Shut up and take my money.

An update of the XCOM 2

new enemy unit:

What I've learnt from XCOM 1, they just changed the terrain, the monster's type and position for each stage. That's it.

So much for the game experience.

Am looking forward to this. Been playing XCOM Enemy Within on my tablet for sometime to catch up all the essential elements. (P.S. It's teeth grinding playing in Tablet due to graphic and performance)

ADVENT’s advanced technology has yielded a new unmanned threat in XCOM 2, Commander: the Sectopod. It’s an incredibly mobile, bipedal robot that is quite advanced when compared to the initial Sectopods seen in the first war. And, like other robotic units (such as the MEC and Andromedon), it is immune to fire, poison and mental attacks. Psi Operatives, take note!


Dangerous area-of-effect and focused attack capabilities make the Sectopod a formidable foe to all of XCOM. Its Lightning Field attack, automatically triggered once an enemy comes into melee attack range, emits a forceful blast in a circular area surrounding the unit. Its Wrath Cannon is an extremely high-energy weapon that deals damage in a long line, and can penetrate multiple targets, but must be charged first. When you see its emitters charging, run and hide!


The Sectopod is at its most dangerous when in High Stance mode – the Sectopod extends its legs and stands two stories tall, providing improved range and weapon reach. We should also note that buildings won’t necessarily protect you from the Sectopod, as it’s fully capable of simply walking through any obstacle in its path.

Guys do I need to finish enemy within to know the story?

not really. EW had only a few 'story-missions' and some new enemies as well as tech/skills u can research / equip your squad. But these do not seem very relevant in XCOM2.

I did finish the original xcom so does it carry over the save to the enemy within and will that save be carry over to xcom2.

no it does not.

I'm pretty sure you can't because it's not the same game. Enemy Within was actually a DLC to the base game, Enemy Unknown.

so basically this is same game as xcom 1 but better graphic?

Did you watch the gameplay or not?

anyone getting this game via Steam?

If you are, anywhere to check how big the game file is?

you wont know the actual size to dl till preload is up.

However on steam page requirements shows 45gb hard disk.

Enemy Within/Unknown will have very little to do with Xcom 2 sorry. Why? Because for Xcom 2, the backstory basically puts you in a position where xcom 1 forces has all died.

Also for those saying xcom 2 = xcom 1 with better visuals, lol you all cannot be more wrong. Please don't simply assume. There are TONS of gameplay changes and balances, that alone already refines the combat to new heights in xcom 2. The story is also a lot more engaging this time, not like a side thing in xcom 1.
