Can't wait! Naming all my first few batches of squad mates after people I dislike. =P
LOL. Hint of advice... level people up, then swap them out for some Rooks. You will lose people. Don't take your best on every mission.
have you guys been able to keep all your countries unpanicked in the early game? is it even possible? about 2 hours in i lost like 3 countries. can you get them back somehow after losing them or is it just a hard choice thing?
Just a hard choice. First things I did:
Build more power.
Build a med pack.
Build a Satellite.
Seems even the people further along have lost 1-4 nations. Just focus on keeping the rich ones and the ones with the good perks.
There's a lot of love and attention to detail with this game. I love it.
Also, my entire family are KIA
Lost a few family members in the Tutorial stages alone. Sheesh! Loving it so far.
Jesus. Lost in month 3 :/
Sucks too.
Month 1: A
Month 2: C
Month 3: OH FUCK.
What mode are you playing on? I always start a new game on Normal then work my way up.
Classic. I was doing great. Almost had a Corporal sniper. Then things just go to shit lol. Lost an escort mission and my fucking rookie shot my sniper :/
I just finished Month 1 on Normal/Ironman with an A. I had to take a break just because I have this unshakable feeling that very very soon... it is all going to come crashing down. Africa is starting to get pretty upset with me, as is Canada. Fuck em. Germany, US and France got my paychecks flowing still. This game is just a blast. I am loving it. I feel like I may be screwing myself in the base with my decisions... but in missions I do alright by following this simple formula:
1) Hunker Down!
2) Patience
3) Keep that Sniper escorted
3) NEVER EVER EVER EVER DASHING!
So scared.
Today was the worst day of the world's collective lives. The A-Team consisting of Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, Charlie Sheen, and Uncle Ruckus met their untimely end to a bunch of communist aliens.
My sister in law was hanging out tonight, named a character after her right at the beginning. She died in the first mission she was in, caught a blast to her head from a Thin Man. She was sad. She tried to get me to name another character after her. I politely explained to her that that would be the same as cheating. Still sad.
In one of my games I got to month 3 and Mutons showed up... And I was still rocking fkn ballistics. SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED.
Won my first multiplayer match last night lol.
My team:
Sniper with Skeleton armor and Plasma Sniper Rifle
Muton Elite
2 Floaters
VS
2 Muton Elites
1 Assault
Lost both floaters to overwatch
Did 5 damage to one of his elites with a grenade. He chased me into the open I sniped his Xcom unit. I moved to the corner of the map and grappled to the top of a truck. He killed my elite and then closed in on my sniper. He tossed a grenade which did not hit nor did it set the truck I was on fire. I used headshot on the first Muton which was 100% 100% and killed him from 15HP to 0. Apparently I had double tap and shot the other one that was in the open for a 95% shot and 75% crit. BAM. Some how won lol.
wow my game is massively fucked right now.
finished a mission, game froze two times trying to click on barracks. then i tried clicking on other stuff and when i got to hangar, i'd get a small VO cutscene for a job well done by the NPCs, and then the game would just stay in the hangar with no UI overlay. just zoomed into the ship room with music and nothing else, and it keeps happening.
That's really weird...
i just ran the integrity check and it said one file failed to validate so it's reinstalling it. hopefully it works.
