pistols are useful

Second for when the fuck is the expansion?

last two digit gives the days till it's announced

Maybe 6-8 months away.

How long did it take for EW to came out after EU again?

I'm want to come back to XCOM2 but I haven't played since before the DLCs came out.

I'm completely unspoiled on the DLCs, all I know is what's posted on their store pages.

Should my next campaign have both enabled or should I hit them one at a time?

>How long did it take for EW to came out after EU again?
13 months
Consoles are probably to blame in this case

Enable both, otherwise shit will get wack and you'll die instantly.

>>Consoles

I think you have a point there.

Anyone play Steam Squad?

...

It's High Noon.

No.

What is it?

tell me /xcg/, why can't I jump through this window?

Game must think that the laser windows are still there

Never heard of it

Collision didn't update.

Second time I've heard it mentioned. Care to give a brief synopsis, maybe some pros and cons?

>xth for Make Xcom Great Again

XCOM has always been Great.

Always.

I am surprise this isnt a mod yet

All joking aside it does fit in the theme of xcom being a guerrilla warfare rebel group then turning into a full blown world wide spec op.

If Bradford was replaced with Trump it wouldn't be unrealistic, although I guess it would have to be Trump jr since the meme man would be dead by the time of xcom 2

What if Trump is the Commander?

Fuck you're right
>capcha: greener visa

>XCOM 2 happening in a Trump timeline
Don't be silly. The US would be funding the XCOM project so hard and pumping in manpower like crazy; the alien invasion would be beat back in three months.

I know more about the aliens than all the generals, you don't even know. The president doesn't want to call it like it is, extraterrestrial terrorism and it's a problem, it's a problem. They would have you believe it's a mission of peace but I'm telling you what they don't want you to hear. We will stop this attack on our people believe me. XCOM is the greatest asset to the world and they want to stop funding it, why? I'm telling you we will fund it bigly okay. We will, you don't even know.

They want to build mega cities and move everyone in to control their narrative, they don't want you to know what's happening in their factories. I'm telling you we will plant XCOM bases all around the border, they won't be able to get in okay, believe me.

They want you to believe the media lies, they want you to think it's a mission of peace, they want you to be docile and politically correct. I say no, I want you to be free, I want you to be strong, I want to make America great again, I want to make the world great again, I want to make XCOM great again!

Parents go to advent clinic. Advent gives them new medications, parents change. TREASON. Many such cases.

>The missing texture on the computer screen in the bottom right

>>Beagle is actually updating his channel more regularly.

W-What is this sorcery?!

...

He's tired of people bugging him for more XCOM, so he's uploading the rest of his X2 series, which he's said multiple times that he's already recorded the end.

A game

New Bagle broos

As useful as pistols are, that looks a bit underpowered.

Good.

Looks like Soldiers:Heroes of WWII.

Jumping from LW to xcom 2, it's weird being back to knife range rifles having less than 100% acc. At least its no longer 65%.

actually thinking back on it vanilla hit chance was 65% before any range scaling; oh well

So if I overwatch from concealment and fire with the last guy, am I guaranteed to get the next turn, as long as everyone is in cover? Or are grenades the safer way to open concealment?

IT KEEPS HAPPENING GUYS

>RPK

As much as I enjoy another LMG
>E3245 will never finish porting Millenia's stuff
>my raifu, the CZ805 BREN will never be in the game

He probably burnt out with Millenia material and was going to take a break until Remastered satisfied his operator XCOM urges

Yeah, I know. Can't really blame him but god damn it that rifle needs to be in more games.

Yeah, I like rare rifles and assorted guns in my games.

I voted for the C96 Mauser but that doesn't look like it'll be showing up any time soon.

Note: If you're playing with the It's Just a Scratch mod, your robots won't be able to heal. I also just came back from a long time away and had to restart a save file I was doing super good in.

This dude keeps delivering the good stuff.

Is that still a problem for it's just scratch v2?

I'm not actually sure because I deleted my save out of rage. There's a mod in the workshop called It's just a Spark that apparently works, so that's what I've started my new run with.

If I'm not mistaken v2 came after It's Just a SPARK so it should work fine.

Thank you kind user. I'm still early so I'll restart with that mod just in case.

reminder: this is what happens to Lily if you fail the Avenger Defense.

Oh my god.

Those alien bastards put some sort of black cotton on her nipples!

...

>playing DOOM
>those sweet sweet guns

Oh my jesus yes.

.50 cal assault rifle muh dick

Which weapon mods do you guys like most

Reminder that port NEVER EVER

They finally figured out the textures?

LW SMG pack, LW Laser, Merc Plasma, Spart's kitbashes, E3245's ports, Halo weapons.

still working on it

Halo weapons/armor and Titanfall stuff.

Doom 64? Is that you?!

Sorry for stupid question but where can I see what buffs/debuffs my soldiers have during war? Also can I see their skills? You could do that with ? button in EW but I can't find it

I think you hover over something, the soldier's name, or something. Assuming you're talking about Xcom2, if not then i dunno.

F1 if talking about LW

hover on their on the left side of the screen
also i believe there will also be yellow squares showing the skills they got

Quick question, just installed the allies unknown mod for 2 but half my human units have the Mass Effect armours, and there's no way to get around this once you get to tier 2 armour, anyway to get around this?

Also is it just me or does the extra mission types mod makes things way easier? Getting a bunch of early free rookies every time you have a siege or rioting city mission takes a lot of challenge away. I'm thinking of putting in the additional dark events mod to balance it out

No ideas about the first one, but in the case of extra mission types. Getting one of those early in the game is cripplingly difficult to me, but that might just because i have about 60 other difficulty mods.

But when my first terror mission is a heaven siege, and i only have 6 rookies against 50 ayylmaos, it's fucking horrible.

>tfw I unironically liked s&a, ghalt, marquis, klesse, caldeus, oskar mike and rath.
>tfw decent characters get ruined by gearbox yet again.

I dont care how good borderlands 3 will be, i refuse to buy it.

>bigly
Still pissed people meme this so hard

He clearly said "big league", something he says pretty often

Why can't it be both? I prefer bigly because it pisses off liberals "intellectuals" who think it's not a word

Thaarrr bee willies undarr the sea, Cap'n!

Do I remember wrong or could you use capacitor discharge multiple times when you're playing as Lily? Why can't you do that when you're a regular specialist?

because hero units are better than regular units

So people who go blind and unprepared with balistics can still finish the mission

I don't remember Bradford being stronger than a regular Ranger though, was he?

>goes into battle kitted out with a gun with ALL THE ATTACHMENTS

He had a super gun and he was a master of CLOSE RANGE combat.

sniper rifle with drum mag, they dont make them like they used to

Lol, what a chode. I didn't know Piratez got underwater stuff, when did that happen?

I'm going to get sucked back into that game again, aren't I...

We got a fiddy cal, boys.
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=801685954

Hecate II is better

Since 0.99D. E has 0-G missions in orbit.

I kinda wish we got some WW1 and WW2 weapons and maybe some other crazy guns

So he's fed up with the series? I feel like he hasn't played nearly enough X2 for my taste.

Its that time,

xcom2 mods you wished existed

Some of the enemies changed cosmetically to look like metal arms enemies.
These guards would make great stun lancers

I want a B.P.R.D mod where you fight frogs.

he burnt out on XCOM pretty hard

It's unbelievable how long he played LW without pause, he's way past his expected burnout date.

dun

Anything that adds new enemy models

I can't believe someone hasn't done more ADVENT helmets for ABA guy to use, I fucking hate how two thirds of all ADVENT are the same fucking Commander model with a different light

Am I wrong or do Muton Elites from LW alien pack have lower chance to hit? Why the hell is that? This guys are fucking huge, they should have more health and more shield for defense not lower chance to hit

Should I even bother trying to finish a commander, ironman in X2? Tired of the shitty LOS allowing wacky shit

>>tfw decent characters get ruined by gearbox yet again.

How so? You don't like the Battleborn artwork style?

If you really want something which can shoot twice a turn to have higher chance to hit, go right ahead and edit the inis

Gearboxes marketing, pr, financial choices, constantly forcing political agendas when its not needed, forced memespouting.

Thank god it was censored, otherwise I would have been offended.

Any class mod recommendations except for the 4 ones in the OP? Also anyone play with no vanilla classes? How is it?

>>marketing, pr, financial choices

That's more 2k fault. See Evolve for a quick reference.

>>constantly forcing political agendas when its not needed, forced memespouting.

Is not as bad as some videos make it look but, yeah, that was completely unnecessary an hurt them badly in the end.

Newfag here.

How much does XCOM2 benefit from a SSD? Are the loading times bad?

give me bionicles
