like DeAngelis was awkwardly dismissive about it when asked and im p sure in the Angry Joe thing he basically all but says they're not in

wtf is this[/QUOTE]
They're a terrorist group doing stuff like blowing up huge statues in populated areas, firing weapons near crowds of people, and generally causing chaos that encourages more violent action from the aliens. They're doing it to bring people back their freedom, but there's going to be collateral and it's a lot less black-and-white than XCOM 1. Watching the angry joe video now though, I'll see what's up in there.

uhhh but Site is clear of civilians, collateral damage is not a concern?

This kind of talk is unacceptable, Rookie. Now take this suicide vest and rejoin your fire-team led by Captain Marc Lecointe.
Watched the Angry Joe video, and yeah, it seems pretty definitive that there ain't MECs. Pretty surprised that nobody mentioned that point in the thread up until now.
EDIT:
[QUOTE=Kommodore;48225290]thank you for really bringing home how meaningless the word terrorism is[/QUOTE]
My point is that they're endangering people's lives in a much more substantial way than XCOM 1. There was a lot of people nearby when they fired those first shots.
[QUOTE=wat_am_i_doin;48225343]I'm pretty sure we'll be given more reasons to dislike Advent than just a bit of carelessness when dealing with civilians, like Kommodore said Garth's stated the game won't be trying to walk a moral high-wire.[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah, I'm sure they'll make ADVENT be horrible, we've already got the kidnappings and forced genetic modification stuff. I'm talking about XCOM themselves.

i dont want to derail with that so im just going to add that again, Garth was like super adamant that XCOM are the "good guys" and that the game isn't trying to walk a highwire in that way

[QUOTE=RichyZ;48225595]Why do people have such hardons for the MECs?[/QUOTE]
They're like shivs but cooler, and had a lot of fun gameplay stuffs like flamethrowers and proximity mines.
But yeah, I can see conventional mecha being a possibly more ethically safe alternative to ordering a recruit to get on the operating table and hacking their limbs off so that you can jam them into a hulking electronic monstrosity for the purposes of warfare.
Frankly, I think it'd be a better option to get in the fucking robot, rather than get gored into it.

Like Fallout power armour as it was originally intended. A vehicle that wraps around you.

Get that horrid garbage of Todd the Liar's creation out of my face.
I weep every night over the fact Chris Avellone will never be able to touch Fallout ever again.
But yeah, powered armour is pretty cool. I'd rather it not be on the same level of power as a giant robot, though. Maybe between that and regular augs.

Titan Armor sorta fits that role since it is Powered Armor and I think we can expect to see Titan armor or some sorta variant of it in XCOM 2. It would be cool though if power armor works the same way that it does in FO4 allowing for bigger, heavier guns and possibly some attachments like the Grenade/Proxy Launchers. Though I'm not sure how they could implement the Kinetic Fist unless we get MECs that work as remote controlled drones or advanced Shivs. Still the robot, none of the humanity inside.
I would much rather play a grey resistance than a sunshine and rainbows one.
Making it completely Black vs White will make it completely uninteresting.

Yeah, but there's no denying they're taking that route. A shame.
Honestly, they have to try hard as hell to justify sympathy for X-COM, which are basically terrorists.
Hopefully this kind of overt heroic fervor ties in letting xeno-recruits, possibly for saboteur purposes as a feature, which would really drive it home.
Shot down a UFO several dozen miles off the coast of Japan

Congratulations. Maybe if you took a toe's test into the internet aside here, you'd get some callus.
But anyway, yeah. Those swamplands in Japan, eh? Funny stuff.
Good thing the whole "uni-city" design ADVENT has brought kinda solves any sort of inaccuracy with architecture, given it's [i]THE FUTURE[/i], and all. Extra biomes sorta fixes the rest of it all, too.

Boy, you stop whining about overdone jokes, or you are going into the Depth of Nigerian Interior.
And you are not getting the warm coats when it starts snowing.

Good. I never liked those chickenshit outfits that much, anyway. V:v:V
So I've managed to somehow switch my mission camera into a different mode somehow so now instead of using the middle mouse button to pan around the camera and increase or decrease the zoom, it flings around the screen now like it's using acceleration and instead of zooming in and out it changes the floor level. It also seems locked to the top down view on the enemy turn.
Anyone know what I did to ruin my XCOM experience here?
