ADVENT MECs. Cue ADVENT kinetic strike modules.

But what if you put kinetic strike modules on your swords instead?

Top-tier melee weapon upgrade: robotic exoskeleton with a miniaturized kinetic strike module/pile bunker mounted on the arm.

This thread is not for the disparagement of NewCom and reminiscence of OldCom. It is not for OpenXCom, Xenonauts, or any of the other purist projects.

I get it. OldCom is a cult classic and its most ardent supporters feel the need to bring down any Firaxis project that is not a purely graphical recreation of an OldCom game. I don't care. In only ten pages there have been two or three fights over this, and that's just bad.

This thread exists for the discussion of the new X-Com game. If you're here to talk about how much you're against NewCom and to reminisce about OldCom or the other successor projects, save it. Make your own thread. This game clearly isn't for you.

VIGILO CONFIDO, XENOS-LOVERS! ADVENT = McX-COM CONFIRMED CONFIRMED CONFIRMED CONFIRMED

You naysayers said Bioshock, you said Syndicate, you said new IP, but you were wrong! Dead Wrong. Are you ready to commit interstellar hate crimes against all other forms of intelligent life? You wouldn't be here otherwise!

There is NO information, there is NO hope, but there is X-Com, and that's all you really need, baby!

The old thread is dead, long live the thread!

Looks mediocre. I saw someone pull out a sword and look like an action RPG star and was immediately turned off.

Also, why are you shooting security/government personnel? Renegade hero cliche much?

Pass, much like the first game. I still don't see why they can't just fucking remake apocalypse with a beast graphics engine.

[Chiefwaffles]

I way prefer this over an Apocalypse remake. Apocalypse was a rather mediocre game in my opinion.

To each their own, I guess.

This was covered. Extremely so. And it's nothing like "Renegade hero cliché".

For the same reason that the French Resistance fired at the lawful German occupiers, I imagine.

[Egan_BW]

And some degree of xenophobia.

[IronyOwl]

And some degree of xenophobia.

Yeah, French Resistance.

Because said security/government personnel are working for the aliens that massacred civilians and abducted them for horrific experiments, and now that the aliens are in control that likely means said security/government personnel help do so, albeit with less massacre. Even if these are just average Joes just trying to keep the peace, you can't overthrow the bad guys without hurting a few good guys working for them.

Unless arc throwers are back.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was hoping for Apocalypse as well.

[Jacob/Lee]

Unless arc throwers are back.

We'll probably be back to cattleprods stun batons like X-COM: UFO Defense.

Heh, I do hope they do that.

@Aedel
I was hoping for Apocalypse's faction system.  But this rebel thing seems cool too.  Makes more sense than TFTD did, at least...
(I hope there'll be an OpenXCOM mod for TFTD where you have unlimited heavy plasma and blaster bombs for overwater battles)

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, there's nothing in nuCOM quite like that feeling you got sending in the rookies dual-wielding the pistol/cattleprod combo as stormtroopers. Sort of a mix of evil overlord satisfied cruelty and outright elation when they actually stunned something and survived.

[Sheb]

It would be nice if you could capture ADVENT troopers and brainwash convinced them to join XCOM.

Does that mean we get to try out pick up lines on Sneks?

[Gunner-Chan]

Suddenly.

Babby snaks.

Thousands of them.
