Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball
It's like if one of those talking balls from Portal was designed for combat and not for telling jokes.
How fucking terrifying.

About to assault the alien base, do I take a SHIV with me or another soldier?
>the aliens got all kinds of additions to their forces
>meanwhile humans got machetes
Why is this allowed?
>>323022969
If you have a lv 4 or higher soldier take him. Shivs are inferior late game
>>323023127
Because we're going to get the ability to make a cute snake alien fall in love and get impregnated by a human.

>>323022625
I saw an alien tech exo-suit as well. All white/silver and blue.
Good to see some of the later game stuff.

>>323022969
protip: shivs are immune to psychic bullshit
so, take a wild guess
>>323023259
I have such a strong desire to go on a SHIV run now.
Why the fuck are they critting so often?
>>323024393
probably a mix of flanking bonus and the plasma weapons
>>323023259
>That ending
Holy shit. I didn't know they could do that.
>no spare cash for XCOM2
Sorry Firaxis, it's a bit too steep of a price.
>>323023254
I swear that's gonna be the first mod people make.
Actually no, it'll probably be nude mods for female soldiers, then snake sex.
Seriously though I hope this game has a active modding community.

I'd like a XCOM3 where you can recruit aliens into your ranks to fight nastier aliens.
>>323027352

I'm more excited for the firaxis stream today desu. Apparently they won't be using a pre-generated save.
>>323027562
I know that.
Also they have a burrow ability that is literally: fuck concrete, I burrow whenever and wherever I want and you cannot stop me.
>>323027598
It's about as tall as a human too.
>>323027776

>>323023127
Because that's all a human needs.

This webm really is in nutshell of everything i hated about XCOM. Difficult aside, it's the bullshit mechanics that gets me. Same as in Souls serie i never raged on boss that was truely hard. But when enemies/bosses had the "shockwave" strikes and such, it was just shit mechanic.
>>323035117
>pistols buffed
Muh dick. I loved gene-modding a gunslinger sniper then throwing them into EXALT missions.
>>323035240
The blue outline on the screen that means you're in concealment.
>>323035372
Thin men can't have lightning reflex in single player, and in xcom 2 your soldiers on overwatch take reaction shots in turns not at the same time.
>>323035432
Sniper got 2 trees, one is generic sniper and the other is pretty much turning the class to revolver ocelot.

What's the bonus of staying in concealment that one of the classes can have despite everyone else being exposed? That he can move around freely or does he get bonus attack before revealed?

>>323036184
Don't think so, one class got a drone already which they can send to hack things, aid soldiers or harass enemies with.
Maybe in the Shen DLC that will be out in the summer, most likely mech and maybe shivs then.
>>323036643
Yo what happened to 2GD, I haven't seen that fucker since late 2014.
>>323036647
in EU they aren't.
Then again, neither were PSI soldiers.
There's nothing stopping some sort of AI-prototype SHIV from Shen being a class in 2.
>>323036746
Would be rad.
I want regular Shivs that get upgraded into bigger chassis, eventually looking like Dreadnoughts.

No. You can take your character pool from XCom 2 and save it in a file. You can then put that file on the internet or do whatever the fuck you want with it and someone else or you on another XCom 2 installation can just use that file to get the characters from your character pool file.

I like shivs because i run 2 heavies and 1 support so i have 4 suppression abilities, there's always a weird gap between high cover when you're advancing and the shiv fits in there nicely so you can take cover behind it one turn without sprinting, somehow the defense bonus on shiv works really nicely that it doesn't get totally wrecked standing out in the open.
2 heavies
1 support assault sniper shiv usually my goto squad make up in successful games.

>>323040343
Dude fucking rookies. A full squad of them can't even take a small UFO that crash landed. You gotta put light plasma rifles and scopes on them to maybe hit.
I just lost my fuckin lieutenant assault best character that does the bulk of my killing and a support had 2 supports with suppression, none of my heavies are getting promoted past squaddie. I'm on the third month my vet is one of those supports and he's injured for most of the month, a sniper with squadsight and gunslinger, a squaddie heavy that just got promoted, and some rookies with no OCS built. I been winning strategically but I'm losing way too badly on the battles and might not make it through the rest of this month. Nexus and 5 satellites being constructed but no vets, mutons just showed up. Every fight I trigger up to a dozen aliens on the first or second turn a lot of the time it's damn floaters and the fuckers just keep doing that warp to flank I got no armor built another day for skel suits, 3 laser rifles. I'm about ready to start another classic iron man game because I'm so fucked right now with these rookies.

AYYY LMAO
>>323035563
xcom heist and abduction missions are an actual thing in OG xcom: if you don't have a good squad to destroy an alien base you can send a single rookie called "big boss" and a dog to kidnap the first alien you see and then run away, there is no penalty for aborting the mission
>>323042280
Well, the optimal strategy for bases is to not destroy them at all, and simply farm them for resources. Come in, wreck shop on some ayys, take their bodies and blaster launchers and peace out. Wait until they replenish the base and do it again. Repeat until you need a rating boost.

How do i get good in XCOM:EW?

>>323043006
>does having one nation withdrawn from project are a bad thing?
Nah, your fine. Just too bad about the continent bonus.
>>323043006
No, it's not a bad thing, it's going to happen.
On higher difficulty rush towards laser weapons and skellington armor.
>>323043006
Not really. You can lose a lot of countries and win in EW.
Just try to rush satellites as quickly as you can. That's the only real strategy here. That's how you control panic.
>>323043006
Satellites and Lasers. That's pretty much all you need to know.

that version is MONTHS old anon, probably still in alpha stage, it's just that the NDA was lifted from it
>>323046240
XCOM 1 constantly had these sort of fuck ups. I'm just being realistic here.
That being said, if they do manage to fix all of this:
>>323045636
in the final version of XCOM2 game would be GOTY all years.
>>323046007
Yeah the animations aren't going to be polished. Sucks, but whatever.
>>323046007

You mean like, never?
Only Crysis and Far Cry did that. And Strategy games don't have a history of pushing graphics.
>>323048849
TBS games never did push the graphics though, mostly it was FPS games that did that.
I still haven't beat EW yet. I'm too afraid of losing my soldiers.
I thin Thin Men and normal Sectoids will still be in this game.

Play OpenXCOM, it's a good entry to the classic games.
Stop posting XCOM 1 content, nobody wants to see that deprecated turd now.

If you can deal with a little clunk and the graphics, sure. Use OpenXcom.

Thats the point.
Advent are the face men. The "Test" of humanity failed; they were too weak.
Any aliens you see are not held back; and most are stronger due to incorporation of human genetic material.

Faceless. They disguise themselves as civilians then hulk out if they see xcom.
