/xcg/ - XCOM General

Definitely expect casualties, but also know that near flawless missions are possible. If you really nail the game down you can clear most routine ufo sweeps with 0-2 casualties regularly. Don't forget to abuse smoke, it shortens/blocks LOS, so you can literally BREAK LOS on demand. This is insanely powerful because if the aliens don't see you on their turn the can't activate their kill switch and continue to use their patrol AI that just makes them wander around the map mostly aimlessly always ending their turn with approximately half their time units (for reaction fire).

>First for snek
You are a good man, one with exemplary taste.

Fuck that, WW1 stuff in Battlefield 1 when?

never ever
fuck EA
fuck DICE

>But it's historically accurate we won't put in female soldiers
And the French! Don't forget the French, I'm pretty sure they weren't involved in WWI either.

Women weren't in the draft, they shouldn't be in the games. Modern combat? Sure, whatever. They have some combat roles there... I think? Or at least in hazard zones. Not sure about how much they're actually put in live combat situations.

Wait, there's a battlefield general?

>It'll flop like a bag of bricks
I don't believe that for a second, regardless of my feelings on its interesting interpretation of "WWI."

Nope.
The only remains are the battlelog platoon(s), steam group, skype/discord/mumble circlejerks.
It's basically a reskin of battlefront.

Well fuck.

>interesting interpretation of "WWI."

>Bolt actions locked only to the scout class
Mother of fuck

We need messenger pigeons in XCOM

>It's basically a reskin of battlefront.
Are you implying that somehow won't sell well? I don't necessarily agree on that point, but even if that was true, the biggest downfall of battlefront was its horrible sales model and lack of content at the start. It still was a commercial success too.

People are gonna eat this up.

>People are gonna eat this up.
I don't doubt that, but it'll die within weeks after release, due to the fact it'll be bland as fuck, compared even to BF3 or 4

I don't want to play Piratez anymore after last night.

You'll be back...

...

What a handsome gentleman. Surely he'll be having a fine day today, free from terrorists thanks to the help of ADVENT.

The graffiti in this game is so good. I wonder if they add any for the expansion.

In a office like that they cant fix their shit in a day and a half? It's gotta be something thats not massive incompetence.
inb4 >we gave the intern his lunchbreak to set up our streaming computer and he broke it.

Those news can't come soon enough.

It's code for 'we just discovered a major bug and we can't show this shit live'

Yeah. I think XCOM 2 might have killed this place.

Xth for Vahlen wants the Archon King's nonexistent dick.

>XCOM 2
It was already dying once Long War 1.0 dropped. X2 gave it a reason to live and then resurrected it. Assuming Firaxis won't mess this up MECs should bring people back for a bit.

...

But... LW1.0 came out at the end of 2015, long after XCOM 2 was announced.

Might have to pull a /civ4xg/ and do a merger with another game or general to stay alive.

>>WW1 stuff in Battlefield 1

Even after all the stuff I was told in this thread, this remains quite too funny for me for some reason.

Yeah my bad, meant b15.

Don't be like that, not after I shared my snek folder with you guys

look fampai, we appreciate the dump but you're advocating treason

I was the one that masterminded and created the flagship thread of /stelciv4xg/
You underestimate my power

So, you're an evil shitbag, got it. are you cyclopsanon

but cyclopsanon isn't evil though

No, I'm an editfag and professional shitposter withno loyalties to any thread or board

I don't see the issue.

I guess I am

It really does.

Well what is it

'sup

What do you call a small ufo with 3 levels and 9 aliens?scout?

Cool ADVENT?

>3 levels
Doesn't sound like a scout to me. Not really sure what your describing. Is this from FMP or something? And does it look like a traditional x-com ufo.

FMP
An ufo that has a small level with the teleporter,then its the medium size ufo on the second level and a little command pod on top

A guy looking for names for his soldiers?

Maybe use our post numbers, that way we can celebrate when other anons die.

Should I move to Long War if I only completed XCOM on easy mode or complete EW on classic first?

wew lad. I'd work up to it. But hey, there's no harm in trying it on the easiest difficulty.

...

I've played it a bit. My only issue is that I run out of money too easily. Is it a bad idea to just farm for a while instead of advancing the story?

u know raccoon has 2 c's right

Thanks mate. Let us know how they die.

Pretty sure that's what you're supposed to do...

It is called Long Wang after all.

Sniper squad go!

...

Oblivious user got his first and probably last kill

Oh don't worry he'll get at least 6 more team kills with that rocket launcher.

Maybe,its 4 to 0 but still have to go inside the ship,hopefully more ayys come out

I'm going to make my partner (who introduced me to x-com originally) replay that terror mission to see how they do.

Now 7-0

Elijah Daniel died to a reaction shot accumulating a total of 0 kills during his career
