XCOM V3: Hyphens are SO last decade

[QUOTE=Tea Guy;48271622]I can't view that xcom page about the new alien?

It takes me to an age gate and then just redirects me to the main site with nothing about the new muton on it....[/QUOTE]
slightly better than what I'm getting

"Lieutenant 2 McCafferty has beer"

Yeah after that I don't blame him.

[A B.A. Survivor]

Urgh, the XCOM website won't load for me, and I can't see those pictures, either.

Let's not forget that Salminem has been pro on that mission.

[Kommodore]

it looks like they took the article down?

Just did another terror mission in my XCOM FP Campaign. Happy to report no casualties and 11/18 civvies saved!

[QUOTE=richard9311;48270210]I'm catching up on beagle rush vods on twitch. I'm an hour and a half into the base assault.

I just know this is going to end terribly. It's really hard to continue when more and more aliens just show up and keep wrecking his shit.

God this is like watching a car crash in slow motion. I'm not sure if I should just skip to the end or continue to watch the bodies pile up.[/QUOTE]

Holy fuck. I'm glad beagle played it straight to the end, but that was such bullshit. At least he got that one berserker at the end.

If the last mission is more bullshit than the base defense, though, he's fucked.

did anyone save the pics?

Here's some shitty resized version from when I sent them to some people in a Mumble channel

I like those retro matte-chrome curves on the gun, and the blade of course

i was just reading an old interview and and apparently overwatch will get taken sequentially in 2, which means your entire squad won't blow their overwatch on something that died to the "first" shot. instead it's going to be taken one at a time by order of proximity - a welcome change, also a pretty big buff

I noticed that in the gameplay trailer, where they snuck three troops up to three ADVENT. Two went into overwatch, one shot the guy in the middle, and the overwatch dealt with the others.

I can't wait to see how Chryssalids look in XCOM 2(if they even are in it), floaters too

This is the biggest change I'm excited for in XCOM 2. It was always annoying trying to lead a pod into an ambush just to have one dude draw the fire of all of my men and watch him take like 40 damage when he has 4.

Damn, that actually looks even better than the gameplay posted a few weeks ago. Hoping that's what the game actually looks like without shitty video compression and not just glamour shots at work, that'd be fantabulous.

What the hell is up with that neck?!?

I do like it though. Very intimidating and the gun looks pretty cool too.

So the aliens are actually the locust horde eh, gonna have to create a delta squad comprised of musclemen to fight them off

Fucking finally, course they programmed the enemy AI to use drones to clear out overwatch to exploit [U]exactly[/U] that game mechanic in EW/EU.

funny, because your squad in gears of war is delta squad as well.

Everyone is named Carmine.

I really can't wait for modding, I desperately want to make something that means you can direct Overwatch. The new news on it is welcome, but I'd love to designate things like doors (probably using a sphere of influence) for specific Overwatch, so that you don't end up wasting your Overwatch on some Pectoids when there's a Viper hiding around the corner that's a much bigger priority to take down quickly.

Love it.

Maybe even do it live, and direct fire during that 5-30 second window of slow-motion action you get during Overwatch. It'd be some fun micro to break up the slow tactical pace.

God, I forgot how shit Mutons in original X-COM look

[img]http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/2942/380845-muton_alive.png[/img]

They looked like a wrestler in green spandex with a purple face.

I'm hoping someone goes all out and makes a Valkyria Chronicles style mod in XCOM 2.
