I really hope the fifth class isn't psi, I liked how psi was a subclass.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I'm already expecting to dislike the third class, as it is probably psi (which should be a subclass) or hybrids (which should also be a subclass, and also VIGILO CONFIDO SHED THE BLOOD OF XENOS). What I'm hoping is that it's some kind of pure psionic adept, but the subclass remains for other classes.

There will be a Gamespot stream of XCOM 2 at 11.00 AM PDT (that is 18 hours and ~20 minutes from now) at http://www.gamespot.com/e3/gamespot-stage-day-3/ .

Psy has been an overlay in every xcom game so far, I'm not sure why they'd change it to a dedicated class.  And I think if Grenadier was intended to include machine guns, they might have called it something else.

Since one class has a sword as a secondary weapon, I'm wondering if that is a common thing -- like we might see guys packing RPGs or AT4s as secondary items.  No more rocketeer as a primary, now anyone can use a disposable rocket as secondary?

What other "special" characters could they bring in?  Officers / Leaders as sort of a buffing class? 

I still feel like there is a gap.  Even with a recon team, someone has the SAW.  And if this does not exist as an optional accessory, I am sure as **** going to find a way to mod it in:

Why not a android class or a alien hybrid class? Or a cyborg class?

[KingofstarrySkies]

Where the fluck would XCOM get that tech? I'm honestly just hoping we get a MEC still.
AND WHY WOULD THEY HAVE AN ALIEN HYBRID

Because setting. (and we already have multiple alien hybrids)

We almost had alien hybrids in the first game but they were cut for time.

I take this game as being KIND OF in the time line of pre-apocalypse... just about there.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Yes, but surely having an alien class is detrimental to the organization dedicated to stopping the aliens.

[Digital Hellhound]

Alien hybrid. It's part-human, that part might be brought around to your side. You can distrust it and all, would still make a good infiltrator.

[scrdest]

Or, in fact, alien defectors, perhaps.

[EnigmaticHat]

You can fight the alien faction without fighting all aliens in general.

All the aliens in the previous game where on the same side because they were all part of the invading force.  If that ceased to be true... well.  Its the future, no need to be caught up with the grudges of the past.

I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about XCOM, not mewing and whining about our alien loving sympathies.  Where did all these green blooded collaborators come from?

[miauw62]

If the secret class is a hybrid, you can probably expect a lot of people doing "pure" runs

We were indeed talking about XCOM, who are well-versed in underhanded tactics and don't have compunctions about using enemy strengths against them. What we're not talking about is the Imperium of Man.
