Hey coo-
>But the optimal way to play is to literally never fire a shot
LW2 is trash.
Nolan Bennett
Why you guys say there is no pirate version of long war 2? I found one.
Thomas Watson
>boo-hoo now I have to actually setup opportunities for good shots instead of just nuking the pod from orbit
William Cook
What mod do you guys use to add Resistance DLC armor options to normal kevlar and beyond? I can't find one that includes them
I just want my dirtied XCOM EW armor repost
Robert Campbell
>You in charge of reading comprehension
I literally said them nerfing alpha striking was good you dumb fucking inbred.
Let me expand so your tiny, negroidic mind can follow.
The biggest problem with XCOM 2 was that combat had 0 depth. It was kill or be killed in 1 turn. People wanted the protracted firefights of LW1 that allowed for maneuver and tactics. Destroying terrain, suppression, flanking, flashbanging, chem nades, etc.
Well, LW2 did that. And thats good. Gatecrasher was a blast, getting to have a multi-turn firefight in XCOM 2. It was thrilling and it was challenging. I couldn't wait to keep playing and see what new possibilities would arise from new maps, new enemies and new items.
And then it turns out that the only way to play most missions due to the enormous size of maps and seemingly unchanged timers is to send the smallest possible squad and speedrun to avoid every enemy possible.
See the problem?
People didn't bemoan XCOM 2's lack of stealth. They bemoaned the combat. LW2's brilliant solution was to fix the combat but then make it something you ACTIVELY want to avoid. The feature everyone was most excited for is the one will optimally experience the least.
The whole point of LW2 is to avoid playing LW2. Its a speedrunning game, not a tactical combat game.

pistols are useful

If anyone is interested, heres a small list of custom characters I've made. dropbox.com/s/tlhbhdwkjppbbud/My Stuff.bin?dl=0 All you need is CapnBubs Accessories, Custom Face Paints, Xcom 2 International Voices Pack, and GrimStyleArmor
Justin Cook
Anybody else think that Infiltration is kind of fucked right now? I'm passing up missions left and right but generally it seems that the only way to get anywhere close to 100% infiltration is to only send 4 soldiers, which makes anything other than an "Extremely Light" baseline next to impossible. And choosing to load up your squad and do almost no infiltration isn't much better, especially when the timers are so restrictive and the map is filled with pods.
Aaron Cooper
Kevlar for playable sneks when?
Eli Martin
How many faceless, voiceless soldiers do you have on your squad?
Zachary Williams
That's the curse of the Long War team. They have tons of great ideas but they're disgustingly awful at balance and will make the game literally impossible because muh challenge
Brayden Bennett
Xcom 2 lore is that you lost and you're now a guerilla. The whole thing is that you have to pick your fights wisely. You can skip a pod, but you're risking getting it on your ass later on. You can sneak out a VIP out of a city pretty easily, but by doing that you're not leveling up anyone and ADVENT will eventually get tired of your shit. And many mission types cannot be done 100% hidden
Josiah Miller
Cute Vipers are always great.
Landon Campbell
I remember requesting that way back a pity that its fuzzy

i mean we can't see the turn timer but this is super doable if you're not trash. (you probably are.)
Andrew Foster

Brody Walker
what to do in this situation: throw a grenade and hope it kills a few of them, flashbang them all, or overwatch ambush?
Carter Jackson
Flashbang, most of them will run to the car for cover. Grenade car.
Sebastian Hill
Sooo... I got a few lucky missions and got a lead to some sort of network tower (or whatever it is). But the thing is I dont even have sergants yet. Nor lazor rifles. Should I try to do it? Or is it really hard and I'm gonna get fucked? Posting again cuz new thread
inb4: >russian i'm pretty sure if i found it on first russian torrent i checked you'll find it on any other
Zachary Parker
these loading screens are pretty neat
Levi Bailey
ye
Jordan Perry
i just got the most fucking bullshit gatecrasher map ive ever seen
every pod was clustered into 3 buildings with max cover while i had to advance with no cover or flanking opportunities whatsoever
Camden Jackson
Isn't that the EXALT symbol?
Jackson Cooper
yeah, i found English torrents too but any of them have the mod files alone, all are isos or repacks and ain't downloading the whole game again... Let's wait, maybe someone upload it.
Joseph Rogers
>not wanting to play metal gear xcom
was I the only one who enjoyed doing sabotage facility missions with a single concealment-focused assault?
Julian Lewis
There is only exe file that need to be cracked, right?
Juan Morris
>dude turning xcom into a literal stealth game is a good thing lmao
is there anything more pathetic than a long war dickrider?
Evan Phillips
They are slightly bugged, the static sound doesnt always play.
Isaiah Myers
No.
I love LW1 and still realize LW2 is shit no one asked for. Neither here nor >Reddit did anyone ever say the game needed more reliance on stealth.
Sebastian Hernandez
You faggots have to be doing something wrong if you're having this much trouble with long dong 2.
I can barely beat a commander ironman game on X2 and I'm having a pretty easy time with it on veteran.
Aiden Ward
Bump
Nolan Rogers
IQ is coming along, she's suffering from a case of spaghetti arms at the moment though.
Kayden Allen
>enemies spam overwatch across the map in heavy cover
>flashbangs do not reach

>cant move up
wow.... such fun
Brandon Brown
Good to know.
The game needs all the QT it can get.
Thomas Adams
Which missions can you get away with a 1-2 man squad?
Levi Morales
facility sabotage
Charles Diaz
since people said my original game was bugged because of my operators not returning after a mission, I lost my decent stat xeno-phile me Any easy ways to cheat through gatecrasher so I can try to get me back through the rng? Dont really want to spend 10-15 minutes during the op only to get the wrong/no potential
Ayden Hall
>Supply raid >5 days till expire >Mid-lite enemy force
Dropped 25 intel on it, only had to kill 19 enemies.
Now I've got gauss guns coming and the tier two armor done.
I still haven't seen any avatar project progress or been able to attack the blacksite.
Ayden Nelson
great job man
Cameron Martinez
Nice Quads
Juan Long

Thomas Sanchez
Play on Rookie your first time, no exceptions
Get tactical, equip silencers, leave the hot stuff at home
Some missions require stealth
Some missions require flame throwers
Infiltrate beyond 100%
Know thy enemy
Don't be afraid to evac
Don't be afraid to abort missions
Always move up
Not every enemy must die
Not every soldier must live
If you're bitching there's 8 pods and twelve turns, then leave the mission.
Not every target is a good one
This is not LONG WAR 1
Matthew Walker
Rreeee, share this shit with me please
Tyler Brown
The worst thing about long dong 2 is that hacking a door or container reveals your operative.
Why is this a thing?
Camden Wilson
buy the game ;)
Jaxson Sullivan
are you currently only doing ports, Uncle G? Or would you be willing to do edits (such as adding vanilla kevlar chests to playable aliens?)
Brandon Martinez
THIS ENTIRE UNDERTAKING WAS THE PRODUCT OF AN ILL-CONCEIVED PLAN
A SERIES OF SIMPLE MISUNDERSTANDINGS MET WITH AN
OVERZEALOUS RESPONSE
Oliver Rogers
This.
You're playing guerilla warfare doing hit and run tactics.
Not open war funded by all countries on the globe as a super secret military group.
Ryder Lopez
Out of all of the problems with LW2 this is not one of them. Figure out how to play the game.
Joshua Richardson
I don't have 30$ :c
Easton Collins
>reeeee this game isn't LW1 >reeeee i'm getting bullied by ayys >reeeee why isn't this game LW1 >reeeeei i'll keep eating shit instead of just going and playing LW1
all the dummies in this thread lmao
Owen Jenkins
The playable Snek mods don't allow you to customize them at all, right? Would be nice to change their scale colors.
Caleb Myers
Time to find out what everyone is bitching about. LW2 Gatecrasher time.
it used to be able to. let me get my laptop, hold on if it is as customizable as the kevlar on the humans then yes i love you
Adrian Cox
Not him, but that looks real nice.
Nolan Walker
You could customize her scales as well as her armor had xcom insignias on the shoulders mind the shitty resolution
Samuel Reyes
but there was something about the alien hunters dlc that ruined that, so now you just get literal clones
Mason Walker
this makes me feel like some skyrim yarl is telling me about the endtimes
Daniel Morales
I should do a snake voice pack, for maximum adorable.
Kevin Perez
im just going to use Dr. Vahlen's voice but hey, if you have a cute voice then sure post a vocaroo sample user
Nathaniel Davis
don't forget to edit the .ini to get more dmg from your weapons, and bonus supply multipliers
Justin Young
I imagine it might be the Underdeveloped Snakes you find in the Alien Hunter DLC that caused it to break, unless it happened to all aliens. As in record it your self, or find a fitting voice? >Inb4 it's just samples of actual snake sounds
Jaxson Turner
Snake as the Snake I posted, here is where she's from.
I haven't needed to increase my damage, but I would just invest in clearing out debris to fix your supply problem without making your havens too specialized
Camden Evans
>Get tactical, equip silencers, leave the hot stuff at home Fuck off cheater scum

Carson Gomez
Veteran LW2 is too easy and Commander too hard. What do?
Nolan Howard
For that we'd need an actual femanon.
Kevin Howard
Does the playable aliens mod not work in the character pool? I've replaced the viper model with the kevlar one but it just shows up like this.
Dylan Johnson
Play rookie to get a good high going then play legendary to send you crashing down?
Joseph Allen
it does not, unfortunately, you'd have to get it in game Just use console commands/quick start mod Give yourself 3 viper corpses Do the Viper Autopsy then you can make a viper Sorry for the complications
Jose Evans
How far into the LW2 campaign did you get?
Zachary Bailey
Should i install this game on a SSD?
Tyler Ward
would probably help with load times
Camden Garcia
is there a lw2 compatable commander's choice mod?
Connor Anderson
Yes.
Andrew Long
Kk
Chase Brooks
>enemy is flanked >he decides to hunker down for some reason % defense on the shot why
Daniel Cox
Hunker Down is a legitimate strategy if you're flanked and need to use 1 of your moves on something else. If all he did was Hunker Down then I don't know what to tell ya.
Wyatt Martin
yeah but how the fuck does crouching under cover make you less vulnerable from the flank
Oliver Nguyen
Because Turn-Based games. XCOM is no exception to having illogical abilities.
