Ah gotcha, I like the changes to that. Sounds more interesting and definitely provides better synergies. I'm curious to see how some people will use their sharpshooters, aka mobile or camping~ Thanks for the replies

This has been an absolutely remarkable 6 months for new games for me personally, and I am looking forward to more because of XCOM2. GON B GUD Followed by Dark Souls 3, even? Cripes.

Mimic beacon is really dumb. Why would you not carry a ton of them on every mission?

Cyclomatic posted:For a game that would be bad AI. Sectoids behave in a way that is predictable and can be neutralized by exploiting their nature, or become a big big problem if the pod scatter, terrain, or just plain bad luck screws up the neutralization plan. A campaign is a lot of missions, with many pods per mission. The sectoid AI is good because its nature will make things go really bad when things go a little bad, and the player will remember that incident as 'that is Xcom'. To expand on this, beagle got rushed by a few stun lancers, a mec, and two sectoids. The sectoids took away enough fire power for the other units to overwhelm beagle, and he lost 4 of 5 soldiers on the mission. If all sectoids do is take one soldier away with mind control or panic it can spell doom in the wrong situation which is bound to happen at least once in the game.

Sectoids do support stuff, which is super dangerous if they have units to support. Sectoids like to run away and link up with a new pod and activate them, which is really dangerous for the player, when the sectoid is the last ayy standing so ignoring them is actually dangerous. Just because beagle makes it look easy in the openings ng months of the game doesn't mean something is wrong with the AI. Xcom would be total poo poo as a game if the ayys used killer AI that made optimal kill plays. They can suicide for kills because Firaxis Xcom isn't based on taking massive casualties, and the AI acts accordingly, and the game looks just fine, even on hard, because the AI threatens a squad wipe. Beagle wasn't shy about expressing concern about overwatch trapping. If he thought sectoid AI was a problem, it stands to reason he would flat out say it.

Incidentally this:Cyclomatic posted:They can suicide for kills because Firaxis Xcom isn't based on taking massive casualties, and the AI acts accordingly, and the game looks just fine, even on hard, because the AI threatens a squad wipe. the player is stopped from doing the same thing because losing that soldier is a serious blow. the AI doesn't give a crap, it'll have more dudes the next mission regardless.

They don't scale as far as I can tell--they can be destroyed with enough damage and harder hitting units are going to clear them out faster, possibly even immediately, at which point all fire is on you again. They may be an early game hail mary but late game joke of a slot. If they get nerfed, I imagine it'll be to reduce their hit point and defense values so they fall apart much faster.
