    Bio: Alex is a medical student from a poor family living in USA. He joined the army after some training to be a field medic in order to pay for his future tuition. While he was situated in Iraq, a UFO abduction in the United States caused his uncle, who raised him, to go missing along with other people.

Partly because of his conscience, and partly because he saw the aliens as the culprits that took his uncle away from him, he signed up with the XCEF initiative. It also helps that although he has an aversion to shooting at people, that does not extend to aliens at all.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Woo, more medics. Lord knows that we definitely need more of them, especially since we tend to get horribly ganked whenever the enemies fire at us...

[Toaster]

Clearly we need more Suppression.

[FelixSparks]

I'm not very good at my job. I'm sorry.

[Toaster]

Well, -15 hit on a single target is probably less effective than just shooting the bastard at this point.

Though that reminds me of a question.

GM:  Does Suppressing a target invoke reaction fire?  Do we have to aim it at an alien or can it be aimed at a square between two?

[GiglameshDespair]

Suppression does not provoke reaction fire. It must be aimed at an alien.

Suppression reduces the aim of all aliens (or operatives) caught in it, but it will only allow a free attack against the targeted alien if it moves.

I dunno about XCEF, but Suppression's fairly useless in XCOM since it wastes a lot of ammo.

[GiglameshDespair]

Suppression is the tool of the gods on higher difficulties. It used a lot of ammo, but it's better than a dude with a full mag getting capped in the face.

Some people swear by it.

I am not one of them.

[Parsely]

*starts Impossible Ironman*

30% shot or suppression?

Suppression.

[GiglameshDespair]

Update on the 20th, probably.

[Tiruin]

Hee! Objective is being silly
That's only in the early game, and even then! Very useful when you've got enemies in the open (ie Explosive > Their cover) and in various situations.

...Especially for me who plays on Impossible because stubborn >_>
...Is pretty fun.
Dear goodness is Suppression needed. It is REQUIRED.
But what really is required are actions which equal double attacks. Hit and Run and Double Tap. Oh dear goodness those lifesavers (or Overwatch abilities like Opportunist).

[Toaster]

You have three open inventory slots that you might want to put ammo and/or grenades in.

[Remalle]

Done.  Thanks for the reminder.
