wew lad boy gent

operation name is fitting for the first retaliation with sectopods

went strangely well, though. Haywire protocol is retardedly overpowered

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.

>October
>have only seen ONE +20 hacking reward

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

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.

Refer to , it's late as fuck and I'm a bit drowzy. Sorry.

Stun's still a 50% for me.

Beagle sentenced for war-crimes post invasion when?

Already is one user. Commanders vest or something.

>tfw coydex recruit

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

>implying any of those give the war criminals anything harder than a slap on the wrist (if and only if the crime becomes public)

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

>there are ayy sympathizers in this very thread

It's OK dude.

Learning takes time.

I will never understand why people like sneyyk waifus

Codex waifus are truly superior

>united states aerospace force
>xcom logo

xcom is a private military group though

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

I miss when we talked more about Xenonauts and X-COM

X-Piratez was hot shit for a while recently

>dressing my soldiers up like cheap whores
Send help

That's some real projection going

...

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.

Is that fun? Like most mods on that site it looks like autistic shit.

>autistic shit.
How would define this

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

Just a joke m8

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

>Content for the sake of content

FMP in a nutshell

>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.

The only REAL way to execute an Alien Ruler is by decapitation.

Yeah I'm watching meridians letsplay rn and it looks pretty neat.

>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

Samewith the hardmode expansion and EXE. I don't actually know the difference between these three mods.

XCOM

I'm looking forward too when XenoOps is close too finished up. Seems like a way more focused experience.

Nice pic

That wizard looks angry

I wish dismemberment was possible. Cutting off ADVENT heads, snake tails, Sectoid glutes... Good times.

>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.

This wizard looks happy.

i miss arma beagle

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.

>December
>0 (Zero) +20 hacking
Just trample me with a sectopod already

This is fine

He seems to do better recently, I'm happy for him. His Civ streams are actually pretty darn funny too.

>you will never be this happy

>tfw never gotten accepted to shacktack

Any old /a3g/ here?

Why not user

you aint missing nothing, son

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

Mid-december and no Andromedon Corpse
It's an abstract kind of EVAC

Do they still play?

>tfw I wasted $30 on A3 and never play it

the group is still active, yes

/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

I'll probably pick up 2 over christmas sale. Is there any major difference i need to know going into 2?

Do you keep using camo when you hit power armor?

It just looks silly I think

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

what mod is the band-aided face?

I think the powered armor looks dumb in general so I just stick to the predator/kevlar armor look.

Really? Predator's the dumbest imo, by a large margin

I respect that, I just like the simplicity of it.

I just activated a sectopod pod mid-turn while fighting reinforcements and I have to say, the meme beacon meme is real.

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.

>it's a "End up playing highly irregular music to fighting Advent in a rainy dystopian ghetto street" episode
>youtube.com/watch?v=iwDDswGsJ60

How?

With Grim's armor pack, I guess.

>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

>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."

X1 snipers were broken as fuck though. It's fair.

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.

>5th mission in new playthrough has a viper, 2x stun lancer pod
>miss 3/4 overwatch shots
Nope. Nope. Nope.

>overwatch
Tis but a meme

fuck collaborators

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

>Tfw LW perks snipers

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?

dont give the order commander
if we are no better than advent then this whole war is pointless

It will all be a blur. If he survives the war he'll need some counseling at worst.
Also Collaborators aren't people.

Suffer not the faceless to live. Take the shot. VIGILO CONFIDO

He used to be laid back.

Not anymore.
