I'll let this statement speak for itself.
On my MEC?
What we really need is a flaming rocket boosted fist that shoots flames.
If that's a serious question on what's probably the better thing to equip.. then I really don't know.

I'm sorry, are you guys reminding me of my worst XCOM moments on purpose or what?

Kinetic module is better just because it kills pretty much anything short of a full-health mechtoid

like im here to read about XCOM, not your journey through puberty[/QUOTE]
This pretty much sums up what I want to say but don't want to bluntly post.
I know the anime style picture things are xcom related and such but can we keep the Xcom thread to Xcom and keep the berserker blowjobs and other such related crap out the thread?
So long as we keep out the dumb 'heresy' shit too.

Sexism is still alright though.
Man, how many good troopers have been left out or even killed because of sexism in the higher command..

You don't think that is overdoing it just a [I]tiny[/I] bit?
I mean, you really gotta go all-out with the allahu ahkbar tactics to get even half of those names appear in a game.
Well, if mine shows up in the generator, it's probably best to mod the guy to be an MEC.
Shit. That wont actually do it either. You gotta build a meatgrinder to achieve even that.

Oh yeah, it is impressive allright.

FLAMETHROWER OR ROCKET BOOSTED FIST?[/QUOTE]
Personally i like the flamethrower because it's an AOE attack that can kill / damage a lot of enemies in one go without failure and cause survivors to panic including ethereal but especially the 'zero fucks given zerg rushing barstard' chrysalids and early game that can be a god send, however the game has a habit of saying 'Nope not in range' on enemies who are standing in the middle of the furnace.
I also find it easier to rank up my MEC troopers using the flamethrower then the KSM too.
But then again, punching an alien in the face is quiet fun.

That's nice, but who are most of these guys? I mean the current namelist is based around people who post in this thread.

I like to bring one of each, Flamethrower to wreck everything and Power-Fist to punch those fucking mechtoids and cyberdiscs through walls. All the MEC one-liners are really awesome, though I wish there were more voices.
I don't play with mecs, ever. They are cool and all but I prefer some of the more subtle advantages of gene mods.

That really is a tough question though.
I mean. If we go by rule of cool, we have a flamethrower, which are not only cool as shit, but also one of the most horrifying weapons ever invented.
On the other hand, we have a robot punching aliens. Which is pretty much off the charts when it comes to coolness.
personally I prefer the flamethrower.
It can deal a good amount of damage to more than one enemy at once, can cause panic in those not killed by the fire
It looks and sounds cool. It's a terrifying weapon in itself that no human being deserves to be torched by. Which is why it's perfect for frying xenos.

I always found fist more useful since you can finish off most enemies with it and create new holes to buildings to flank enemy from

Play Long War, use both.
Fist is very good lategame since it oneshots everything. If you rush MECs then Flamethrower will oneshot things for a decently long period of time before being a panic and chip tool.
Edit: By the way, is anyone else intensely bothered by female soldiers? They don't have the same thick outline as the male ones and they don't look as good in armor & helmet combos.
It really doesn't help that I get nothing but female recruits. They do look really good in a MEC though, so that's cool.
Let's not even talk about gene mods. Two guns is enough, you don't need four
Reading this thread almost makes me want to play XCOM again.
[I]Almost.[/I]
[QUOTE=lilguy;48103118]X-COM army RTS where every single unit has a name when?[/QUOTE]
I think Men of War does that actually.
As a matter of fact, Men of War takes that up to eleven, every single unit in the game has it's own inventory and ammo management and all that.
X-Com Men of War total conversion mod when?

Kinetic module becomes infinitely more fun when you realize that you punch them so hard that you will send their body flying backwards and can setup chain reactions by doing so. Punch sectoid into car, blow it up to kill his friends.
[QUOTE=Sunkite;48103541]

Oh I have tried them, and the raw power is great, but it feels like I'm just walking a giant target around the map, which is the trade off I know.
Mimetic skin, muscle fiber density, and depth perception are my sweet seductresses.
Somehow, a sectoid has managed to avoid being stunned 7 times in a row with a 54% chance.
Long War. I love you but god damn you can be a bother.
I got Portent when all I have is squaddies and two disabled corporals. My second Council Mission and I don't even have a squad size upgrade.
What do I do? I wanted to do a full playthrough in Classic so I could get the achievements, but I think I have to turn the difficulty down in order to survive the Thin Men that miss [I]literally never[/I]
