Actually, a lot of that soundtrack is thematically appropriate for throwing that alien scum off our earth.

No, they are on a cooldown. In one of the previous streams a sectoid managed to mind control one of his soldiers (it was Jake "Hot Load" Solomon) twice.

Apologies if it's been mentioned before but I noticed from the stream you can set waypoints to follow during a move action, which is really nice.

I am a firm believer that 70s hard rock is the optimal music style for sci-fi combat.

Any word on how robust this will be? Can we have shuffled playlists? I loved this as a feature in MGS V's chopper intro music.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
It's exactly as robust as I can be bothered to make it. It's going to be a mod, one that realistically will be shut down within a day because it's full of non-authorized copyrighted content (the fact that it's a free mod and I'm going to slightly distort the music so that it sounds like it's coming out of the helicopter's speakers might buy me a little time)

Maybe along with some way to give special abilities to your soldiers as an alternative option to a mech suit.

Might be a bit OP so they should probably tie it to a limited resource you can get during missions IMO

Could it be made so it just pulls for a preset, intially empty folder? That way you are only putting the framework up, downloaders can fill it with what they want. That would be perfectly legit AFAIK

Just don't distribute music with it. If it just loads music that I already have on my computer there's no reason it would get pulled down, should be easy to have it play stuff from a dedicated folder on your drive.

I thought about this and yeah, I might do it assuming I can tell XCOM2 where to look for files to load. It's a lot of dang work though.

And not mecs as we're used to in EU. These are just autonomous robot soldiers, not hulking machines that stomp around and tower over soldiers.

4-man to 6, instead of an "Officer Training School" you have a "Guerilla Tactics School" which does mostly the same thing.
