Something nobody's mentioned about the Bradfordranger yet that makes it even better/more horrifying: I'm pretty sure the landing struts have teeth on them.

Honestly my only wish is that the Skyranger would land, Bradford's mouth would open, and XCOM soldiers would emerge from his unholy maw. Dressed in those drat sweaters.

Psion posted:This worked out pretty well for GuavaMoment with TFTD The problem with the original X-Com series is that everything you do as Commander makes things worse somewhere down the line. Defeat the Sydonia brain? It sends out a hyperwave signal that wakes up every slumbering alien in the galaxy. Destroy the slumbering ancient ones and their giant temple ship? The destruction of the MC network releases toxic chemicals all over the world. Whatever the gently caress happens in Apocalypse? They never made another game after it but I'm assuming it couldn't have been good since the fighting caused severe damage to Mega-City One. Although that reminds me of the cutscene at the end of X-Com 1/UFO, where you shoot the giant computer... but most smart players just blaster bomb leveled that entire chamber.

Probably X-Com's interdimensional drives lacked proper shielding and everyone dies of spacecancer and turns into some sort of nightmarish horror that starts destroying other Megacities.

"Enforcer" is actually the working title of a novel one of the scientists is working on. It's basically just a fanfic he's written about how he and the super-cool, possibly cybernetic, commander fend off the alien horde by themselves. The few people he's shared it with have all burned it from their memories.

In keeping with the spirit of things it would be the Bradford Queen and she would get a free repeating voice clip for every action your soldiers make.

There's a mod that restores the XCOM "Close Range" sweater to its full glory and also gives you EXALT dress outfits to wear. Those outfits own. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=696566464&searchtext=sweater edit: here's a mod that changes the Gremlin to PacMen http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=687468101&searchtext=cost+based Lunethex fucked around with this message at 09:24 on Jan 31, 2017 |

 Operation Saga Picking up right where we left off the team is headed to the ADVENT Plot Site where the vial of green human goo has lead us. It's a long mission, so fair warning, grab a snack and a rootbeer before loading this video up. The facility mission isn't unlike anything we've seen before though. Starting in concealment is a great way to start the mission. No turn timer helps you not rush or panic things, as well as giving you the option to sit and wait a few turns to reload guns or let skills recharge. In theory this is a mission you should be able to take a slow methodical approach to and always maintain control of the situation. It is a long one though, so any mistakes made are going to have to be carried with you for a much longer time than usual. The only semi-new thing is really the Sectopod. Technically we've seen one before, but that was Julian at the time so this is our first ADVENT controlled Sectopod. It's worth noting that Julian's Sectopod didn't come with any special abilities so we know everything to expect from them. They shoot, they stomp, and they can lay down an artillery barrage. As the fight with Julian showed us a lone Sectopod isn't actually all that dangerous. It's when they are properly supported that they become lethal. Given a turn or two to smash over your cover and shoot soldiers in flanking positions they become deadly. If at long range and supported they can lay down their artillery fire and either pin or damage troops while dealing with smaller regular aliens. By itself the Sectopod is only a heavily armored wall of HP, and one that can be ground down in a single turn by a well equipped squad. The basics of killing any hard target apply here; use shredder attacks first, holo-targeting if you have it, bluescreen rounds work wonders, but other than that just count how many shots you have on target and figure out if you have enough damage to kill it in one round.

If I remember right, chicken legs are better for running and sprinting, while our legs are better for standing, and simply walking long stretches of land, since when ya extend your knee fully it locks in place, rather than having to use constant force like chicken legs do. Though calling them back facing knees aren't really true, what you think is the knee of the sectopod is actually the ankle  The yellow in this is actually the knee

Well, clearly we captured the top secret ADVENT project simply known as "Crazy Legs". That's the only explanation I can come up with for what happened.

The leg's seem like the hidden object to handle the corpse, like how World of Warcraft has millions of invisible bunnies that die to handle event triggers. Just you managed to make it visible somehow.

Since you mentioned crit chances above 100%: Warframe goes ahead and lets things 'redcrit', where the critical multiplier is applied again. But since some guns have a multiplier greater than 2... Well, I know one guy who ended up with a 205% crit chance and 4.4x multiplier on a gun. So it always did at least 19.36x damage, with a 5% chance to bump that up to 85.184x damage. This was exactly as hilarious as it sounds.

Jake needs to fix his game, Flamethrowers have been bugged since release and can only panic mind controlled Xcom soldiers.
