2 archangel sinpers with plasma rifle 2 shoot literally everything ( including the flying and the ground robot ), considering that you get 2 shoots each turn with the final ability... yeah. If that wasn't enough they also offered you enemy AI mind fuck with the jet packs and a solid 3 + health bar with titanium armor on the rest of the squad. Every mission now is basically "get enemy in the range of the sniper, kill enemy, advance, repeat". I still need jets to shut down the UFO's and I'm "farming" resources for those but i fell like the game is beaten now expect for last mission. Is that any good ? Is it worth to keep playing a few more hours to get to it ? | ||

Went too early to attack alien base and suffered heavy casualties although I did clear it, my Coloner Sniper is only one of my original soldiers remaining now. Whats really fucking me up though is not being able to shoot UFO's down for a long time now, I can handle ground missions even when outgunned but I just don't have firepower in the air, still stuck with Ravens for now and they just don't cut it. Need to get couple Firestorms out soon, not sure if even they're outdated once I got them ready. | ||

You just need to give them at least laser cannons and use the boosts for hitting and dodging. With a bit of luck you will win. When you get access to plasma cannons give them that. Problem with Firestorm is that if takes up queue and you cannot build satellites in that time. Takes too long to build one Firestorm for each area. | ||

I found it disappointing that the most difficult part of the game is surviving long enough to work up a good squad and launch satellites in key areas, and then the rest of the game is a cakewalk. | ||

Abduction Missions no longer happen if you shoot every Abductor class UFO down, which requires global scanning coverage and fighter coverage of course. My normal playthrough ended with me losing most of my top team due to carelessness and having to "farm" UFOs to rank up my newbies. I had coverage on all remaining countries, the hyperwave scanner thing and more money and resources than I could use. In the many months I had to fastforward through, I never had a single abduction mission, but lots of UFO crash missions from crashed Abductor UFOs. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Inching my way forward, trying to stay out of the vision range of the ethereal that I totally know is in the back of the room. Second last guy runs in to cover and fuck, the ethereal spots him and summons in a shitload of mutons and I only have one guy with any actions left. Who turns out to be my sniper, hanging way the fuck back. The only enemy he can see is the ethereal. Headshot followed by a double-tap shot ended that fight before it could even start. Guess it's time to try Impossible... | ||

first had a guy fall through the floor so i couldn't rez him. that didn't matter because soon enough the game would hang when it was the aliens' turn to move. i've also had a ton of sniper battle scanners fall through the floor. man wtf. and that camera control is awful too. so many times i try to move on top of a truck or something and they just end up sprinting without cover. | ||

Basically, I have three squad compositions: Early Game: 2 Heavy 1 Sniper 1 Assault 1 Support 1 Sniper/Assault/Support (depending on what is available) The heavies are needed to provide the firepower when chryssalid or muton swarms come knocking. The main priority is to get a leveled-up sniper, followed by an assault. The ultimate goal is to have two snipers with squadsight and double-tap, an assault with lightning reflexes, and a support-medic with 3x medikit with 8HP/10HP heal. Capture: 2 Assault 2 Support 1 Sniper 1 Heavy The basic set up is to have the assaults flank the target under cover, while the supports provide smoke grenade support, and the sniper with disabling shot gives an extra turn to approach the target. Been working like a charm so far. End-game composition: 1 Assault 2 Sniper 1 Support 1 Heavy 1 Support/Assault (personal pref) Assault is a scout with maxed out defensive abilities. Two snipers with double-tap and squadsight. Support medic specialist. Heavy with rocket upgrades and heat. One final soldier to shore up any weakness you might have. For the final mission, I had a psi-specialist support trooper with a scoped plasma rifle and medikits. | ||

This is funny, though i assume it is some kind of parody, or nerdbaiting? I am pretty sure that if you really are that stupid, you die of asphyxiation because you forget to breathe. | ||

Or he is autistic. I think he just has some form of high functioning autism. | ||

I mean, he sounds way too much like Mr. Plinkett to not be a parody... | ||

So if he is making parodies or trolls, why would he take them down? Nope, this is real believe it or not. | ||
