I've yet to see the start of a new game. Do you still get to pick what region you start, and do they have various bonuses?

New weapons, the Thunder tier, which balances less damage for a chain lightning effect. Edit: This isn't a thing revealed, I want to mod it in. Junpei fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Feb 4, 2016 |

I have to say that the one thing from all the streams that is driving me insane is that Bradford sounds nothing like he did in EU/EW. Is it a new voice actor, and if so, why? Doesn't sound right.

Soothing Vapors posted:Wiki says it's a different voice actor, doesn't really say why. Maybe just to age him up? I mean, sure, it's just that the human voice doesn't really work in such a way as to change as drastically as the change here. While age *does* change your voice somewhat (called presbyphonia), it only really introduces minor issues like slight pitch alterations (although men's voices actually alter *up* with age, not down) and some gruffness. Even years of heavy chain-smoking and drinking, while it will gravel-up the sound, won't fundamentally alter the "sound" of your voice at a base level outside of you suddenly needing a hole cut in your throat and/or severe vocal damage...but the Bradford in X2 speaks with normal clarity and no signs of that kind of extreme trauma. It's a dumb nitpicky thing (my not-so-hidden choral studies nerd peeking out) that I'm sure I'll get used to. But I'll KNOW it isn't Bradford dammit! Goddamn alien bastards can't pull the wool over MY eyes/ears! No but really I'm pre-loading now and gently caress I need this game now. Is it rolling out at midnight Thursday? And if so, is that midnight in each time zone?

Nah just having fart guns that do insane damage and are the best guns so you have to use them. The not blowing up buildings is just the balance, it can't be completely OP or it'll just get nerfed. Bring some drat rockets or grenades, big whoop.

Preload is all done. I put in my two weeks notice to work that lines up perfectly for this. (Unrelated reason for quitting, just happens to line up) I can't wait!

I watched a couple of videos and have some questions: So grenadiers are the new heavies, 'cos they have a heavy-style gun and can launch regular grenades further than other people can throw them (they are the same grenades, right?) But the grenades do the same damage no matter who throws them? And do they get an extra grenade slot or something, maybe as one of the perks? Then, Rangers are the new assaults, and they have shotguns for close up, and swords for even closer up? Are the guns all set by your class or can you mix and match?

they shoot the grenades further, and have a wider radius I think. Rockets are part of an armor slot or something

It's the same as XCOM 1, where rangers can use shotguns or rifles and supports can only use rifles. Other classes have one specific weapon type.

Grenadier grenades do more damage, go farther, and have bigger AoE. They get a grenade only item slot and with the right perk/upgrades, can get extra grenades. Slot 1 item Slot 2 item or grenade Slot 3 grenade so up to 4 grenades if I am remembering correct

At that rate Xcom 2 will be like late Exalt missions, where you throw your grenades, the sniper shoots seven times and then you go home

They can spec for higher damage/wider area grenades. By default all they have is the grenade launcher which lets them shoot it further.

I'm going to go for them since they seems pretty interesting but not so much that it should majorly effect the feel of my first playthrough. I can't wait to see how the leadership skill tree works out. [e] SMGs are going to be support's exclusive weapon in my game.

It's your experience and you should do whatever you want, but the idea of modding the game before even seeing what the actual game is like without mods seems insane to me.
