I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

An all-ranger gimmick run seems almost viable, from what we'e seen so far.

Oh cripes...the ragdolls are utterly hilarious in the stream. I need that gifv of the sniper blasting an advent in the head, somersaulting backwards and plastered across the wall before sliding down so bad.

Goon namelist ---> goon soldier pool? Is it possible to customize a soldier and then submit them for others to use or is it just a steam friends thing?

Hopefully there's at least some way of getting the soldiers as files so that we could have a big 'ol zip for download.

Watched beagle's vids, seemed to be a fair amount of shooting through walls and corners going on. Hopefully they will improve that.

Even if not, I'm just glad they added that little indicator of whether or not you'll be able to shoot at an alien if you move to a certain spot. That alone is like...most of the issues I had with shooting through walls or not being able to because that little lamp is totally blocking your LOS to the target ect.

I need someone to mod in more animations for the "walk of victory" when your troops return. On a flawless victory they should swagger in with their arms in the air while a crowd goes wild.

the phantom upgrade they showed in the stream was basically like "yes, this is a thing i want"

i am also digging the HELL out of the grenadier/new heavy. the minigun beats the lmg in coolness by several degrees of magnitude and the mgl they carry has already been shown off to be way more fun than the rocket launcher by allowing arcing shots. allahu ackbar, xcom ackbar.

they did note that the living quarters on the SHIELD superfortress is a step up from what most people have been rocking on the fringes of ADVENT society, and that place looks...well, spartan, is the most charitable word i can come up with.

what i'm saying is that your soldiers probably have some pretty twisted ideas of fun and i'm ok with that.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
Well, XCOM 2's PR team certainly went loud today.

I was excited about XCOM 2 until I watched today's footage. Now I'm in complete disbelief this is a game we're getting.

Its everything I didn't know I wanted, and it is fantastic.
