Mods will fix this obvious oversight. The collaborators will get theirs yet.

So that video, was it the first time they mentioned xcom being betrayed?

What video? I was attracted to this (very spammy verbose) thread by it's title. I mean the "fables" bit, not the X-COM bit, I follow that part.

This video:  http://xcom.com/news/what-happened-to-central-officer-bradford

That last question, "Can you do reverse terror missions?"

Ayy Qaeda denied.

Eh. Considering that the very first mission is you bombing a monument, I'd say it doesn't take a civvie-murdering to ayy quaeda.

E: After watching that vid: the 'betrayal' is explicitly stated to be the council shutting down XCOM, and I think they accidentally let slip one of the weapon tiers - magnetic - as well as the ol' lasers.

blargh rage

okay, bye.

I noticed the magnetic weapons thing too. Sounds like something interesting. Maybe they're trying LW's 4 tiers of weapons rather than 3.

Right now it looks like the weapons are going to be like this:

Ballistics -> Magnetic Weapons -> Plasma-Beam-Thingy Weapons (see Viper's gun in trailer)

blargh rage

okay, bye.

I was just clarifying something that you apparently didn't see in my post. But okay, sure, interpret it as rage?

Probably, or both LW and the Dev's are drawing from the Gauss weapons in TFTD.  That tree went standard-gauss-sonic, so it was still only 3.

You're right though, I think a lot of what they are doing is inspired by LW.

They explicitly mentioned Lasers too, and Viper has a plasma gun.

It'll probably be color-coded. Yellowish ballistics, blueish magnetics, red lasers and green plasma.

That sounds like an 80s band.

ADVENT has already been confirmed as using Gauss weapons.

You mean Mind Control Purple?

Y'know, the only major issue I have with the "Guerilla Warfare" thing XCOM 2 is gonna be doing is well...what is the end game gonna be like? I mean do you sorta transition back to XCOM 1 level resources throughout the game or what? How exactly does XCOM "win" in this scenario? Because it sure doesn't seem likely they'll full on kick the ayys out and pull the temple mission thing.

In one of the E3 interviews the guy there was asked about going into space with the Avenger.
I believe his words were "You may like what you see."

I can post the URL to the interview if anyone wants.
EDIT: As requested. It should start a tiny bit before the space thing is mentioned.

[My Name is Immaterial]

YES DO WANT

Well I'm not really a fan of the 'you lost' plot, and the gameplay trailer didn't show anything that wowed me (except a snake-tongue that needed balancing), but hell they are going the 'full mod support' route, so I'm still optimistic.

Going and fucking up the ayy's supply lines or something & thereby cutting off everything on earth does seem like a path to 'victory'.
Or building up a grass-roots revolt country-by-country, kinda like the opposite of what happened in the first game.
Maybe both- you build up your allies & once you've got world-wide support the final battle is cutting off the supply & watching as the humans retake their planet.

Or of course they could just use some deus ex machina to genocide the aliums.
