The point is that they weren't trying to make it X-COM. Now, let us never speak of 2K's abomination again.

Sorry, but this is the thread for it. If you don't like it, that's your problem.

No it isn't. The Bureau's thread is here.

[Krevsin]

Curses, you ninja'd my edit. 

[umiman]

Seriously, why are you guys discussing the Bureau in this thread?

Because it is the only X-Com related page on the first page and nobody bothers to do a search?

Wait, I'm confused now. I thought Firaxis and 2K were part of the same thing, and he was referring to Mass Effect in response to someone talking about the Enemy Within DLC interview?

BTW, Enemy Within is not The Bureau.

[Krevsin]

Just because they are a part of the same corporation(thing) does not mean they are the same developer.

[WillowLuman]

Well someone was talking about Enemy Within, then someone responded by saying "it's too Mass Effect," apparently talking about The Bureau.

I'm still betting they'll do a full language/accents DLC at some point. It'd make sense, not be all that expensive to do, and probably sell quite well. The only thing that really surprises me is that it, or a map pack, haven't shown up as DLC before EW was announced.

Still, happy to have at least some actual language options.

I have to wonder: in terms of unit roles, what's really the difference between a Mechtoid and a Sectopod? Seems both would be heavily armed and armored tank units, with Mechtoids just being psi-able. Maybe they're weaker but more mobile?

Possible. Either that, or they're packing more heat along with being a bit more delicate than a sectopod, which I find unlikely.

Also, if I understand correctly mechs will be able to punch them aliums for massive damage.

[CognitiveDissonance]

My personal guess is that they are going to be early "terror weapon" variants, probably melee similar to Reapers.

[WillowLuman]

Reapers?

[CognitiveDissonance]

Reapers?

Ah yes, Reapers.
Those things were basically useless against my men in the original game.
