First of all, what the christ is up with that techno armor.
Secondly, Jesus help us.

Damn, kind of hoped the sectopod would be more beefy. Doesn't look as intimidating as EU.
These huge enemies are great. The Faceless on the stream was fucking terrifying when you saw it next to a regular soldier and that thing looks almost 2 stories.
Also box strats still going

I'm pretty sure that's not a Sectopod.

I don't know who uploaded that particular image, but according to that filename it's a sectopod.

Reminds me of a AT-ST from Star Wars
[QUOTE=Cows Rule;49477725]So I wonder if Domination works longer now that we can only do it once per mission. There also seem to be a few less "support" psi abilities, but maybe that's just me. The idea of the psi amp is cool though, hope it's upgradeable, but if so could it take the place of psi armor?[/QUOTE]
The description said that Domination was permanent for the mission (Unless it can be mind controlled back? That wasn't stated), or until your Psi Op dies or is MC'd themself, I guess.
I wonder if you can mind control sectoids and then mind control or raise zombies with it?
Just started playing X-COM Enemy Within, first one of the series I'm playing. Can someone explain a few things to me?
In terms of weaponry, are beams and lasers any better than the stock ones? Is there a time limit in terms of how many days can go by? What country makes the best starting location? I chose Asia.
Overall, I like it. I just don't want to bungle my first playthrough because I probably won't have the time to replay it for a while.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;49484936]Lasers are better than ballistics, plasma is better than lasers. There isn't a definite time limit but there is a soft limit based on the amount of countries that drop out. Some countries are better than others but you'll be fine with any really.[/QUOTE]
Weren't non-ballistic weapons really ass as time went on in the old X-COM games though? Or are they thoroughly superior now?

Just got to some unknown mission in a fishing village. Got a bad feeling, gonna send one guy and a bunch of SHIVs.

In vanilla every tier of weapons are better than the previous. Someone here played through an entire campaign with only using ballistic weapons.
Also good luck with that.

Our very own Nick debunked that theory when he finished an entire playthrough with ballistic weaponry.

Actually, if you position your troops right, that mission can be an XP farm
[QUOTE=Rents;49484071]I wonder if you can mind control sectoids and then mind control or raise zombies with it?[/QUOTE]
or better yet, mind control a sectoid and use it bring one of your dead teammates back
That would be fucked up if you could do that then use a medkit on it to stabilize it back into a living human
I hope we can at least color the swords. Do we have a confirmed number of weapon tiers?
[QUOTE=Cows Rule;49487700]I hope we can at least color the swords. Do we have a confirmed number of weapon tiers?[/QUOTE]
So far there's Ballistics, Magnetic, and Plasma, haven't seen anything aside from that.
Though the game is supposed to be highly moddable so hopefully that includes stuff like textures and models so we can have a team of Rangers who all look like Mace Windu.
That walker thing looks extremely fragile TBH. Look at that extremely stubby leg connector, swing at that shit with your techno sword and off goes the leg
