RE: Playing some XCOM... - Havok - 10-31-2014
I started a new play through the other day. Took the names of classmates and friends iRL as the characters, I had to bring the sad news of one of their deaths, though everyone else has survived thusfar.
Is that Enemy Within Rod?

It's almost as if the first post doesn't exist.
Yeah, it's Enemy Within with the Long war mod and a few graphical overhauls.

Well the "This should help" link shows Enemy Unknown (which I play
), Love the graphical overhauls though.

My current campaign is already gone to chips, terror is spreading and 5 countries already left. I CAN'T SAVE YOU ALL PEOPLE D:

Hmm. Sounds fun. I never heard about this game though. Will have a look.
Edit: Looks fun too. Will see if I can get my hands on it.

I am just preparing for the Newfoundland mission...those who've played know what it is, and for those who don't...why don't you stay tuned.

That's the one with the hive right? I hated that mission, lost all but 2 of my guy's WHO WERE ROOKIES
Personally I hate the EXALT op mission's, I mean they would be fine if they were fair fights but I mean...I just did one mission where I was to hold down one spot and I at first at only saw 6 guys...
Within the following turns, in the next rooms of the building, I was surrounded by 12 EXALT soldiers, and 70% of them were heavies supported by assault (20%) and snipers (10%). Basicly I spent a good amount of time of that mission making sure the EXALT didn't A: Capture the point or B: One of my laser/plasma weapon soldiers didn't destroy the relay station.
Also quick question, is it just me or is the alien most annoying unit the Cyberdisk? You know, the flying sphere thing that unfolds into a twin AI blaster drone? Or their assault mech which has a shield and some damn hard hitting power

This is the Newfoundland MIssion. It's a very special cornflake so I won't spoil any details of it, every XCOM player needs to experience it for himself. I will tell you how it ends though. Like this.
My tactic was basically to take a Private as scout and bait and an elite taskforce consisting of "Princess" BloogaL, "Prince" Rod, "Hulk" Redon, "Pitbull" Divine, "Zero" ChillerMiller and "Spider" Eduard. Private Pavel was doing the scouting, and she did an admirable job. Anyways, This was the end result.
A scant few days after, an old friend emerges.Hello there.An exalt incursion is dealt with handily, wounding Divine and Eduard in the process....and looks like the aliens really want some American soil. This won't be as suicidal as the last one, but still pretty damn hard.
and Shizune, Sectopods man.
