They are supposed to be a boss unit, and are "balanced" as such. Also meant for "experienced" players and not someones first play-through.

It is the right thing to do

Is there a happy midpoint between the endless overwatch-spam of EU and the alpha-strike-or-bust hyper-power creep of XCOM2? Do any mods help with either?

EW

Why would you want that?

I played around 20 minuets of Valkyria Chronicles and one of the main characters said "I don't want war to just be about killing people"

>alt f4

X2 with more pods and larger pods, and extended or True Concealment-style timers.

>one of the main characters said "I don't want war to just be about killing people"
Is this supposed to be bizarre or unbelievable?

Is there any downside to killing Dark VIPs rather than capturing them?

I've never killed one, now that I think of it.

No Intel

You don't get the intel reward

In a strategy game, absolutely.

Especially since elimination of enemy personnel was literally the objective of the mission that game right before that line.

>human characters in a strategy game
I suppose that would be going to far

I wonder what happened to Delta two in canon

I have an X2 soldier based on him

Who is the best AYY/ADVENT to Dominate?

I nominate Shieldbearer.

>Can shield team from Alien ruler bullshit
>Can stand him out of cover like a tankier mimic beacon.

I can't think of an AYY more useful

He had a hard life.

post more hard life operators!

Playing long schlong, there's a weird glitch that keeps occurring ,it starts fine but 3 or 4 missions in using grenades or firing will cause a CTD
Loading a previous save fixes it , but soon as I get to the current mission it starts again
Playing dynamic with a bunch of other options in

Why do people put that radio effect in voice packs? It drops the quality of them significantly imo

>radio effect in voice packs
So that it sounds like the voices are coming through a radio? It also makes a bunch of voices (modded and vanilla) mix together better and not be at odds with each other.

man reshade makes those burns look a whole lot worse

So somewhere along the way I got 6 superior repeaters, and I just unlocked "armed to the teeth" for the third weapon slot.

How good really would +15% chance on EVERYONE be to execute on every one of my troops.

Very good, repeaters are excellent.

Are there any good youtube playthrouhs I can look into? I've been trying to get the motivation to pick up X2 again.

No ones imported TF2 models yet ?
Killing ayys with heavy and soy would be the shit

Are all male republican tv personalities fat?

Someone ported models and left it at that.

No animations so they're permanently stuck in that T-pose

its an aesthetic my man

That comes down to me making her skin as pale as humanely possible because I like when it sticks out like that rather than the ReShade tbqh

>this fucking guy

yeesh

I just want to play some cozy-ass XCOM man, why the fuck did I sign up for this other shit

/blogpost

i took them down without significant injuries on my first commander playthrough since the dlc went live, before that i had a long break.
imo above all else i was extremely lucky to always battle scan them somewhere in the fow and i still had the freedom of no active pods(tm) to overwatch trap them hard.
Another thing that prolly helped was me delaying the vahlen missions until t3 armor and weapons, so i guess i had an advantage in firepower too.

But still, the fucking reactions after EVERY SINGLE MOVE is bretty goddamn annoying. Fucking cheating ayys

Proper Nep rips when? I need Neptune in my A-Team

nepcom is bestcom

i think marbozir has a whole compilation video of several minutes of repeater shenanigans

>tfw the modder working on body ports has gone quiet

>/xcg/ is always half awake

Ports, putting models from other games is ports
Rips is putting the models off the game

Why limit it to just that, they'd so much more out there.

[MUFFLED AYY INTENSIFIES]

A lot of modders have gone quiet now.

Must be Christmas

Living by the Hit % does weird things to you.

IT GOT BETTER

are theyever happy

AND BETTER

[angry Commander noises]

I have a few happy operators, yeah

I just bought the game and found out that psi operatives need to be rookies

how am i supposed to even play now

Enjoy your free psi-gods? They only take time, they don't need experience.

Voloshin is happy when he's murdering ayys, and when he's knocking back vodka in the bar with his old comrades. His father (another soldier who rolled the same last name) was with him in my LW campaign, but died in the 20 years since.

well thats good gotta have dudes like that even out the doom and gloom
damn did you write up a neat bio for them
also whos this dude and why are they upset?

"Are you sure you should be smoking your cigars here?"

"Doc put you up to this, didn't he?"

>also whos this dude
>whos this due
>whos this

I'm a writefag, so yeah. Had a backstory for them in LW, then wrote up a little thing about them forming a militia in Russia after the fall of XCOM.

must have missed this

>well thats good gotta have dudes like that even out the doom and gloom
Ayye, but Bradford's taking it a bit too far. Look at that smug piece of shit. PEOPLE ARE DYING, JOHN

>who's this dude
Part of the /xcg/ pantheon. I don't have the story image, but I'm sure somebody else does

Superior image quality 1440p represent

...

nicely done giving a campaign some flavor is always fun.
damn he is smug

What are advent burgers made of?

that burger has nothing on it leave it to snakes to have shit taste

I can't help BUT add flavor to my campaigns, it's a compulsion. I have a character pool with about 40 soldiers, all with their own detailed and intersecting backstories in the bios. I've considered putting it up for download, but it feels sort of like a hobo's attempt at "modding".

up to you man i just like seeing peoples operatives

I just found out she's been in my barracks since the beginning.
Benched her without a glance due to the purple hair.
Fuck

>she's got the 'cheerful' disposition

Which?
Negative-nancy or the dick-suckers?

>2004
>Ranking officer in XCOM
something's not adding up

it's canon that XCOM employed child soldiers to combat the alien threat

...

Baglru in ten-ish hours maybe

Is there a somewhat balanced mod that adds an infantry class to xcom 2?

I like assault rifles
but I don't like specialists

Le YES

What is the best mission type and why is it eliminate target? (Capture or kill enemy vip)

>killing collaborators
That's why.

Also captcha was "Poste Julian", what's that dick doing here?

DO NOT BELIEVE THIS POSTER, I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY HE IS A ROBOT AND NOT A HUMAN

Never usually edit backstories but I always go in and change the birthdate for my LW survivors. I'm Surprised Firaxis let it slip through.

>go to capture the vip
>move sniper up onto the roof the vip is under
>oh shit I activated 2 sectoids and a viper like a retard
>better use the fire bombs

And that is how I burned the dark VIP to death without ever seeing what he looked like

the removed testicles of everyone who tries copping a feel from sneks
