Quite nice the demo

Change the ini to classic

Only used up all the medi-packs

But all my guys survived on first try

Will enjoy having the full game on oct 12

you can

you have two weapons

usually only snipers need to switch weapons to go overwatch with their pistols instead with their sniper rifles.

there are no cost involved.

Added on September 27, 2012, 10:12 amSilent Storm is fine as a game but it's AI is simply retarded.

They are basically zerglings with the similar tactics to make the game "difficult".

That's why some part of the game is simply ridiculous.

Also their characters don't have much of a personality too.

What I think Firaxis is trying is limiting the number of ways players can abuse or stress the game engine they are building on top off.

Simpler design helps to make more harder decisions obvious later on. Also important, it help players to understand faster what they can do and their options faster than 100-pages manual will do.

More importantly for modders, its helps them to learn the system/engine faster which make modding of anything sort easier

the first mod already came out,
it allows you to change the type of aliens on the second mission, the type of weapons you have (human, laser, plasma) and the difficulty the mission is on in a single screen.

the developers don't need to make an actual modding tool available for now.
While modding tools are helpful, their simple and good coding practices helps modders to figure out everything extremely fast

Unless you are really not patient

Then, you just use VPN from the 9th until 12th

their will detect your PC as from NA

confirmed the goodies

brb HotSpot Shield

will update will my feedback tonight

Lol in this xcom, if you play in classic difficulty, you will need two boxes of lube.


Just now, I play 4 hours of xcom eu.
Quite nice.
Economics now more important now. you WILL RUN OUT OF CASH VERY FAST. If you are not, you are playing it in baby's mode.
NO more russian rookies with grenade tactics anymore. every soldier is important. add to the fact that soldiers cost moolah, you will run out of fresh bodies fast .
I play only until third month, almost lost France and Nigeria.
Important tip, manage every single credit like it's your real saving account. Make every purchase count. DO NOT BUY SURPLUS ARMOR/GUNS/FACILITY. You will regret fast fast.
Officer school is very very important. Buy only squad and hospital upgrade there.


These tips applicable only for classic mode.
Cause there's no way to lose in easy mode. The developers practically guarantee God mode for your last soldier every single battle.

Added on October 10, 2012, 2:16 amOh yeah, additional note:

DO NOT INVADE ALIEN BASE UNTIL YOU WANT TO END THE GAME ALREADY
Make sure all six are taichou level and above.
My squad kena rogol puas puas by the 3 3-crysallid patrols in that base.
Also f*** cryssalid , they are damn dangerous and fast.


Oh yeah if you don't like the squaddie upgrade from rookie, remember to save before you complete every mission.
rookie upgrade to different classes only happens once you are back in the base.

Hmmm......
Did not realize giving common gameplay tips are called spoiling the game.
But whatever

Until then, I will let my posts remain as they were.

not exactly based on what I read in the internet.
but if you rushed into the base early in your gameplay with minimal firepower, armor and experienced troops,you will get raped in the base. Very very hard.

imagine going against crysallid in the original xcom with 14 troops with still beginning earth weapons.
now, imagine 6 troops going against 3 crysalllid appearing suddenly
imagine due to game mechanics, they get instant free one movement to get near your troops when you both meet.
remember you get only one action and one move per turn for each soldier.



in short,
prepare lots of lube

play in baby mode (easy)
sure win no matter what you do.
aliens' AI also goes from IQ 120 to 10

wait until friday lol.
I am continuing after work today.
I think of restarting my classic gameplay again
having half of my troops as high ranking supports is not that fun when i keep not getting the second sniper I need.

that's only if you truly sucks in tactics and strategy
and your most "brilliant' tactic is concentrate fire on every thing that hates you.
let's say that even if the RNG gods hate you, you still can win with good battlefield tactics with no casualty.
speaking as a person playing on classic difficulty now.

also, rockets are fun.

I see a brother with similiar thinking here

rookie = $40 000
high explosive = $1,500


alien equipment = $ 100,000-300,000


profit margin = (count yourself )

I love russian tactics of sending rookies arming with primed explosives rushing towards any alien they see.
make every map looks like hell in two or three turn.

I disagree with you
Must have more female customization

i bet RM50 with you that boob bouncing female models going to be among the first mods that going to come out within the next two months.
that and a keyboard hack to allow you to zoom closely into your base as console players can

Finally beat the game on classic difficulty
Did not lose any nations
But dead soldiers like telephone book lol cuz don't save often during missions.
nice.
will try again once more modding tools come online.
gooding ending too.
don't know why they don't like it.

here an general tip
smoke grenade are very important part of the support class.
use them when you take on more than three foes.

I figure that out only after I find out enemy just give up attacking you and retreat if all of your front-liners are in the smoke coverage

ahh i remember this one

veteran level terror missions from the month may can only be accomplished with at least 6 spotters rookies carrying primed high explosives.

Like I said, when you talk about lack of creativity, I think you should look at a mirror sometime.

Go for ironman.

play at classic ironman , see if you sien again
and don't install warspace. that's baby mode
