/youtubers do in fact have an older build with bugs that have already been confirmed to be fixed.

?
>>
>>128844602
Exactly. This is why ground and naval based AA is far superior to A2A engagements. Not only are our terrestrial A2A missiles very lightweight and designed to essentially rupture a lightweight airplane fuselage/equipment, but we'd have a very limited supply of munition on each plane, and we'd surely lose multiple cutting-edge fighters per battle, which means we'd lose the strategic war in a matter of weeks, even with all nations fighting together.

If it's a large enough UFO your best bet is to nuke the fucker like in Independence Day and just suffer the collateral damage.

I still stand by the reasoning that the XCOM (and the Xenonauts) Aircraft overspecialization in atmospheric combat, home advantage and a load of luck won the day on the opening dogfights of the war.

Not to mention that, by XCOM 2 logic, the 'infinitely superior craft to your own' are begin shot down from the skies by the under-armed Resistance itself. Seriously, that sound really heroic but it's still a bigger stretch in the end.

Plus, the idea of making the Avenger into an advanced air carriers is too Awesome to ignore.

its firaxis, so i would err on the side of history, which is the side of the game feeling on launch terribly rushed out, unfinished and under-tested, and having to be heavily overhauled with many iterations post-release into something that feels like a complete game with logical working systems and decent balance.
the geoscape looks very polished but the combat looks terrible right now, i would pirate it first.
>>
>>128845404
I modded my ini so much. Especially that bullshit stun chance, I reverted it back to vanilla chances. I feel like pulse was only put in the game because they couldn't get away with putting plasma behind such a tedious grind and leaving you at gauss for half the game.

They probably just wanted to make ARC throwers usefull. Since in vanilla after capturing aliens you had literally no excuse to use them.

Unless you wanted to repair your shivs/MEC's with nerfed medkit.

But in LW they're atleast usefull for multi purposes i won't stress hard enough how many times having Engi with one saved my ass from Leviathan Drone.

>>Aliens could easily occupy this huge area between the max altitude a plane could go and orbitals with all kinds of ufos.

This is an escalation scenario: At the beginning the aliens were only deploying sectoids and small UFO because they where still trying to allocate resources to the Earth campaign and they had to risk said resources and ships into the atmosphere to get things done in the first place, thus the reason why engaging it with fighters is not nearly as bad as you may think. Not to mention that the Avalanche is still able to engage those slippery UFOs in low orbit.

>>128845090

Those UFOs move too fast around for enough stationary defenses to get deployed and hit too hard for naval ships to withstand those plasma shots. Having multiple, fast moving, hard hitting vectors to engage them goes a long way with the small and medium ones. This wins you enough time to get in their technology before the big UFOs appear.

most people dont play mods just to play mods. personally i stick almost entirely to the credentialed salaried AAA devs vision of a game and think most mods are an clueless incompetent joke. they take existing working and stable systems and undercut their entire foundation to create nothing but a big mess, generally in the name of 'more' and 'bigger' and 'cooler' and without an iota of understanding of what allows for interesting choices in a game.

what makes a mod crossover outside of, and expand beyond, a small niche audience is when it actually builds on and improves the original, and those are very rare. and long war is one of them. there is nothing the vanilla experience offers over long war. even the actual devs admitted their game is a tutorial for long war. they took long war as a blueprint for how to make a better sequel to xcom.

from memory excuse me if any of this is wrong
SQ. = Squadsight
CPL = Long Watch (Squadsight Overwatch) or Return Fire (Shoot Revolver at first enemy who attacks you each turn)
SGT = Deadeye (ACTIVE ABILITY: Trade a fraction of your aim for a large damage boost on a single shot) or Lightning Hands (ACTIVE ABILITY: Shoot your pistol for free once)
LT = Death from Above (Killing an enemy with your sniper rifle while higher than them only costs one action instead of both, allowing you to move or reload or hunker or shoot your pistol or do ANYTHING after that kill) or Quickdraw (Shooting your pistol as your first action no longer ends your turn)
CPT = Killzone (ACTIVE ABILITY: Giant aiming cone which you place over a section of the map, you now covering fire reaction shot against EVERY enemy in that cone who does anything as long as you can see them. Squadsight included even if you didnt' take Long Watch) or Faceoff (ACTIVE ABILITY: Shoot once at every single enemy you can see with your pistol. EVERY ONE. EVEN IF THERE'S TWENTY OF THEM)
MAJ = Steady Hands (+10 Aim and +10 Crit if you didn't move last turn) or Take Aim (+20 Aim to your next turn every time you Hunker Down)
COL = Serial (ACTIVE ABILITY: Every kill you make while active refunds your actions, allowing you to kill again and again. Does not require enemy to be exposed like ITZ did. Combo with Superior Autoloader and E-Mags to rek 18 aliens in one turn) or Fan Fire (ACTIVE ABILITY: Shoot an enemy three times with your pistol in one action)
>>

>>
>>128854696
>MAJ = Steady Hands (+10 Aim and +10 Crit if you didn't move last turn) or Take Aim (+20 Aim to your next turn every time you Hunker Down)

seems to me like Take Aim dominates Steady Hands since you can move-hunker and still get the bonus.

Pistols do have infinite ammo, yes. One shot from a sniper rifle will always be more powerful than one shot from a pistol of the same tech level, but with all those skills at your disposal, you're not necessarily limited to one shot, are you?

Against armored targets, there is AP ammo you could potentially get (because it is random) that ignores 5 (i.e. sectopod tier) armor points.

>>
>>128856012
Yeah and more importantly you can equip two ammo types and get both bonuses or so Beagle has said. AP + Acid Ammo on a Gunslinger and you will be ignoring armor and wrecking shit.

>>128856280
Sniper or PSI. A Gunslinger and Sniper Sharpshooter are both incredibly useful but in different ways. Two PSIs because they are incredibly useful and can do all sorts of shit. Plus with dominate it means two additional units each mission which can fight in place of the PSI while they support the team.
>>
>>128856259
Yes.

>>128856280
Right now, looks like at least two psi or two support. Will have to see how things look on release.

>>
>>128856506
Interesting, why support? Different builds? (i.e. combat hacker vs medic) Or do they just straight up amount to more shots per turn if built properly?
>>
>>128856506
>Lightning Hands and Quick Draw

that's 2 shots, not 3
>>
>>128856623
Different builds. Probably only take a medic support on big expected missions like blacksight or retaliation missions.

>>128856635
+1 from Faceoff
>>
>>128856547
Some point during his last XCOM2 stream or the one before that I think. Either when he showed the video of a Gunslinger in action or when he was talking about them while fighting aliens in a house and grenaded the corner of it.

The End and Ocelot,Quiet and Ocelot or Sniper Wolf and Ocelot?
>>
>>128854696
Steady Hands or Take Aim?

Steady Hands can be used much more often since it doesn't need you to be hunkered down, only not moving and grants +10 crit, but Take Aim offers +10 aim over it.

Personally, with PCS bonuses, scopes, and tracer rounds, I think the +10 crit and more frequent use makes Steady Hands much more useful.

Pure theroycrafting though.
>>
>>128857021
Only one of those snipers actually got to operate alongside Ocelot, for the other two he was only in command structure, or in a separate unit.
>>
>>128857038
Take Aim is objectively better. It's +20 to aim and allows you to move and makes Hunker Down even more useful. Steady Hands is damn near useless on a Gunslinger because it's a mobile class and +10 to crit chance doesn't do much on a Sniper when you can only see your target via Squadsight and critting is impossible.

It's a clear victory for Take Aim.

>>
>>128857492
I think they have cooldowns.
>>
>>128855091
It would dominate it even more if your Sharpshooter got Deep Cover from the AWC which auto-hunkers at the end of your turn so long as you didn't attack. Use two actions moving into position and then getting a free hunker down for a huge aim bonus next turn.
>>
>>128857492

I'd imagine all of them have cooldowns except serial
>>
>>128856141
XCOM EU/EW/LW AI was only unshackled so much. All units can see invisible soldiers.
In Vanilla, it wasn't as apparent because meme-skin wasn't a fragile ability.
In Long War, it was kind of blatant when melee units would surround a conceal scout.

Early on probably grenadiers because of limited terrain destruction and low aim statistics

Later with exosuits and better aim, probably Ranger or Specialists, depending on the missions

That sweet scout sniper combo or delicious hacking.
>>
>>128857584
Fan fire might not have one, rapid fire doesn't have one and both are Col level
>>
>>128857749
The only thing I would be iffy about is Decoy Octopus. He strikes me more as a concealment ranger. She wasn't exactly a combat member but I would actually put Naomi as the specialist.
>>
>>128855091
Also Steady Hands appears to suck because you have to spend 1 turn getting into position and then another full turn not moving before you get its bonus.

Sounds like it's tailor-made for archangel armor, which may or may not be available.
>>
>>128857639
does that ability say if it activates when you dont attack or is it only move? if the former would it be possible to combine with the ability to killzone which activates the hunker (since you didn't attack) for a +20 aim killzone?

It literally just says attack so who knows. Though I remember a streamer who had a Ranger with Deep Cover and Take Aim and I vaguely recall that it still triggered after they went into overwatch. But they didn't fire during the overwatch so it's hard to tell.

>>128857298
When did they make criting impossible for squadsight? Was it in vanilla or early Long War? Also, there's no Headshot so are crits flat out impossible?
>>
>>128860164

Enemy Within
>>
>>128855941
But machetes are only more powerful than bullets against organic enemies, which is true to life. Swords and slashing weapons deal so much more damage than a bullet passing through your abdomen. I mean shit, you can dismember people in real life with one well placed melee hit with a sharp weapon.

In XCOM 2 slashing damage is more powerful against unarmored organic enemies, and I see nothing wrong with this. Also works for gameplay because it's higher risk getting so close.
>>
>>128860164
Long War made it possible to crit with snipers and there is a crit build.
>>
>>128860164
EW nerfed squadsight from EU by deleting crit chance. That's what headshot was for. I'm unsure if XCOM 2 has an ability that allows for squadsight to crit, but I doubt it with how powerful you can make it without crits.

The sharpshooter seems to be more balanced with fire rate and damage, whereas in EW the sniper is (generally) a slow firing FUCKHUGE damage god from across the map. The Sharpshooter in XCOM 2 also gets an overwatch aim penalty when at extreme ranges.

Basically, think of XCOM EW snipers as long range independently operating operators with like a .50 Barrett anti-material rifle. XCOM 2 sharpshooters are more like a marksman you'd see attach to a combat unit equipped with a high power designated marksmen rifle. Makes sense, since XCOM 2 is more about making different classes work together better.

XCOM EW sniper operated on a corner of the map and wasn't really ever part of the team.

The problem is it's either a Sharpshooter OR a Gunslinger. Mixing and matching the skills is counterproductive, what's a Gunslinger going to do with Squadsight anyway? We're going to need a balancing pass like LW to split the classes

>>128870910

Of course a Sniper will be out of pistol range 90% of the time so Gunslinger skills will be useful the other 10% and vice versa. But the problem is that the 90% of the time you play are exactly the same for every Sniper/Gunslinger. In LW, your Sniper could either be a OHKO Crit machine or mobile, squadsight sniper etc

Take a look at the Sharpshooter tree>>128854696 The only real choice for both sub-classes is at MAJ or Colonel. Everything else only works with Sniper rifle or Pistols only.

It's the same for Grenadiers (Nade launcher or Minigun) and Ranger (Stealth/Scout or BLADEMASTA). Even Specialist (Heal Bot or Damage Bot) to some extent.

>>128871227
I got a rough draft out for the 8 classes but I'll need to play the game to finalise it.

Minigunner
Either Damage focus to destroy armored target/big shit or Suppress/Cover destroying to debuff entire pods

Grenadier
Grenade improvement or Exosuit specialist. It will be good if I can port back the Javelin from the first game

Sniper
Either Squadsight Overwatch or OHKO Crit assassin

Gunslinger (Volume of fire and high crit chance to compensate for lower damage)
Either a mobile OW specialist or mobile flanking specialist

Ranger
Mobility specialist, parkor type skills to scale buildings or anti-overwatch/Low profile scout

Blademaster
Either CQC anti-melee wall or Stealth Assassin

Hacker Specialist
Either a 100% focus on Hacking mini-game or using the drone to debuff enemies

Field medic
Either Field Medic that doesn't rely on consumables or Alchemist type character that amplifies consumable effect.

If you don't like what's being posted, hide the post and move on with your day. It's really not hard. Impotently crying for a mod to come along and ban everyone who posts something you don't like leads to a whole bunch of shitflinging which leads to idiots like you getting mad over literally nothing.
And nobody gives a shit about your bitch tears. All it does is tell people what annoys you, so they can specifically do it purely to continue annoying you.

I think he meant Russian troops speaking in Russian lines from Russian Copies of the game. I'm pretty sure I heard some french from the preview videos so I think it's the same deal as EW which is a togglable option

I hope for a balance mod that makes each perk an actual choice with a future build in mind, firaxis are bad at that. Long War almost did it but put some arbitrary limitations on some perk paths with silly perk choices (eg rocket on engineer@ MSGT).

I was hoping Long War would be in final 1.0 much quicker so I could do a rebalance mod for xcg but they took too long and now I don't give a fuck since it's so much effort to make all the changes plus load other mods to fix the shitty design decisions (like crit chances in the airgame). I also learned how to do the hex shit to make it possible to stack defense so ayys have 0% chance to hit, and the same for LR on the first shot if you stack defense armor with, camo suit so that defense stacking builds could work on a scout even late game.

Long War let me down because those devs don't even play they have no idea what's fun and super challenging without being masochistic or tedious (repair mechanic and capture is a good example). They did well because of their "vision" for the mod but they fell short because they aren't gamers. When they started balancing around Beagle tactics that's when I said fuck it and moved on to other games, hoping theyd hurry the fuck up with 1.0. I got burnt out after playing the game so much and finishing 2 campaign and I'm not surprised Beagle needed a huge break from it too.

XCOM2 has so much QOL improvements modding and playing will be fun. I wont have to wait for stupid texture hacks to load up so I can have some camo and decent looking armor colours.

It's already in 1.0 and feature complete. Most of the perk is like the Rocket on Engineer one is just filler because they couldn't mod in anymore perks so XCOM 2 shouldn't have this issue.

I posted the voice script from Long War in an old thread


https://mega.nz/#!MFl12ITC!ICzGNTlJKapuCK9JyJys15jSjxMAOVcfBgK4W8Cv6L0

The XCOM Script is rather long with some set minimums for some response types. I'd say it'd probably take a half day (4 Hrs) to do it all with someone.

It really would only take a decent microphone, audacity software, and just willingness to enunciate to make a decent mod putting you or someone you like in the game

No idea what you're on about

And you're right about LW
What that faggot JC thought Beagle was a good benchmark on how to balance the game, it all went to shit
Like it's just retarded, it's okay for LW to not be impossible every second, but it's like each time Beagle doesn't fail a mission he thinks he fucked up

The classes in Vanilla doesn't give you much choices, they are more or less 2 subclasses with only 1 build each squash together.

Refer to this post>>128871468. We need to split the classes so that a Gunslinger won't have a sniper rifle he uses 10% of the time and more ways to build around him instead of just shooting more often

I always thought classes in LW were bloated as hell, that there were too many for no good reason other than "it's about making EU bigger, let's do that"

EU/EW did need more classes, yea, but they kinda over done it

I question how complex builds need to be in a game like XCOM though, I mean it's not supposed to be an RPG

Yes you can look at XCOM 2 classes as 8 classes split up onto 4 tress, I'd agree with that

But I think there are choices and some interesting builds to be made there, for sure.

Yep same reason why early access often fails so hard 99% of the time. Devs think they can balance around gamers who are good at the game resulting in some game that has virtually nothing to discover anymore and becomes just about optimised playing style.

It got so bad in Long War that I was afraid of mentioning fun little exploits even in xcg only to have cucks run off and report them to JL.

When you remove hard to find exploits in a game you remove its soul because discovering those things is a huge part of the game. Obviously some needed nerfing but you need to keep some things so players at least feel that joy when you discover something that gives you a slight upperhand in a losing war.

Classes in LW was bloated because 4 outta of 8 classes were using Rfiles/SMG/Battlerifles

With XCOM2 you can have the following additional primary weapons with abit of modding

Blade primary + Skulljack
Nade Launcher and micro grenades
Drone Specialist
Revolver/Dualies

With a bit of model modifications:
LMG version of the Minigun
SMGs
Scout Rifles
Battle rifles

/gsg/ should unironically be renamed Grand Shitposting General. As it turns out they actually answer questions you have about the games and help you if you need it, they just shitpost in the meantime.

The nice thing, probably mirrors what Beagle has said in some of his videos, is that the level of class customization extends beyond the class skills. I think more importantly than that it also extends beyond what you have control over.

The base game with just the soldiers and their builds are perfectly capable of taking on the enemy, but the ability to customize weapons and to receive perk/abilities throughout the campaign at random intervals mean that you can take advantage of new strategic opportunities. These will obviously influence future builds during the same game.

Look at Hulkmacia, beyond bringing WW3 brother, he was an overwatch cracking machine between the stock add-on and his drone. And the amazing thing is I could easily see that occur for other classes when you get some sweet sweet loot.

Oh you suddenly have access to gas and napalm grenades, but your strategy has been to use melee rangers? Well guess you might focus less on cover destruction and will really want that hazmat armor

One voice at a time is probably fine. Bust out those mics an walkthrough the script. I don't think anyone follows exactly what the script says, but it's meant to convey the meaning to the player that "Aliens are over that way" or the like.

Thinking about it right now, the weird thing with XCOM 2 will be seeing how voices play out for the different mannerisms, like "Laid Back" or "By the Book". I don't know how many emotions someone would need
>>
>>128872416

Nice read, but i can't agree with all of them. I watched almost all xcom 2 videos this is my opinion:

Minigunner:
Heavy damage and debuffs against one single target. It's good for lategame against units who don't use cover. Have Shredder, Holotargeting and Salvo (from grenadier tree), than shoot Rupture first, than Chain Shot as second could oneshot almost any enemy. But you need for this build tons of aim... something many other classes need too.

Grenadier
It's all about remove cover and AoE. Need almost no aim at all, so other classes can use the rare equipment. Could suck in endgame, but early-mid very good. Work well together with the sharpshooter class.

Sniper
Crowd control and Clean-up class. 2 abilities are strong against groups and 2 abilities need to finishing a target off. With a Phantom-Ranger spotting enemies use Kill Zone to hit them on their turn, than use Serial on your turn to finish them off. Need autoloader and/or expanded magazines to be good.

Gunslinger
A strong and flexible Debuffer and Damage Dealer against multiple or single targets. But need special ammo to be awesome and armor and enemies with immunities can counter it.

Scout
Can have 2 builds: The Phantom build or with sword for more flexibility and defense. Anyway it's combat job is to Run & Gun and crit strong enemies with Rapid Fire away.

Blademaster
Only good for Clean-up weaken enemies. A ranger can also buff up his sword, except reaper, AND have still his shotgun build.

Hacker
Anti-robotic and overwatch class. Can alos be a medic with you choose more medkits than the battlescanner ability

Field Medic
Healer and overwatch class.

Psi Operator
Anti-bio and debuff, support class, the ultimate supporter. He a ,ot of different ablities, but almost all of them have some turns of cooldown, he is weak against robots and is the only class in game who can only do one ability in a turn.
>>

Bullets will always work.

>Salvo (from grenadier tree), than shoot Rupture first, than Chain Shot as second

But thats wrong though. Void Rift,Inspire and Null Lance all end your turn when used. Insanity, Soulfire, Stasis and probably a few others only use one action. You can use two of them in the same turn. You can also use and move and use Rift/Lance/Etc the only thing we don't know is if you can use a single action ability and then a two action ability. So far only the sniper has that as a limitation. So it's entirely possible a Psi could use Soulfire and then Rift or Insanity and then Null Lance. They are actually extremely powerful.

More voice packs will definitely come in future updates. Not only is it basically considered game content because people want their soldiers speaking their own language, but it increases the global appeal of the game for those in other countries.

>>
>>128877690
Generally you can only do one offensive action a turn. It's like Combat Protocol vs Medical Protocol for specialists. Sure you can use MP twice a turn if you have charges, but if you use CombP then your turn is going to end.

Generally but Psi has been specifically shown capable of doing two offensive actions in the same turn. They don't function like the other classes. In the Odd video and the Firaxis stream you see them using two abilities in one turn. It's just that the more powerful abilities end your turn so you can't double up on them.

So exactly how gamebreaking do you think these abilities will be
>Stasis Freeze an enemy for a turn
>Stasis Shield Freeze your soldier for a turn
>Sustain Auto-Stasis when dealt a fatal blow
>Fortress Immunity to Poison,Fire,Explosives,Acid
>Dominate Mind Control a Unit for an entire match
>>
>>128877529
That's probably true about quality.

It's just REALLY easy to find camwhores of almost every nationality. I once paid a Ukranian camwhore like $10 to just speak Russian and masturbate for like half an hour while freelancers on fiverr charge the same amount for speaking like 50 words.

So unless someone starts a pool to pay VAs, I think it's either camwhores or someone who has a foreign gf (lmao).

I rewatched the Firaxis livestream about the PSI class and confirm that Insanity and Fuse always end your turn.

the problem with all the LW voice actors and probably most voice packs for 2 is that they don't ACT. the vanilla voice acting for XCOM is great because it's so melodramatic and cheesy. it's jarring as hell to hear soldiers excitedly talking about going on Overwatch, then you get to your LW voice pack soldier and it sounds like a 12 year old boy mumbling "overwatchayeaye..."

You know it surprises me how much people spend on gaming laptops or buy into 21:9 monitors (not commonly supported).

I always go with 1080p, 16:9, freesync/gsync, intel i5 and the best GPU I can afford and it ends up being cheaper than console gaming plus I can pirate try before I buy/can afford stuff. I also lock frames to 60/75fps so my GPU never gets overworked.

I'm hoping i'll run XCOM2 on highest settings with no stutters.

As best I can tell, ADVENT *is* pretty much tied to the ayys by the waist. It's not merely a Vichy government of human collaborators; The ayys pretty much in every level of the hierarchy.

At least, that's the impression I'm getting, seeing as even the low-level ADVENT troopers seem to be heavily gene modded.

Low level advent are directly controlled by either an advent commander, an alien, or the towers. That is the whole point of why they have the chip implanted in their head.
>>
>>128889154
Not to my knowledge, honestly. As far as the novel was willing to reveal, the chips seem to function as reliable tracking units. They may -and probably do- have other functions for all we know, but there was no implication of mind control being one of them.

Exactly where these ADVENT troopers are recruited from -if that's even an applicable word- is ulso left unclear. ADVENT propaganda states they're volunteers, but apparently nobody can name a single friend or relative who joined the ADVENT forces... So where those troopers are supplied from is yet another mystery.
>>
>>128889524

In-game research tells us that the rank and file ADVENT troopers receive their orders psionically from their chips, orders that were basically copy and pasted from the commander's mind while they had him.

Well, that certainly changes things, then.

Part of XCOM 2's narrative is about showing the obedient masses the true and sinister nature of their ayyy overlords, and thus inspiring and motivating the masses to rise up in rebellion. If the ultimate victory of the game is kicking the aliens out of earth, then my impression is that it's not something XCOM will be able to attain by it's lonesome. Overthrowing ADVENT is certainly going to be a key part of the job, and if the loyalty of low-level ADVENT troopers is secured only through mind-fuckery, then the idea of eventually 'breaking them free' is quite plausible.

I know XCOM 2'a going to be much more plot heavy, I'm just concerned that we might be overthinking it in all this hype.

Haven't played XCOM since I finished my ironman classic run in Enemy Unknown back in 2013. Somehow did no countries lost back then and then had to finish the last mission with a SHIV, the volenteer, and four guys with no weapons or armor because I forgot to equip them before the fight and there was no going back to the loadout screen in ironman.

What's the best strategy for preserving all countries on Classic Ironman in Enemy Within? Should I bee-line for laser weapons or focus on capturing aliens and get plasma first? I had to restart a couple of times because I failed to shoot down a large scout with two interceptors and panic'd all of Africa out with that and another time because I missed a rocket shot and blew up my entire team on one mission (Somehow hit the truck everyone was taking cover by). Should I rush SHIVs? MECs? I'm already building three satellites a month after the first, so it's really just a matter of surviving the first three months.

Could you run EU/EW with relatively little difficulty? If yes, you probably will manage XCOM 2 as well.
It's the same engine at heart, with a little more shine thrown in. The minimum and recommended specs are fairly forgiving.

Any enemy in the ayy assault can be killed with Headshot/plasma launcher together. You're way past the worst part of XCOM when you reach the ayy base. The game has almost no nasty surprises at this point.

how come bradford is the only bro-tier character in XCOM?

shen is always having weird eastern philosophical crises like "may we become the monsters we wish to defeat, by adding robot limbs to people?" like no, shen, adding a robot gun to my soldier doesn't "make me" like the alien invaders, except loosely in the sense that they also use robot stuff. by that logic, using guns makes us like the ayys. fuck off with your Confucian ramblings old man and make me more satellites.

vahlen is clearly a power slut and would join the ayys in a heartbeat. she's all about the science and is even like "take them alive" "dont blow them up" "oh look how SCIENTIFICALLY ADVANCED THEY ARE".

bradford is basically always right and always had your interests at heart.

Sure it did. The generator pumped them out just fine. It just didn't have a named one, but it only had three named character anyway. You're paranoid.

>And if you require a logical reason as to why the lead scientist shouldn't be black - just familiarize yourself with the average IQ scores of blacks, or the achievements of "black" scientists

Even if there was any merit to the argument of you not knowing any black scientist other than Tyson or naively misinterpreting statistics you can't even name, there's still the fact that this is a game set in the fucking future.

Or in other words, get your ass back to /pol/ or /int/ or wherever you've crawled out from.

Perhaps you should stop hiding behind the fact that you want realism when in reality you're just pushing an agenda. Xcom is in essence a story about how humanity prevails, where we can have anyone from anywhere regardless of background fight to bring aliens down together.
If you want to have your scenario consist of white only troops taking them on then go ahead and change that.

I think that's exactly how it works, you need multiple leaders. It's like the main "quest" in the normal game, the next research only becomes unlockable after researching the previous topic, except it's the same alien multiple times in this case.

I don't really like making the player reliably capture multiple high-ranking aliens all game long, the combat is too chaotic for that.

I feel like people don't really understand the characters of xcom1. Both Shen and Vahlen are disturbed by the inhumanity/mercilessness of the aliens and independently comment on this.

Shen makes the comment on floaters because they are completely mindless and completely devoid of any personality besides rage. MEC troopers are designed not just for combat, but also so that they can continue living as normal lives as possible. They still are themselves, and instead of being made completely inhuman for combat duties, they still appear normal with clothing and some gloves.

Vahlen has specific lines in which she praises you for perfect missions with no mention of recovering aliens, tech, or meld. In fact, her perfect mission lines trigger for the exact same circumstances as both Bradford and Shen. The gene modding is even less of a big deal then mecs when clearly you could have done way more with it.

All three support characters are 100% for humanity and removing ayy. VIGILO CONFIDO

I mean, you'll break the balance of the mod. I had nothing but alloy weapons until I randomly unlocked plasma weapons 10 months in from spamming alien leader research because I only got a few engineers. Adapt and overcome. Or don't, it is your choice.

Alien captures are difficult, but good armor, medi gas or dart guns make it alot easier. I captured every ayy the hard way with stun rods, didn't stop me.

So the Zudjari communicate through a neural network/hivemind broadcast called Mosaic. Each one of them is implanted with that device I posted yesterday that resembles the skeleton key. It allows them to have their thoughts be injected into them by their leader, Origin.

Upon removal, the subject becomes noticeably less militant. He states that nothing he saw is as Origin told him. Further questioning revealed that Earth isn't the first world they attacked. Their own homeworld has been stripped of all resources, so they must travel to other worlds and conquer those. Conquered worlds are terraformed, and any races that bother to submit will be enslaved.

The infiltrator is disillusioned at the atrocities he had committed while under Origin's control.

Shen does have a point. Hell it's a pretty common philosophical thought and criticism that comes up around transhumanism. How far is too far? What point do you stop being human?

Which is just a slice of the pie of the true final bill for the war. Not only the alteration of your soldiers, but what you command them to do and what you tell them not to do. Where you choose to deploy or not to deploy.How many civies have you allowed to die or even killed yourself in order to gain some advantage? How many die because you can't be everywhere at once or just choose to ignore contacts in favor of other options? Hell even what you do to the Ayys, with XCOM's brutal brand of science being what it is.

It didnt work.

And its not about captrures being difficult, its that they are annoying. You have so many cool things to slaugther the ayys with, but WAIT! maybe its a useful one and i cant tell becase they all look prettymuch the same (sans the floaters and snakes) so lets dance around it for the 9001th fucking time.That, and the fact that i missed SO MUCH oppurtunity to cap more of them fuckers when it was easy because i didnt know that it worked this way is just making me pissed as hell.

So Angela Weaver berates poor Carter for going too easy on the infiltrator. Suggested cutting off his head though the boys in the lab would've done the same after the interrogation.

Director Faulke has assigned Carter a mission to New Mexico, where a team led by DaSilva (another squad leader sharing an office with Carter) has discovered an outsider teleporter/naval dock where spaceships come and go.

We also have to take Dr. Weir there to study it.

So the next mission is going to be a hell of a slaughterfest. Have to link up with DaSilva and protect Dr. Weir.
