SPARKs are our friends indeed. Yay SPARKS. i like them more than mecs fite me
PP looks pretty legit, I'm excited too. Also for BattleTech in April.

>tfw your gun is tiny
I built the wrong god damn gun. I mean I guess it's still a straight upgrade to the assault rifle but I'm fucking retarded and missed the carbine part. God dammit.
>I like them more than mecs I will indeed fite you. No I find sparks cute but I have a few fundamental issues with them that make me unable to enjoy them 1) They are built a separate new unit. So after you've already been playing with a squad for awhile you basically introduce this new guy and it's just never the same for me. I kinda wish it had instead been some sort of weird experimental alien tech shit where you transferred consciousness of a soldier into an electronic brain thing. That's just me though. 2) Maybe my biggest issue is the stupid bit thing. I imagine some people like it and find it cute and shit but to me it's just a lazy cop out for new animations. Which is weird because it has it's own new models, so maybe they just thought it would be a cool idea. I'd prefer if the spark did it's own long range hacking and fire it's own heavy weapons. It just further removes my interest in the spark.
In fact when the DLC was announced I sort of just assumed you'd take one of the specialists robits and turn it into a spark, which would probably be more interesting IMO.
Hey fellas, new to XCOM here. The collection for XCOM 2 is on sale for $50 that comes with everything, should I purchase?
Adam Sanders
Absolutely everything, including WotC? If so then yes, even the expansions everyone whines about had some good stuff in them.
Joshua Nguyen
Yea it comes with WotC, looks like this tactics games is fun
Dominic Adams
Do it, an opportunity like this doesn't come every day.
Nicholas Cooper
I wanted to pick this up and the Elite Dangerous Commander edition. RIP my wallet!
Angel Mitchell
Yeah Carbines are a big downgrade, the importance of +1 damage is hard to overstate, especially when you throw in shooting twice and crits. I like them for my mid mobility rocketeer though.
James Hall
So tell me about your father

Carson Evans
>cruel commanders if this fucks can't shoot straight they can atleast activate and throw a HE
Logan Sanders
>they can atleast activate and throw a HE Don't need to suicide for that
Josiah Sanders
>using carbines Well the only fit I could find for them is medic officers with supression, they rarely ever shoot and +1 ammo over smg can provide that crucial supression while still giving bonus to mobility.
Jordan Howard
what if grenades had aim like rockets did
Zachary Green
Is there a mod yet that makes the game longer? Like actually making the 'stages' longer and delay the dates in which things happen. Aside from playing on Legendary, of course.
And is there a mod for kilts yet? I need soldiers wearing kilts, god damn it.
Jose Robinson
I give carbines to soldiers with shit aim who fill other roles like medic and engineer, or rookies with shit aim because it's better to hit something imo
Kevin Perez
>Don't need to suicide for that Don't worry commander for each one they take from us we are taking 3 of those nasty invaders with us and many men and women are ready to continue fight for mankind
>savescum to force a 55% shot to connect >soldier acquires negative trait "fear of missed shots" I love this game
Jackson Butler
Blame the chucklefuck from here who thought the mod was funny and spammed it in /v/ during E3. If it weren't for that guy, barafag never would've come into existence.
Connor Murphy
I don't blame anyone but the man himself. Nor should you. If he is going to be an autistic shit then he has no one to blame but himself.
Jordan Clark
Are we shifting blame to barafag for why the general is slow from what the reason was before?
Dylan Torres
I don't think so, we just don't like barafag spam
Evan Ward
He's only posted two or three pictures per thread for a while, can't call that spam.
Josiah Thomas
I like to roleplay in xcom2 as though my squads are made up of ex-special forces members, so I have a bunch of mods that give me all these modern day military outfits. Problem is as soon as you get to tier 2 armour everyone gets their stuff shuffled and looks like a hooker, not to mention laser weapons really break the realism factor. Feels bad man.
Dominic Wilson
Uh huh
Nathan James
>He's only posted two or three pictures per thread for a while
Besides the fact that it's completely unnecessary fetish posting, he's been posting at least 1 image per day (usually more) just in xcg for 9 months. And he doesn't just post here, but in every XCOM and even non-XCOM threads he sees. Once I saw him post that mod in a /trek/ thread of all things.
I loathe discussing this though because he seeks and enjoys negative attention. Just ignore him.
Blake Ortiz
I like to make power rangers and when a new power ranger dies someone else becomes the new one with a different shade of their color
Yellow and Black are on their 4th guy While Power Ranger red and Blue are still the originals
I would love to do this but first I need to learn how to port helmets
Christian Lopez
(OP)
Matthew Baker
We need a new fucking thread. Half of the shit in the OP is not even relevant anymore. And we all know the creator of this thread is a butthurt spammer who won't shut the fuck up about airgame
Justin Cooper
Well I lost four soldiers in Friend's In Low Places and 5 in a swarming abduction mission because Long War is retarded sometimes and crams pods into maps they can't go in. I *think* I can recover, I had a pretty robust roster of troops, but that + my two satellites shot down, and a couple of other UFOs I had to ignore. I am a little worried about the coming month. Especially considering I think muton's are coming soon
Luis Reed
I've been meaning to update the OP but haven't had the chance to actually make the thread yet.
Nathan Watson
>it's an assassin on lost advent supply raid Episode
I'd be happy to just ignore it but alas they decided if you ignore a supply raid you lose the area it's in.
Sorry, I got the mission type wrong. Was thinking of "stranded expedition", that shit with the turret. Assassin on lost maps in general is a fucking nightmare but having to rush to her position makes life just a tad bit worse.
I think if a shiv is destroyed and then you rebuild it using it's wreck the game counts still them as if you built a completely new one. But I haven't played EU/EW/LW in a long while
Jaxon Baker
The assassin with +3 health regen is bloody aggravating lads. When she stuns a few of your guys then runs to relative safety and starts healing up.
>start new run on Commander to get a refresher on the Long War 2 classes >everything feels wrong and too easy >drop it a month in despite getting stupidly lucky (engineer from first scan, hunter as first chosen, general assassination that goes really well) >start Legend run instead I'm going to get a haven assault with the fucking Warlock, aren't I?
At least I finally got the achievement for doing a mission with all the soldiers being the same class. I missed LW2's Rangers.
>bunch of Payday 2 voicepacks >none of them are John Wick
Levi Stewart
The original xcom fps demos did strike me as more intriguing, with the xeno detective angle.
Camden Cook
>Grim Dawn was also pretty damn polished. It's on sale right now for $6.24
Lincoln Butler
Is the DLC worth it?
Adrian Morgan
YMMV, but I'd say yes.
Jacob Nelson
Crucible, depends if you like arena modes. It's pretty fun but adds nothing to the main game. Ashes of Malmouth? absolutely. It's a proper fucking expansion. The new classes are great and the new acts hit just the right level of pain.
Samuel Gomez
Not sure how to manage panic in Long War.. I started in North America so I satellited that shit up reducing panic, but an exalt cell increased panic in Canada by like a bajillion and successfully completing the OP didn't entirely reset it. So the next month because it was high panic the ayys sent a terror ship at it. Now I'm pretty sure I am going to lose Canada and my bonus. Fuck
Eli Price
In LW it is assumed that you will lose countries and there's nothing you can do about it early. Just roll with the punches here. One thing that is nice is that you can reclaim them later in the game via base assaults, so you can get that bonus back eventually. However, early on, you're gonna lose people and there's no way around it. Sorry mate.
Grayson Turner
RIP air superiority bonus
Cooper Wright
Yeah losing your continent bonus super early is rough. You've got my sympathies friend.
Eli Brown
what is this mod
William Butler
Really it's my own fault because there was some things that kind of got away from me due to missions going bad. That exalt covert op is pretty brutal though.
Owen Clark
I can't think of any cool-concept pre-rendered FPS video that has ever translated into a good game.
I mean, there's Portal, but it wasn't pre-rendered.
Josiah Bailey
EXALT is really hard... until you start taking Assaults with shottys in every mission and smoking them.
Noah Miller
Nearly got fucked in one exalt mission because I hadn't played in forever and forgot you could hack shit to force them to reload. Put a lot of my guys into wounded or critically wounded
Christopher Bell
Ouch. Forgetting the hack trick is a great way to squadwipe instantly.
James Allen
Long War pls I just need like 3 or 4 days to breathe
