How would an operator operate operationally against aliens?
By getting nuked from space.

The documentary "Aliens" covers this rather thoroughly. Further historical texts include "Halo" and "Starship Troopers" if you'd like to know more.

>>28549072
You operate operationally against ayys.
The new one is a what if scenario. It takes place in a world where the aliens won and you have to command the resistance.
>>28549271
Someone got killed, Memester panicked, he grenaded a bunch of people.
>>28546937
Like this
>>28549072
Aliens are invading so you run a team whose job is to fight them by dissecting,interrogating, and adapting the tech of the aliens to go from shooting bullets to shooting lasers, to shooting plasma and crystal shards.
Also, genetic modifications and mech suits are involved.
>>28549297
Why are there so many soldiers?
>>28549333
Beagle edited the .ini for science and VietCOM.
>>28549341
Good
>>28549271
Beags modded the game to have like 40 guys on eahc mission. Someone gets killed, Memester panicks, runs away and then throws a grenade right into the assed up friendlies.
XCOM triggered my autism.
>vanilla XCOM team is just a bunch of guys with body armor and assault rifles
>surely half a dozen guys with rifles is such a rare thing that it's worth flying them in from another continent to fight the aliens
>it's not like almost every part of earth that aliens could conceivably land in has a military that can bring in an entire company and turn first contact into the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
>oh, if those three guys hadn't gotten shot, humanity would have been able to defeat the alien menace
>>28549399
They do have their own militaries, it's just that they bring you in to deal with the shit that only xcom can deal with because xcom is the organization with all the tech and the best personnel.
They never justify why it's only xcom that can handle the missions you're give but anyway here's the real answer.
It's a video game.

It's a remake of the game from the 90's.
And the 90's don't gotta explain shit to none a ya'll!
And if it makes any more, or less sense somehow, in the old games the number of soldiers you could send was a lot higher, and they were 10 times as expendable.
1 and 3 are tied for my favorite, with the remake a close 2nd.
>>28549399
Play the original, you can send swarms of rookies to die en mass against the alien invaders.
You can recreate 'Nam by landing your ship with 20 squaddies and have an alien send an rpg straight up the loading ramp and kill everybody.
By building huge "tactical surface fighters" 20m tall despite the fact they have an operational ceiling of 100m if any Anti-Air class aliens are operating.
I'll also give them tons of armour despite it providing minimal defensive capability against said aliens.
Finally I'll make all the pilots female not because of fanservice but because males have all died (except for all the male guards, mechanics, politicians, infantry)
>>28549314
>smurf
whatever butcher
With some like to defeat them better stock up on federal ammo
You don't, unless you also happen to be capable of flight between stars.
The material and energy sciences that it takes to fly between stars in a reasonable amount of time. It would entail such a huge gap in technology. That a simple alien child's toy, would look like magic to us.
>>28551291
except that none of that is true.
>>28547287 that was that post was ment for the 92fs
>>28551340
you can't even prove me wrong kid. Sorry your franchise has awful internal logic.
>>28551387
none of that happened in the series. they even make it a point about how newer generation TSFs have much less armor because the focus is on mobility.
There are also plenty of male pilots, the MC is one of them.
>>28546937
They don't; XCOM lost the war you nerd.

You just need one sniper, I had my best soldier Enrique Iglesias delivering the fist of god special with exactly those perks.
Two assault classes (Pooinloo Nevah was my best) with psychic powers, two medics and a rocket heavy with the blaster launcher.

>>28546937
I don't like the design in the 'first' X-COM. Everything is fuck hueg and all the dudes look like they're from Gears of War.
But now all dudes look like twinks with no muscle mass in the new game.
>>28554662
>You will never be happy
I know greentext is worth fuck all but if you're going to be mad either way it's not much of a complaint.
>>28554662
Get the fuck out.
>>28554662
Models and guns were fuckhuge in the first game because it was designed for consoles. Because new game is supposed to be seen from a computer screen they could make the models smaller and detailed. Not their fault that you question your sexuality so much desu.
>>28554957
In fairness, they're no more fuckhuge than Warhammer 40,000. Model scaling like that is intended to make it easy to distinguish what each unit is equipped with at a distance, since you're posting from an overhead, tactical perspective. The choice of platform doesn't really enter into it.
>>28553273
AYY LMAO MY MASTERS!
Let th take me in all holes with their tentacles
>>28554957
They were fuckhuge as a stylistic choice to try and emulate the cartoony style of the first, with mixed results.
Where is snek?
