I have to say that despite Solomon getting surprised regarding a lot of things that X-COM players take for granted I have to give him props for actually listening to the fans instead of pulling a Bioware style whine regarding how the players don't understand their vision. It's a rare thing nowadays, unfortunatly.

Interesting, it appears that something called Xcom: Enemy Within was sighted in the registry of Steam. I hope that this little bit of info is true since that would mean some eventual expansion goodness is on it's way once The Bureau is released.

I'm really hoping that the Enemy Within subtitle means that we'll get to contend with hostile human squads, armed with alien weaponry from defected countries working in tandem with the alien forces.

I have to say that it's kind of funny how some of the discussions this thread in general has gone from: "What do you mean I can't send a squad of 10 newbies out to die like lemmings in a meatgrinder?  "to "Omigosh, do you mean that they need to cut off the arms and legs of my poor soldier if they are going to be a mech?  "

I still feel that the Alloy Cannon should have been in anentire weapon tier of it's own, preferably after plasma. It would have suited the whole "reverse engineer alien tech and make it our own" angle that XCOM is going for.

Since I managed to get myself into a failure cascade on my first EW I decided to try out something different and not set my base in Europe. Do anyone have some pointers for what should be a better basesite than Europe?

Goddamn, I love the MEC punch way too much. I probably should try out the flamethrower but it's just so goddamn cathartic to punch a thin man straight through a wall and into his buddies.

So, since I went with North America as my basesite in my new EW Classic playthrough I just wondered if it's worth it to start buying and placing Interceptors around the globe in order to blast as many U.F.O's as possible for a better score or should I only bother once I've sent up a few satellites?

I've always turned off the slingshot content because of the terrible missions in it but I might go for it this time since I feel that the MEC's is enough to turn it around, despite using ballistic weapons. EDIT:Holy crap! The range penalty for Reaper rounds only affect the minimum range penalty of a sniper rifle? This changes so many things!

Demiurge4 posted:Here's my own crazy theory: The avatar project is the merging of humans with Ethereals to achieve godhood and the intro tutorial is XCOM freeing the Commander from an alien lab where he's being held as a candidate (because he's a super psyker). The fifth class will be other freed super psykers and they can only be obtained from very difficult and rare missions, doing so will set the avatar project back by quite a bit. The game will do a lot to paint the Commander as special and humanity's last hope because a lot of games these days like to play up to the power fantasies of its players.

Not a Step posted:I think it replaces the Doom Counter (countries that withdraw from XCOM) from the first game. If the track reaches full the Ethereals became all powerful or something. I noticed in Beagle's videos that the second mission set back progress by 1 on Avatar, so I guess you can harass and set back the Doom Tracker to offset alien progress. Like retaking countries in Long War.

Man, those of you whining about that "Xcom lost the war" canonwise would have had a loving rage episode if you read in the Xcom: Apocalypse manual how Terror from the Deep ended, your squad that assaulted T'leth died trying to get out while earth is transformed into a toxic wasteland due the fallout from the explosion
