I'm retarded and fucked up the OP, either refer to or make a new, proper thread
Sorry, guys!
Connor Smith
>tfw you're the only professional soldier
Christian Fisher
I'm trying to skullmine an officer to hack and draw out a codex but instead of hacking it kills him instead. Savescummed a few times but he dies every time Am I doing something wrong ?
James Price
pistols are useful
Camden Roberts
>dress up your gremlin as a tie-fighter >vaguely professional c'mon son
don't worry user you got the gist of it
Xavier Jenkins
You have to skulljack for missions not skullmine
Owen Morris
I meant SAS dude
Tie Fighter is middle aged Eggsalt lawyer's thing

James Diaz
operation name is fitting for the first retaliation with sectopods
went strangely well, though. Haywire protocol is retardedly overpowered
Henry Ward
For some reason I think that when fighting aliens that have plasma/magnetic weaponry wearing kevlar is unprofessional.
The most professional ones there are probably far left and the robutt.
David Lopez
>October >have only seen ONE +20 hacking reward
Connor Anderson
me too, but you don't need to worry
skulljack + gremlin mark III will boost it up quite a nice amount, you'll probably won't be controlling all sectopods but you can stun them for 2 turns
Carter Bennett
Mod for a suicide vest when? I want to strap my poor Rks with shit tons of explosives and chuck them at hard targets in a last ditch attempt to salvage the mission.
Henry Taylor
Refer to , it's late as fuck and I'm a bit drowzy. Sorry.
Parker Flores
Stun's still a 50% for me.
Jacob Scott
Beagle sentenced for war-crimes post invasion when?
>the winners >ever being put on trial for war crimes
Juan Cox
Already is one user. Commanders vest or something.
Easton Butler
>First time playing the DLC, take the Spark mission as soon as it becomes available >Playing the Spark mission, getting through alright, glad I brought along my combat hacker specialist. Glad to finally get through the turret area >final area throws a fucking sectopod and infinitely respawning mookbots at you while I still have bullet weapons anything I should know about the other dlc mission before I inevitably attempt it the moment it becomes available
Carter Martin

Blake Thomas
>tfw coydex recruit
Easton Harris
yes
don't do it until you've got mag weapons
it's doable with ballistics but you'll want to rip off off your dick from the root with a hot wrench that's tied to the dick of a horse in heat that has in front of him prime and hot horse pussy ready to be penetrated
Lincoln Stewart
>implying any of those give the war criminals anything harder than a slap on the wrist (if and only if the crime becomes public)
Luke Bailey
I would've had mag weapons going into this robot factory but I hadn't uncovered any alien alloys yet reee
thankfully managed to come out with only one man gravely injured because I got two shutdowns on Julian's sectopod but I am pretty sure one or two more enemy turns would've wiped me
Noah Baker

Isaac Ward
It's OK dude.
Learning takes time.

I will never understand why people like sneyyk waifus
Codex waifus are truly superior
Ayden Perez
>united states aerospace force >xcom logo
xcom is a private military group though
William Anderson
I guarantee you I've been a regular for longer than you, airgamefriend. Been here for long enough to remember when you only dropped in once in a blue moon to make a shitty OP and people were actually getting pissed off because your threads were terrible and you missed all requests to update it, sparking the most unnecessary piece of general drama /xcg/ has seen.
OPs are far from the most important thing in the world, and extremely difficult to fuck up. I just happen to have been awake for like 40 hours, so joke's on me
Bentley Nelson
I miss when we talked more about Xenonauts and X-COM
Landon Jackson
X-Piratez was hot shit for a while recently
Nathaniel Gray
>dressing my soldiers up like cheap whores Send help
Connor Barnes
That's some real projection going
Jason Barnes
...
Anthony Mitchell
What did she mean by this? I'm not projecting, I'm dressing them in skimpy outfits with heavy eyeshadow for the purpose of giving me an erection during my tactical missions.
Jordan Cox
Is that fun? Like most mods on that site it looks like autistic shit.
Aaron Smith
>autistic shit. How would define this
Isaac Brooks
Holy shit, you don't even know. It's better than the original game. Way more options, way more depth. Like the good parts of LW people mention.
Been meaning to start a new campaign with the latest version but I don't want my life to be consumed until christmas vacation
Parker Carter
Just a joke m8
Jason Price

Jordan Morris
Content for the sake of content Combining all existant mods into a super mod Aesthetic inconsistency Insanely Overpowered things
Those are my main gripes about most mods
Maybe I'll check it out after I'm done with awesome guns. It's much more tactically deep and well balanced than the core game
Samuel Nelson
>Content for the sake of content >Combining all existant mods into a super mod >Aesthetic inconsistency >Insanely Overpowered things FMP in a nutshell
Dominic Hernandez
>Those are my main gripes about most mods Than your in luck I would say. It was a mod made to deliver a very different gameplay experience, both on the tactical and strategic level, with it's own unique story/lore, mechanics, and strategy. Definitely a complete overhaul.
Gavin Gutierrez
The only REAL way to execute an Alien Ruler is by decapitation.
Luke James
Yeah I'm watching meridians letsplay rn and it looks pretty neat.
Parker Peterson
>Decide to send B-team on Dark VIP mission so I don't have to wait for my A-team to recover >Pod surrounding VIP is 3 Long Dong sneks >Sniper kills largest first >Overwatch doesn't activate for the other 2 because ??? >Archon pod shows up, somehow destroys the floor underneath 2 of the roof watchers >They burn, one panics and shoots the VIP for nearly all of her health >MEC and officer pod roll up from next to evac, sniper gets overwatched, panics, and kills the VIP
THAT'S
David Flores
Samewith the hardmode expansion and EXE. I don't actually know the difference between these three mods.
Mason Robinson
XCOM
Lincoln Carter
I'm looking forward too when XenoOps is close too finished up. Seems like a way more focused experience.
Benjamin Perez
Nice pic
Chase Torres
That wizard looks angry
Christian Evans
I wish dismemberment was possible. Cutting off ADVENT heads, snake tails, Sectoid glutes... Good times.
Oliver Hill
>activate first pod >weaken the Archon before realizing I can just Dominate him >immediately run him up to the objective relay with blazing pinions and trigger every last pod on the map in one turn >he starts murdering civvies with his Blazing Pinions but hey, it's an Alien and not me :^) >he somehow evade tanks until the very end where he gets poisoned and dies with one enemy left alive >I somehow manage to lay proper Overwatch fire and shred everything on the map That went better than expected.
Carter Russell
This wizard looks happy.
John Sullivan
i miss arma beagle
Logan Moore
He's dead. We're NEVER getting a happy, joyful Beagle back. All we have now is depressed, shackled, punished Beagle who shits out Xcom like his life depends on it because it DOES, because he was severely beaten by his captors when he failed to produce videos for a few months.
Benjamin Miller
>December >0 (Zero) +20 hacking Just trample me with a sectopod already
David Nelson
This is fine
Colton Ortiz
He seems to do better recently, I'm happy for him. His Civ streams are actually pretty darn funny too.
Christopher Lopez

Adrian Davis
>you will never be this happy
Christopher Ortiz
>tfw never gotten accepted to shacktack
Any old /a3g/ here?
Ethan Watson
Why not user
Xavier Cook
you aint missing nothing, son
Christian Johnson
Because they get so many applicants they can't accept them all. After /a3g/ dead I went with the official sponsor of acre2 I think server which was alright, a bit too anal on some things but a fun group overall, and also the cooler server (a fun group and more able to take that perfect balance of relaxed but also milsim. Other one was too but they could get a bit more strict which was to be expected with their server size).
Or it was the official ace one, I forget. Both were fun but it sounded like Shacktack had the super big stuff
Christian Morris
Mid-december and no Andromedon Corpse It's an abstract kind of EVAC
Jeremiah Campbell
Do they still play?
>tfw I wasted $30 on A3 and never play it
Brayden Cooper
the group is still active, yes
Sebastian Barnes
/a3g/ is now al-kibab. Cooler server is active and averages 20-30 or sometimes 40 people every saturday. The one I forget the name of is also active. Lots of arma 3 groups are pretty active
Also dumb snake niggers that get to spit acid and try and grab on the same turn fuck you snakes
Owen Diaz
I'll probably pick up 2 over christmas sale. Is there any major difference i need to know going into 2?
Connor Myers
Do you keep using camo when you hit power armor?
It just looks silly I think
Kayden Sullivan
I think it looks great personally, but I don't camo according to biome anymore at power armor. I just go with a gray/black finish or olive drab whereas during kevlar I might have separate uniforms for day/night in arid/temperate/arctic/urban missions
Charles Roberts
what mod is the band-aided face?
Dominic Harris
I think the powered armor looks dumb in general so I just stick to the predator/kevlar armor look.
Leo Barnes
Really? Predator's the dumbest imo, by a large margin
Andrew Hughes
I respect that, I just like the simplicity of it.
Gavin Wright
I just activated a sectopod pod mid-turn while fighting reinforcements and I have to say, the meme beacon meme is real.
Luke Perez
Timers, gotta go fast, dlc is for challenge not for fair, conceal is the best, snipers got kicked in the dick, modding is amazing, psi is very strong, sparks (mecs) are weak, always prioritize avatar progress.
Colton Thomas
>it's a "End up playing highly irregular music to fighting Advent in a rainy dystopian ghetto street" episode >youtube.com/watch?v=iwDDswGsJ60
Hunter Jenkins
How?
Joshua Walker
With Grim's armor pack, I guess.
Caleb Wood
>dlc is for challenge not for fair Only true for Alien Hunters and even then it's exaggerated a lot. Shen's Last Gift is a great and most importantly fair mission, if a little challenging
>snipers got kicked in the dick Only if you refuse to spec them as gunslingers
Rest is 100% correct
Michael Taylor
>Only if you refuse to spec them as gunslingers still kicked in the dick, X2 are not nearly in the same league as X1 snipers.
>Only true for Alien Hunters and even then it's exaggerated a lot. Shen's Last Gift is a great and most importantly fair mission, if a little challenging They are still for challenge. but yeah I'm exaggerating a bit it's more that I don't recommend them for a first play-through is my main stance. I also don't think dlc has to be fair and I think people who whine that it isn't are using a fundamentally flawed criticism because there is nothing that says anything in xcom needs to be "fair."
Jeremiah Harris
X1 snipers were broken as fuck though. It's fair.
Isaac Ramirez
Eh, I think the sniping part of markmen in X2 got hit too hard. The timers were already a big enough hit, adding aim penalties for shooting at longer ranges is just over the top.
Angel Butler
>5th mission in new playthrough has a viper, 2x stun lancer pod >miss 3/4 overwatch shots Nope. Nope. Nope.
Colton Martinez
>overwatch Tis but a meme
Alexander Gutierrez
fuck collaborators
Josiah Mitchell
I think I have a cursed medkit. Every time I equip someone with it they get sniped by a sectoid from across the map, lost 3 guys like this
Michael Gomez
>Tfw LW perks snipers
Juan Adams
Should I, /xcg/?
He probably does not have a choice. Those civilians were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The future of humanity depends on this, maybe. What are three lives, against billions? His actions are justified.
Will these thoughts help him sleep at night?
Logan Parker
dont give the order commander if we are no better than advent then this whole war is pointless
Landon Baker
It will all be a blur. If he survives the war he'll need some counseling at worst. Also Collaborators aren't people.
Leo Phillips
Suffer not the faceless to live. Take the shot. VIGILO CONFIDO
