Pete Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I've just started again on Hard setting with the 1.2 patch. I went to take a new base from the transgenants. I cleared the outer area and proceeded to the interior. Here's where it gets interesting!... I set my waypoints throughout the base interior and... wait for it... MY MEN ALWAYS STAYED TOGETHER EVEN IN CONFINED CORRIDORS! *Victory music plays in background* They didn't once decide to split up all on their own and head down different corrdors. Anyone want to confirm that this wasn't just a fluke? I'd do it myself but I rounded a corner into a Ballon Fish at point-blank range... They truly are the Aftermath equivalent of X-COM Apocalypse's Poppers. Wiped out all four of my men when I... erm... shot the helium-filled git! Anyway - anyone notice an improvement in pathfinding or is it just me on this one base layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 No, I think you are right Pete. Seemed to be much better. And it was very nive to get an overview of base types as well. And GAMMA!!! I can see the inside of bases now . But WHO found out it was a good idea to popup the squad screen everytime you take a new mission? I'd like to torture him a bit...

NandP Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 hello, this is my first post on these forums. Ive been viewing everyones post for awhile now. I got the game on release and totally love it. Almost as addicting as x-com ufo defense. I was really hoping for base building.........but its still cool. i have a query....... Im really happy theres a new patch for the game, but if i install it will it mess with my current saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quasarstrider Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Yeah, they should make the squad screen popup optional at least. I guess that guy was some moronic die hard X-COM player or something. I liked it better like it was, I equiped them if required before going to the mission and they were ready when they reached the spot.In X-COM you constantly had to change the equipment placement when doing a mission, very annoying. ???

Sinai Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Aye, one of the few things I think are a great improvement over the original is improved inventory management so you don't have to spend so much damn time in the loadout screen.
