Swords are useful

But rapid firing scouts are more useful.

Third for air game revival

>air game

Hey, what's this?

Mod to ditch psi troops and bring back the psi subclass when?

Gets it.

Here for anyone wanting to make Sparks great again. To my knowledge these mods are all compatible, if you use them all together they might be a little too great though

As it is, that looks like something out of a scary machinima episode.

Titans are almost here.

I want to like Alex Jones' sweaty face.

About 10 years probably, i'm going as fast as i can, but as fast as i can has been pretty slow lately.

...

Pistols and long pink hair are Useful.

I'm a Human

What's it like being a manchild?

RRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Someone please tell me how I change my controls to controller mode I can't see any tickbox or anything in interface

nth for breaking the conditioning

we're comin for ya ADVENT

...

youtube.com/watch?v=p2-4rJmYEfU

do you think somewhere in the resistance there's an Alex Jones tier crazy bastard who rants about ADVENT control on the resistance radio

hell that's probably what Bradford does these days

>no tits

>implying sneks arent flat

But snaketits...

its an advent lie im sorry

>Shinobi gets nickname
>it's Ripper
>proceed to turn him into Tim Owens
One of these days I'll learn to take the game seriously

W-what do you mean?

they are engineered to make you submissive

>2 pods right off the bat
>elite officer/elite shieldbearer
>archon/elite trooper/elite lancer
>archon pod clusters behind tree & COMPLETELY BLOCKS LOS on their first move
>put everyone on overwatch & 'nade the officer pod
>officer pod dies to overwatch
>archon pod flinches, activates my trap card
>guardian specialist takes 4 fucking shots
That was operator as fuck guys, well done.

Why is ruler reaction so unfair?

Because your troops movement triggers it. If you get caught in a shitty position you are fucked.

Because you need to git gud

How does /xcg/ theme its psy-ops?

What I've got-
>Yakuza with kabuki paint, eyes went red & tats glow purple
>White-haired/purple-eyed tight-ass jewess
>Black scotsman that sprouted stark rose-blond shoots & blue eyes

Demon, Wraith, Werewolf respectively.

Because you're bad at moving your troops through good positions in between encounters.

First thing to come to mind.

Last time it was bitter rookie who didn't see action for a bit too long and Croat operator.

Twitchy or intense, otherwise anything goes.

for a second there i read psy-ops as psychological warfare and though you just yelling at ayys with a megaphone

Fuck not rose-blonde, apparently it's 'strawberry'. Guy's da was a scot, he's got his hair.

No by-the-book?

Reach EVA Skull helmet, visor color depending on how many kills they have
Pic related for color scheme

Forgot to mention, they're all Finns
Gotta have them meme magics

Do ayys even know what a daily dose is?
Also, way to forget the spoiler, fag.

thanks doc

Operators. They're all just varying degrees of operators. I think I have a problem. Send help

I fucking swear I clicked it

...

Psions are unique in that they have mind powers to explain away bullshit.
They don't need helmets/camo if they've got reality-warping magic. See Fortress.

What kind of controller are you using?

Soldiers that don't throw like retards mod when?
>literally CAN'T lob a grenade off the roof unless you're hugging the goddamn edge

Can someone upload the most recent weapon mods into the mega?

Guess the mission type and win a fabulous prize

Landed transport in first month?

I'm going with Portent here. Keep Ziggy alive my man

Nope

>Portent
I think you are on the right track

>Titans

TITANS NOW

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=812942004

I was just about to hit the sack you son of a bitch.

BASED

I love you uncle gunman

You are the best

LEAVE HUMANITY BEHIND 12 SPARK TEAM NOW

Awesome.

WOOOOOO

Purple everyday. Purple everytime. Purple all the way.

ABSOLUTELY BASED

>>guardian specialist takes 4 fucking shots

Not bad. What weapons mods/upgrades does he has?

>latest bagels video
>4U
>CREED

All these references.
It's perfect.

>titans
>not Gurren Lagann
>not gundams
>not Evas
>not mech warrior mechs

>tfw

For fuck's sake Pokemon got dark rather abruptly

Are there high quality models for mechs?

evas pulling out their box cutters

>tfw snek acids your soldiers through a wall ,wich causes panic,wich causes the soldier to charge out and get sniped by an advent sniper.

THE fuck is going on here

Superior scope/advanced clip, plus the height bonus & the specialist GTS perk.
Nothing fancy, just luck.

>Codex uses her warp shit
>Move troopers out of there, as usual
>End of the turn
>Realize there's a civilian in there that hasn't moved
>Only guy left is at 6 health & would have to sprint to make it
>Bitch could be a faceless
>You bet your goddamn ass I saved her life anyway
That's XCOM baby.
30 days in the infirmary

NO, NOT LIKE THIS

I wish civ bodies stayed on the battlefield. It's weird when they disappear

It's also fucking weird when they scream but at the same time say a death quote that doesn't sound like they're in pain, c'mon Jake you can do better than that

Sorry, had to fix the spoiler.

You can't just savescum on Veeky Forums

Is it part of the slingshot stuff?
>graveyard full of thin men

Watch me.

No, but still on the right track. You are thinking a bit too specific.

>the answer was terror mission all along
that or the exalt base

Now you are getting colder

>holla holla get $
>Me and fucking Mark Rutzou
>doritos replay of the day
>ciaphas cain

Beagle, you're perfect. Never change.

>not portent
>not a terror mission
>not anything form slingshot
>not exalt based
Do you have to get down here and not let him have all the fun?

f-fuck

I really didn't think this would be so hard.

Why would you need so many medkits for the dorn mission?

... landed ufo?

I like those mechas too but you have to admit that the Titans from Titanfall are quite a great match for XCOM.

Add that high vibration sound when deployed and when cutting something and you have a killer set.

Can you provide models of roughly the right scale then?

Titans are easy because they're roughly analagous to SPARKS in proportion, the rest of the things listed aren't really.

Dark Hippy shades, Bald if male, white tumblr sidecut if female, Purple everywhere.

Glad to see beagle uploading again. Can't be many xcom 2 vids left will he be uploading more war within once he's done?

he came by a while ago asking opinions and shit

he is finishing this campaign and then moving onto a modded experience first thing changed is the complete removal of concealment

im pretty interested to see though that goes if i say so myself

>/v/ at it again

Reminder this is why Xcom2 isn't LW2, fuckers can't even deal with rulers

>baaaaaw why are rulers unfair

Filthy fucking casuals.

Sectopods are cute,CUTE.

>IF YOU MISS ONE SHOT YOU LOSE THE ENTIRE MISSION NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

think about this:

-these people were playing vanilla XCOM 2
-they weren't playing Long-War style with grenade damage falloff and buffed ADVENT/pod sizes
-they likely weren't even playing legendary

I'll be the first to admit, rulers did make the game more difficult overall, they're absolute bastards.
but that's gotta be the whiniest thread I've seen in a while, there's legitimate criticisms, but then there's straight up bitching about being shit.

Sectopods are scum! Kill all Sectopods!
