Only 4 weapon tiers? That's will be a bitch to get used to again with Long War's 6.
[QUOTE=Kommodore;48050863]they also said something about magnetic weapons[/QUOTE]
We already seen those on every advent unit.

6? Ballistic, Laser, Gauss, Pulse, Plasma
What am I missing?
I can't count to 5 :downs:
I guess I keep thinking of the MEC loss in these terms
ooh at the very beginning of the pre-visualization video

interesting, looks like the "city centers" will be placed and named procedurally
also randomized op names are still in
I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of branches to the tiers. For example different kinds of plasma weapons. There's a green one with better chance to hit, a lightning plasma that hit nearby enemies as well as the one targeted, and a yellow plasma that is more likely to score crits. and a purple plasma reduces will as well as hurt health.

Dw, Pulse is useless in Long War anyway, so just think of it as 4 already.

I hope New New York is possible. Or New York in England from the current York. York. New.
Newest York

Wait, people are using some extra camera functions? To even catch aliens in the fog better?

Why's this? just curious. They're cheap, and accurate.. Like the lesser Laser gun.
Don't the base security guards get equipped with these too, if you opt for the particular Foundry project?
Does anyone have a guide they can recommend for the original XCOM? I wasn't in the generation of gaming where I'm perfectly okay when a game drops me in like I just woke up from the Matrix.
But figuring it out is half the fun!
I remember I rarely ever used grenades because I couldn't ever be sure how does priming and throwing them work and that led to lot of critical mishaps.

Not really much for camera angles, you just see the sound effect better and imagine it across the FoW.
As far as why pulse is useless, Gauss already removes additional DR resistance which at this point every enemy has. Especially when you do the quenchguns foundry project or w/e it's called. So you might as well look at the bigger picture at hand and go for plasma.
[QUOTE]Long War Pulse Laser Debate[/QUOTE]
The only plus to pulse lasers really is just the upgraded laser cannons for your interceptors.
As for your squad, the cost of pulse weapons are already quite high so you're best off just getting gauss and saving for plasma.

man I hope I can get eyepatches for my soldiers
I might've gone for some heavy pulse rifles for infantry. Then you have the gauss long rifle. Even vs plasma I might not change that :v: (well in b14 at least) I haven't tried it in B15 yet

There was a guy wearing an eyepatch in the E3 demo
That mission where you have to escort the chinese dude is such a load of bullshit in LW,
Took me forever to get him and my soldiers through in somewhat one piece :v:

I usually do that mission no problem. I take a sniper and a scout with marksman rifle and just camp in cover for a while. I usually make it out in one piece without save-scumming or anything like that. Just move slowly, stick to cover, and make heavy use of grenades and stuff. Oh, and engage at range.
[QUOTE=Pigbear;48059027]yes but Zhang is awesome if your talking about what I think you are.[/QUOTE]
I am. And yeah Zhang is a beast. He ended up as a Assault soldier in my game.

can't believe I missed that
these alien motherfuckers sure are gonna find out that Snake Plissken is [i]not[/i] dead... the hard way
New meta: give everyone working for you an eyepatch and name them Snake.

I really hope we get Meld back in some respects, first time I saw this cutscene I felt so pumped, now I could finally REALLY put the hurt on those bloody aliens.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on here.
Snek strangling, me thinks.

isn't he always a heavy?

In long war with the right second wave option you can assign him a class.
