Mostly true, unless your murder machine Assault gets mind controlled and you don't have anyone else in position or the tech level to take out a the Sectoid Commander. Then, that little fucker will turn and run while you are stuck trying to not kill your murder Assault while keeping everyone else safe from the murder. That is a scary rear end situation when your best most powerful unit is run and gunning towards your guys, and you really don't want to have to kill him/her. You are tossing flashbangs and using disabling shot and whatever else while a couple of your other troops go off on a wild goose chase trying to find the Commander. Oh, what is that? Another pod.

One of my favorite changes EW made was just having sectoid commanders show up in regular groups accompanying mechtoids. It sounds small but it turns mind control into something you might actually have to deal with as opposed to something that will be irrelevant on every mission because the only enemies that use it are always hiding inside the tactical command closet.

Brainamp posted:They're the midboss. They aren't really supposed to still be around when you're getting ready to gently caress up battleships and poo poo. In my game, they still were because cells kept declining to appear, via sabotage or intel scans. I went three solid months after building the gollop chamber and being ready to end the game because I wanted the achievement for getting the exact location of their base. I think they sabotaged me... three times over the entire campaign? Maybe four? They weren't even a nuisance, just a chore.

Btw, not sure anyone would care about this or not, but I started a patreon page last week over on reddit to send a bunch of nice cupcakes from a local bakery to the XCOM team over at Firaxis studios. Was out of pocket like $200 but then everyone jumped in and donated enough to make that full amount in its entirety - so I dropped another $30 on a dozen more. 54 cupcakes of 3 diff flavors w/ the edible Vigilo Confido shield printed on the top will be arriving there on Tuesday. They should be posting something on twitter w/ a pic or something. oswald ownenstein fucked around with this message at 07:12 on Jun 7, 2015 |

Captain Invictus posted:Oh, Beagle, you absolutely 100% need to get Chaos Gate and use your loyal fanbase to help you get it working. Beagle, I notice you don't have PMs, so if you're interested just quote this post with an email I can contact you at. Night10194 posted:I always figured Exalt was meant to be a way for you to more easily train up some new soldiers if you lost your A team, to try to address the potential brittleness of X-COM, hence why they suck. They were supposed to be a different ethos than the normal aliens, since they're essentially human traitors, but it didn't work well in the engine on the timeline they had. Basically everyone agrees that EXALT Geoscape was fantastic, EXALT Battlescape was a joke.

Realistically the only way to do it is a virtual machine, but that's not a huge deal if you know what you're doing, and I literally use VMs every day to do my work. I totes am interested although no promise of when I'd ACTUALLY get around to it (this is a serious comment coming from a guy who has a backlog of "games I want to play" stretching back several years).

It's been like 15 years since I played chaos gate on my sweet '98 450mhz gaming pc, but one thing that's cool and memorable is the soundtrack. They did space marine songs in latin and had them on the CD. It seems I'm not the only one who liked it and it's all up on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx61xeDV_60 Whole playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhll0TDIIdk&list=PLYStYjr1J77IAW6o1A76y7GqsTbwZ7Kjf A friend and I tried to LAN the multiplayer and it bugged out horribly but for single player it was a great game. The other bug that I still remember was trying to throw a grenade would throw your melee weapon sometimes? I remember hunting around on tiles on the floor to find a knife I threw by accident (the game doesn't actually support throwing knives iirc). I think in my entire playthrough it only happened once or twice, though.

I for one welcome our new Snake Tit Overlords. Eager to see another Xcom and really hoping the custom maps means we'll have a survival play mode with no campaign. Where you just go as long as you can until you lose.

I just did a covert op in Long War where the operative was an assault when he left, but when the mission was over he got promoted and became a sniper. That's... not normal, right?
