The Ugly I missed a 95% shot? Seriously? :allears:

The reviewer is an admitted contard who prefers shooters. They should have given him battlecod and a pacifier to review instead

Advent will overwatch civilians that move on terror missions, amazing (at which point the civ promptly turned into a Faceless and rushed Beagle's team :lol:)

Beagle promised he was gonna try to save as many civs as he could but he still didn't rush enough during the terror mission. Too many civs getting cut down by stormtroopers.

I like it. You NEED to go out there and put your troops in the line of fire to win retaliation missions. No more turtling.

Pretty sure he'd have been much better off if he hadn't gotten all his good experienced troopers captured.

It looks like there's a much bigger focus on not being a coward this time, which is very nice.

If you gently caress up an extraction and have people outside of the exit zone they're captured instead of murdered now.

If you leave troops behind, they're not KIA, they're "captured" and you have a chance of rescuing them in a later mission.

Yeah, MIAs can be rescued later sometimes.

Also, holy poo poo that was an absurdly lucky shot for Beagle. These last few missions have been insane.

If they can't in the base game that will be an easy mod to make.
I am avoiding the stream since he is showing story stuff but I am insanely hyped for Friday. I just hope GMG gives me my key in time for pre-loading.

His good experienced troopers were like corporals. It's not like he could have had colonels or something.

At this point I half expect Beaglerush to hit some Dark Event that says "If prevented release game on Thursday, if failed release at 8 AM Monday"

I think trying to play stealthy in this mission was a mistake. It's a container detonation mission, right? Probably should have just gone in blowing poo poo up like crazy with the grenadier.

I'm curious about this too. I've never preordered anything with GMG (and almost never preorder anything) so I don't know how this usually works. Are we likely to get a key before the official unlock time, or am I going to be downloading the game all day Friday?

GMG is an official 2K licensee, so you'll probably get your key thursday if they offer preloading, just like the Amazon and whatever people.
