[QUOTE=Ax3l;50676745]Welcome to the infamous game breaker glitch. When I had that glitch every single mission after it had all the aliens just stand there and take it until you restart the game.[/QUOTE]
It's a glitch? I had it happen to me on the viper lair where I had Bradford, plus RahkshiLord with Bowcaster + Superior Extended Mag + all overwatch perks. I kinda assumed it was just the aliens collectively shitting themselves out of fear.
[QUOTE=CGNick;50675895]And the last 10% are kinda all over the place. It feels like only 2-3 of all these skills are somewhat original and sound decent at the same time, and the rest are just mind boggling. Like this one "[B]Commisar - Pistol shots against allies who have been mind-controlled by enemies have +50 to hit, cannot be dodged, and automatically kill the target if a hit occurs.[/B]" Why on earth would I take this? Am I misunderstanding something here? It's basically advocating bad-play, where you'd kill the person who is MCed instead of the MCer.[/QUOTE]
Its just a 40K/IG reference for roleplayers. I doubt it was meant to be taken seriously.
I know plenty of people who are still waiting for their 40K overhaul that may never happen
I really need to ask someone to try and make touch screen controls for X2. Playing it on a touchscreen laptop isn't too great, honestly, mostly because it needs double-tap to even recognize that I want that button to be selected and then double-tap it again to actually use it. Un-highlighting that button is done by swiping away from it and sometimes it would go to previous menu instead. Avenger isn't fit for touch screens at all :saddowns: The game itself is also all about double-tapping everything. Maybe soon enough Firaxis will release touch-screen setting like Civ V does...and EW.
VIP mission comes up, as it does, this time to capture a dark VIP. With half of my A-team injured and two thirds of the rest otherwise occupied, it's up to Cpt. van der Linde to lead the B-team to victory.
Entry is easy enough. Two pods; Officer and Stun Lancer, Muton and two Sectoids. They are defeated in two turns, with no injuries taken. Moving in, the VIP is spotted two turns later. The evac is on top of the building, so this should be easy.
Key word: Should. The Aliens have other plans. As I move Thin Man closer to see what's ahead, I am given a good lowdown: two very angry pods of Mutons, Lancers, Troopers, and a Shieldbearer. Uh oh.
With 5 turns to go I am forced to entrench and prepare for the oncoming assault, and a reinforcement pod with a MEC pops in for a spot of killing the shit out of my men as well. Not to be deterred, I throw man after man through hails of overwatch fire to the EVAC, and all make it alive (but not necessarily well).
With three turns left, Cpt. van der Linde is two turns away from the evac but alone against 9 aliens. I use the first turn to have her run to the roof, where she is engaged by an Officer and a Trooper, both missing, and the MEC jumps up to join her. With the second turn, I run her as close to the evac as possible. She isn't there, but she's in full cover. Three men take shots at her and miss, and the rest go into overwatch. One muton decides to suppress her. At this point, I'm laughing manically.
She has shadowstep. Free to move as she sees fit, she runs straight to the evac on the final turn, flipping off the aliens as she ascends the rope to freedom.

[I]Get fucked, Aliens.[/I]
[QUOTE=CGNick;50675961]But it says pistol shots against allies. Basically if a soldier of yours gets MCed by a Sectoid, you can insta-kill the soldier with this pistol shot. At least that's what I'm getting out of this.[/QUOTE]

I bet it's just some 40K fan who thought it was funny.
If they DID turn it around so you could execute MC'd enemies it would be a pretty nifty thing to have.

Or better still, if it actually took notes from Dawn of War and gave all your other soldiers a combat boost for the rest of the mission.
Found this cool mod

[QUOTE=bloboo;50677924]I learned the mod "It's just a scratch" fucks up spark repairs. If you use that mod, replace it with "Its just a Spark"[/QUOTE]
I don't have that mod. :(
I don't understand what might be interfering, either. I put it in the slot in Shen's workshop to be repaired and leave it there, but when I want to use it, it's health doesn't return.

I didn't know faceless spawned in pods of 2
I must be crazy or stupid because I'm trying to use the LW mods but I don't see the toolbox menu.
I was doing my guardscom stream today and sent 8 guys on a suicide mission (complete suicide). The last man alive was mind controlled and pistol executed the only other survivor. I think I need to rescue him from the Advent, then execute him for killing his own men.
For some reason my game glitched out and my only sniper is equipped with an Xpad, like the hacking one. It won't let me change his weapon at all. I suspect the SPARK upgrades mode might've broken him.

Please tell me we're gonna have full on gundams by the end of the year.
Would also love to see some Battletech/Mechwarrior mechs too
Looks like someone else ported the P90 from Battlefield 3.

I think he had to do that to avoid the hovering hand problem that I encountered with the Uzi 9mm and the MAC10. That is what's stopping me from porting other SMGs, unless someone can make a new animation where the soldier holds it in one hand like Big Boss in MGSV:

I'm still waiting on someone to port a Mateba replacement for the revolver. You need a little style when shooting aliens, y'know? Also, I decided to try and sketch up an icon based around the XCOM logo, thoughts?

It definitely looks XCOM inspired but what does the Latin mean?
I think I could live without the LWS perk pack. I have no idea what's going on with my soldiers, I'll push on to see how it goes but I might turn it off.

Whats the latin say?
I want to tell a quick story I just witnessed.
I had positioned everyone to storm the hallway when two mutons and a Andromedon walked out on one end.
[img_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/AwrwUS.jpg[/img_thumb]
I was able to shred their armor and kill one with the snipers far away with pistols, and another with lightning hands.
[img_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/XWeRGw.jpg[/img_thumb]
Then came the andromedon who was slightly wounded, the sniper shot and critical hit! But since it was my first Andromedon he of course rose up again.
The only thing left was a ranger with Run and Gun, he dashed, shot critical hit but no cigar.
The Andromedon walked up to the first soldier and attacked... Missed!
But the sniper also had Return Fire and shot it.
All in a turns work.
I feel like if you do enough damage to an Andromedon, it should be destroyed completely instead of resurrected.

Drastic Measures. It's for the mod I'm working on when I'm bored.
Guys, I've updated the AK47 to include a underfolded stock, as a stock upgrade.

Yeah, there should at least be a way that provides a chance to foil it, like using explosives on the killing blow or somthing.
