You are LATE

>>158850707

Apart from the LW Perk and Alien packs, an AI enhancer and little tweaks like removing the hidden aim assists from Commander difficulty, all of the gameplay changes are part of a mod suite of my own that I've been tinkering with since launch.

Longer campaign, larger pods, more pods, increased stats and damage for mid-late game aliens, no limit on how many enemies can target the same XCOM soldier, Chryssalids on all retaliation missions, increased range penalties for shotguns, etc, etc.

I've also done stuff to buff XCOM, like increase squad size from 4-6 to 5-7, but the sum total is such boundless magnificence on the tactical layer that even I'm getting sick of it, and I'm the sort of moaning masochist who enjoys when games kick the hell out of me.

It's certainly true that we have less to talk about because we're all playing slightly different games, especially in the sense that we can't share tactics as naturally as we could in the LW days. Not sure that's the only reason why we're on life support, though.

Despite their reputation in the games. The Federation Marine (Metroid) looks quite well rounded when compared to the rest.

>>158898994

How intelligent do you think the Faceless is? Is it sapient? Can it imitate human speech and mannerisms besides just shapeshifting? Or is it dumb animal that's just trained to disguise and then start swiping its claws around when shit goes down.

>>158899875
i would say its the latter since we never worry about faceless getting into the avenger
also it would explain Bradford's comment about advent not needing infiltration units since the faceless its more of an ambusher enemy rather than actual infiltration

>>158900290
>>158899875
Definitely side with the dumb animal argument that also backs up Bradford's comments. Thin men on the other hand were clearly very intelligent and could speak multiple human languages.

>>158900290
>>158900569

Yeah, it fits. So the Faceless is basically a giant, shapeshifting attack dog. I wonder if it's supposed to be made from human genetic slag from Avatar leftovers.

X2 sorted in order of apparent intelligence:

Ethereal > Viper > Muton = Sectoid = Andromedon > Codex > Gatekeeper > Archon > Faceless = Chryssalid = Berserker

Not sure about the ADVENT troops. Also not sure just how deep the supposed mind control of the aliens goes. I prefer to think of it as a subtle form of compulsion rather than remote control, because killing the ayys is a lot less satisfying if they are mindless shells who can't be held responsible for their actions.

>>158901907
I'd say go for a commander campaign. Also, if you haven't done an ironman try for that. Mod anytime you want though.

>>158901986
I'm really not sure what to make of the Gatekeeper intelligence. Also I submit that codexi are smarter for sure than mutons.

>>158901306

>>158901907
definitely crank up the difficulty, and if you feel like you have vanilla X2 figured out then start modding it
either way i would recommend some quality of life mods and map packs to spice things up
you can find a link to the Modlist Steam Collection in the op

>>158902212
>codexi are smarter for sure than mutons

Gut feeling would lead me to agree, it's a highly advanced creature. I ranked it below the muton because I wasn't sure whether it has sapience in its own right, or if it's more like bipedal anti-virus, a super-advanced AI.

>>158901986
Compulsions over years to make the control nearly needless makes sense but the way the Advent are described as acting when control is severed implies its enough to cause some to freak out, while others just stick to their programming because its all they know

>>158901907

Grab some mods you find interesting, step up the difficulty and play again. I've found the game to have ridiculous longevity.

>>158902667

Yeah, I got the impression that the ADVENT soldiers are more or less dependent on the psionic network and have their personalities and individuality suppressed, while the actual aliens like the Viper and the Muton are a lot more free and bossing ADVENT around.

Thanks for the advice.

On the subject of mods, I'm worried that specifically the "long war enemies" and the ones that add classes would unbalance things to hell and back; I might just stick with the map ones, the fixes, and the quality of life ones.

>>158903061
But i dont like the neck pillow

>>158903131

The LW alien pack isn't as magnificent as you might expect, and the perk pack is a downright cheat.I use it, because eight classes are a lot more fun than four, but I had to even it out with some buffs for the aliens.

>>158902959
at the same time it now doubt is the result of generations of mental suggestion to get them to that point with the network there as a life line, granted I see X3 having far fewer Alien Turncoats then ADVENT turncoats

>>158903490

Sounds solid. They've been indoctrinated through centuries of intergalactic conquest and any other existence seems unthinkable to them now. They'll probably keep fighting even without the Ethereals pulling the strings.

I think TFTD will be Xcom3. But i don't think the expansion is going to be like Enemy Within where it was pretty much the same game again either.

>>158889460
Remember when the porting guy DIDN'T KNOW there were remasters coming out and went FUCK when he heard?

>>158902976
They cut them out because they had a few too many half-cover approaches.

>>158904120
on the other hand, with no one or cause to actually fight for, morale is going to drop like a rock, many of them might go feral, others just shut down altogether, and then those precious few that ask "is there something more to this life" that would be the moment of truth for them, those that recognize they have a choice, could either continue and doom themselves to a genocide born of our self defense or make a better future

Yo /xcg/ I need some advice. I'm getting ready to start a new xcom 2 commander ironman campaign. I haven't played since the initial release so I'm not really up to date with the all the mods and dlc.

I was wondering if alien hunters is worthwhile? The boss creatures seem OP and the weapons look a little goofy.

Also are the LW perk and alien packs decently balanced? Or should I just roll with vanilla perks / classes and a better advent?

>>158910682
The perk pack is good with the ayy pack I find

>>158910682
Frankly, I thought the rulers DLC kinda unbalances things, the freeze grenade is OP against everything, but the alien rulers are op against pretty much everything but the freeze grenades.

>>158904960
Because it was terrible to play, the museum had like two full cover pieces on the entire map (the statues near the stairs and some plant pots right on spawn) forcing you to either overwatch forever or lose people. The construction site was a lot better in that it was pushable, but only by sneaking down that tunnel that goes around the edge of the map.

How bad, on a scale from 1 to 'suicide', is using half cover and not hunkering?

Mission was going great until a random faceless popped up after I had already used everyone's moves except my ranger, and he missed the crit.

Dickass faceless runs right up to my Lt grenadier, who is taking cover on a car, bitch slaps him and simultaneously explodes the car, killing both of them

>>158917859
Who yeah, big rule of retaliation missions are no explodable cover and no roofs as long as you don't know where the faceless are.

Also, as rule in X2 avoid cars as cover whenever possible. They are just explosive barrels from FPS games and Comand and Conquer games disguised in a TBS.

I was thinking about this earlier. I don't really like it. At least not the way it's presented. I think they're tying to say EU was a simulation? That's pretty shitty. I'd rather they just went with the whole alternate timeline thing and leave EU alone. I think it would be just fine that way.

Also I really don't like the implications that The Bureau is canon. Although that's just some speculation I've read.

>>158926468

I think when it came to it, they ALSO said that it was an alternate universe, as was EW to EU, and that's what makes me a bit nervous of the whole 'alternate universe' sequel design, it works, sure, but I think after a few too many repetitions you start to lose track of the action going on at the moment.

Also, I think the first time the sequel was a fail state was apocalypse, where XCOM won, but fucked the environment so everyone had to move to the megacity.

>>158926667
When it comes to EW I don't really think it needs to be an alternate universe since it doesn't really change anything it just adds to it. But I guess it's whatever.

I think any sequel can take place whenever as long as it's interesting and doesn't try to retcon. I'm really excited at the prospect of a sequel going back underwater though.

>>158926626
I don't like that explanation, it takes away so much from The Commander's character; I would prefer it if he was simply a brilliant tactician who's experience directing all the ADVENT soldiers from afar (and latent psionic abilities(how do you think he get's his orders to each and every soldier?)) allowed him to ascend in a similar way to the etherials, although that doesn't really take into account how they eldars talk to you in the last mission.

I interpret it as more of EU/EW being a simulation, but in that universe only.
>>158926468
Why not?

>>158927249
I just don't really like the game itself or it's story. And like that other guy said I think it takes something away from the Commander's character. But I guess at the end of the day I can just pretend each game is its own universe.

>>158927249

Yeah I understand the dislike for Bureau being canon due to the "implications."
In every single x-com game, it's just you, your staff, and you soldiers. You take these men and women and lead them to victory over the invading aliens, a job well done.

In XCOM1 and XCOM2, this would appear to be the same exact theme. But, in the Bureau, it's clear that humanity only wins because an ethereal is helping us. Without that eathereal, we would most certainly lose. So that already starts to errode the narrative of humanity rising up of it's own accord and defeating the invader.

And then you get to the hints in X2 suggesting that maybe the commander is bound to the same ethereal, and you hit the same issue. It really dillutes this narrative of it just being you and your men doing the impossible, and into this idea that we only keep on beating the ayys because we have a powerful ethereal on our side. Just doesn't seem nearly as impressive or cool.

It really depends on what aesthetics you prefer. Try the Halo, Titanfall and the like for cosmetic mods first. Then go for the Long War Studios mods for something more elaborate. Check Marbozir modded campaigns to see more options in action.

Also, check the OP for recommendations.

>>158934858
much appreciated!

>>158934774

Capnbubs, all the long war ones, a better advent, spectrum enemies, a better ai, a better advent pods plus(or something like that), pick some guerilla war mods too, bruiser class, SpecOps class, advent sniper, mercenary plasma.

That's just off the top of my head. Obviously there's also a million cosmetic and voice mods out there.

I figure they're trained to act like humans, but it's training in the sense of dogs rather than in the sense of soldiers or agents. They can walk like humans, run like humans, etc, but couldn't keep up the ruse for very long under scrutiny.

Come to think of it, do we know if the Faceless encountered in resistance havens were deployed there along with the retaliation force? Or were they there before, reporting back to their masters?

It's the opposite. Vahlen's report stated that they were apparently so resilient and fiercely loyal to the alien collective that the usual torture didn't work on them, and they had to come up with new, extra intrusive methods for interrogating them.

They expected thin men to be hardened against interrogation, and were surprised to find that this was not the case.

Research start:
>It seems unlikely that this particular species will break under interrogation as quickly as the other captives, as we believe it was specifically intended to serve as an infiltrator. Still, perhaps if we use more aggressive techniques, we can...coax...it into revealing additional information about how the aliens arrived here.

Research end:
>Capturing one of the invaders' infiltration specialists has proven both illuminating and disturbing. Although at first glance they resemble the human form, and are trained to communicate in a range of terrestrial languages, this specimen is far from human. We had assumed its role as an infiltration unit would preclude us from gaining anything of value during our interrogation. However, as it turns out, the captive was surprisingly...pliable once we began the procedure.

>Aside from its primary role as a reconnaissance and infiltration specialist, the Thin Man also proved to be quite familiar with the alien's navigation systems and celestial cartography. The information gained from this interrogation is of crucial importance to our efforts in reverse engineering the alien navigational computers and related systems.

That's pretty average, as is being partway through your transition to tier 2 when you start seeing muttons.

Loyal but not to a fault, potentially also interested in seeing a better deal, that is if any but the speaker and vipers remain

Killzone or faceoff and why?

"Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him."
-Louis L'Amour

Seems fitting

>>159077446
Now that's down to the wire

>>159079259
All that matters is what your build is. Killzone for snipers, faceoff for gunslingers.

>>159080324
What build should I do then?

>>159080586
idk, people are pretty split over which build is stronger. Personally I think I would go for gunslinger, but when it comes to legendary, I feel like the marksmen is the weakest class overall.

>>159080586

Experiment :)

>>159080586
Whatever suits your playstyle better.

>>159080756
So, I should run 2 rangers, 2 grenadiers, and 2 specialists?

Like a conceal ranger for scouting, a phantom run and gun ranger for fighting/if ranger 1 is hurt.

A gunner grenadier for removing armor and shit

A grenade grenadier for shooting acid grenades and shit

A combat specialist for guaranteed damage, hacking, and anti synthetic

and a heal specialist for healing?
