[QUOTE=Vaeh;48703104]Maternity leave. Dr. Shen really doesn't like wearing condoms.[/QUOTE] Now we know where Lily comes from...

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;48700647]I wonder what happened to Vahlen in 2[/QUOTE] My guess is probably captured and possibly forced to work for ADVENT.

And so Long War begins... Box strats for days boys

New Faceless info and pics [url]http://xcom.com/news/en-xcom-2s-faceless-hides-among-us[/url] -Can morph into civillians -They stand about 1 story tall -Powers are currently unknown -Way of identifying it is currently unknown [t]https://downloads.2kgames.com/xcom2/blog_images/XCOM2_render_faceless.jpg[/t] [t]https://downloads.2kgames.com/xcom2/blog_images/XCOM2_faceless_concept.jpg[/t]

I think that thing might be slightly creepier than the ufo defense chryssalid :wideeye:

I'm sorry, did you say 2 stories tall? Looks like that's it boys, we lost, everyone pack up and conform.

Either that or when you blow it's cover it grows to 2 fucking stories tall and starts stomping your shit, which is honestly terrifying.

Ok looks like i need to focus more into firepower and armor [editline]18th September 2015[/editline] Is plasma the highest grade or there's even higher?

[quote=http://xcom.com/news/en-xcom-2s-faceless-hides-among-us]the Faceless stands nearly one story tall[/quote] it's one story tall by the way

[QUOTE=Takuat;48704773]Going by this [img]https://downloads.2kgames.com/xcom2/blog_images/faceless.gif[/img] Its the latter[/QUOTE] Holy shit, i didn't see that. [QUOTE=Turnips5;48704783]it's one story tall by the way[/QUOTE] Somehow that doesn't make it any less terrifying.

I'm guessing before you can find a way to detect them, you're going to have to be extremely careful with letting civilians get close to you. Sometimes you might find yourself unable to take the risk so you end up killing civilians so you have to choose between mission score and keeping your men alive. Of course it's going to be funny when you find yourself launching a rocket at advent troops and the collateral damage ends up taking out a civilian that turns out to be a faceless

[QUOTE=Eeshton;48704541]I'm sorry, did you say 2 stories tall? Looks like that's it boys, we lost, everyone pack up and conform.[/QUOTE] I'm waiting on the sectopod. Back in EU they wanted to make that thing HUGE, but due to game limits they made it fit into a single square. Can't wait on Boss Battle Sectopods.

Is anyone going to Firaxicon here? According to the Event info they posted you'd be able to play XCOM 2 there. Makes me wonder if we'll get a demo soon-ish

This thing and the Regenerator for Resident Evil are my favourite things ever. Just giggly huge horrifying abominations. New Crysaalids are cool, but amn I am gonna miss those round glowing eyes they had. They seemed so mindless, so... alien. I mean, even more than they are :v: Those eyes alone would inspire me more fear than the whole new Cryssalid.

I already lost China and Australia few missions after the 4th story mission. I should really focus on Satellites.

Well my roommate has been playing UFO Defense, so I've put my pair on and started playing TFTD. I don't understand what's going on too well, I do know there's a port attack in Tokyo and we're stocked with Gauss Weapons. The game definitely tests my patience but I'm getting through. Might put up a second base next month.

[QUOTE]Unfortunately, we have no intel on how to identify a Faceless unit prior to its transformation. So, beware any civilian caught on the battlefield - they could be a Faceless in disguise.[/QUOTE] So kill every civilian? We real terrorists now

[QUOTE=zipziggy;48710631]So kill every civilian? We real terrorists now[/QUOTE] Maybe since they're made of some sort of goo, we spray they with fire hoses

[QUOTE=mralexs;48711061]Maybe since they're made of some sort of goo, we spray they with fire hoses[/QUOTE] Key the videos of people only spraying the black civis with fire hoses.

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;48711546]New grenade type: Water Balloon.[/QUOTE] I guess that would work as the opposite of incendiary ammo.

first mission abort this campaign [t]http://i.imgur.com/hm5l1Rr.jpg[/t] this was the second turn

Now I lost Canada, but I got bunch of Plasma Rifles. Mutons and Berserkers are disturbingly common now though.

[QUOTE=Kommodore;48715578]first mission abort this campaign -Code black in a can- this was the second turn[/QUOTE] W-why are you fighting Mectoids/Wraiths with ballistics? I kinda want to know the story of how things went that wrong.

[QUOTE=greasemunky;48716775]W-why are you fighting Mectoids/Wraiths with ballistics? I kinda want to know the story of how things went that wrong.[/QUOTE]Thats his first mission

[QUOTE=Kommodore;48715578]first mission abort [/QUOTE] I understood this as it being his first abort in the campaign. Is this thread English learning now?
