mmm not sure exactly how this works but, i have aborted the mission once, i tried tactic after tactic after tactic to try and get by eem, but they kept mowing me down, so in the end i just aborted the mission. It dissapeared off the geoscope for a while, then came back again l8r, so i hoped it would b setup differently, but alas no, it was exactly the same. I havnt tried sending in cannon fodder tho, ill give it a bash l8r, owts worth a try

this isnt actually the last mission, its the mission where you need to pick up the box from the alien base to learn the physics of getting to the moon. and yea ive tried it with more psi blokes before, ive had upto 3 of em on psi with heroic or excellent psi abilty. the prob is like i said before, i get hit by 8 rets BEFORE i move, i.e as soon as the mission starts 8 rets are on me. If i had chance to fan out and take cover that wouldnt b half as bad and id b able to take it steady 1 at a time, but that isnt posiible, i have no choice but to enter a full on fire fight right away :/

well, ive just tried the retribution mission for the 2nd time. this time i had 3 blokes in heavy armour carrying 2x gat gun 1x dbmg 3 blokes with accuracy internationals, and 1 bloke with psi projector. Again, soon as the level starts 8 rets, 3 rockets, 2 psis 1 collapsleble plasma and a couple i wernt sure of . i tried to kill the rocket fellas 1st , but they all got a shot off before i killed em, = 3 blokes dead, then bloke with plasma kills 2 more before i can kill him, last 2 were then trying to deal with last 4 rets with next to no health, lasted bout 5 secs after that. And all this is before i even move an inch, in fact i didnt even try to move at all , just aimed at the rets from the start of the mission. That is absolutely impossible, completely ruined the game for me, im either now gonna uninstall it or use god mode just to see wat endings like. i plummed all my hope on the gatling guns doing the business for me, but even with 3 of i was fucked from the first minute. wat a bag o shite

yet to get 1 i did russia ages, ago, im just buildinglevels now so i can reattempt the mission impossible that is retribution mission. A couple of gats would be nice and handy

i love it anytime anyone mentions xcom, ppl straight away are quick to say its nothing to do with ufo that may be so, officialy, but we all know without xcom this game wulda been soooooooooooooo different

my entire team is equipped in bio armour, yet it makes no diff, your squad doesnt even have to move an inch, right form the start anything up to 9 rets are aimin at ya with a combination of rockets, collapsable plasmas, micrslugs and warp weapons. i fail to see a way past it

no worries there m8, a new ship will land in no time , and youll get the swame message as before saying you shuld capture this ship to help us with our research blah blah blah!!!. How do i know? because my first attempt, i got seriously creamed on it, so from now on i wont touch it till im much, much ,much higher level

Try this one!! just attempted the mission to nick the retribution ufo. As SOON as i start the mission, i counted 9 aliens , 3 behind me holding psi and microslugs, 2 far away instantly firing rockets at my team, and and the other 4 dotted round randomly firing plasma and psi attacks. ive tried upteen amounts of combos, snipers= dead in 2 or 3 seconds, psi attacks, dandy, problem is theirs 7 others to control once my 2 psi blokes have got 2 of em = dead in bout 5 or 6 secs, tried heavy armour and collapseble mg = dead before i can even set it up!! and theirs no point runing from the rockets , cos the others just take me down whilst im running. its taken a couple of weeks, but the game is really starting to become tediously boring now

nope, dont work, i tried that tactic of getting my blok to cover a door, then taking a shot at it so he can get in firing position, but as soon as he has shot, he dissasembles the gun :/ railgun = useless!!!

har, thats a good tactic, cos last few base missions, ive basically had to lay ambushes , because the rets have been kickin my ass , so if i set my fella up and shot at the florr guarding a 1 way in room, PARTY time

is their a way u can set up the gun before firing? because, normally when i see a target at aim at him, my guy has to dismount it 1st then fire, and normally hes been hit a few times by then

ya, but ur guy moves soooooooooooooo slow, and takes 3 weeks to set the gun up ready to fire. I tried it in 3 missions, and in all that time he only got off 1 attack at an alien, all the other times my other guys wasted it before he had chance to fire (mind you it did 2500 damage when it did hit ) not useful enough imo. im waiting for the gatling gun, how you get that? does it come4 from taking over a base?

yay, it started working, she musta just needed practice with it or somthing the thing i like to do is control em make em drop their gear then run em around spotting other aliens and do the same, trying to get at the bloody microslug carriers!! another thing, ive got a couple of microslugs in my armoury, but no ammo, where do i get ammo? is it an alien power pak? because thats stil in my "not able to develop yet" list ???

ive just finished the russia mission, and got myself a psi projector, i equipped it to a soldier with heroic psi power. How do i actually control the aliens? i attack them with the projector but at the moment it just deals bout 200 damage to them, and it runs out of ammo fairly sharpish. Can u only control reticulans, or can you control transengants aswell? because i think i may have only targetted trans with it so far!!

you dont, just put one in ur hands, then choose the attack option on the bottom right console , or press "a" and then choose your target. KABOOOOM
