down a planter and the capture it, easy peasy Edit @ rezaf

Sleeplessone you CPU is not designed to be FORCED to run that slow just the same as overclocking, slowing the CPU down that much is not a feature of the cpu it's no SUPOSED to be able to do it. and by doing it you invalidate any warranty you have on it. I've worked on tech support for PCs and believe me people screwing around with things like this can end in disaster and all i could do was refer them to thier warranty saying they have altered the operation of thier machine beyond it's intended use. As a result has damaged some of the hardware which we cannont be held responsable for. it's works just don't be suprised IF your cpu gets damaged :angel:

if you look at the bottom right of the interface you got a bunch of buttons for walk/run, crouch etc 1 is move, click then then you can rightclick over the alien, once stood over them go into your inventory and you'll see the alien/mutant on the list of objects on the floor drag it into your hands

if you use ANY program to underclock your cpu as low as some old games require you risk damaging your cpu. just a fair warning

it was x-com enforcer the arcade game and i never even blinked at it. i do remember seeing x-com: alliance and wish it could have been finished, i wanted nothing more than to walk up to a sectoid in UFO:EU in firest person and blow his brains out

a sniper with heroic marksmanship and aliens skills can take down most things beforethe get into range

that list of stuff goes into the chopper, if you hadn't recieved the message saying the chopper has returned then you won't hvae the weapons yet, even in a base capture mission you hvae to wait for the chopper returned message.

simply put: hard ammo is as you say higher caliber weapons mainly armour piercing, now as it says on some of the autopsies on the aliens some of them are pretty soft and they don't feel pain so what use is blasing a little hole the size of an acorn in 1 if it aint gonna feel it? It'll just keep coming at you. Thats what sift ammo is for which is probably hollow tipped bullets, hollow tip is designed to do max damage to unarmoured or soft targets, as on the bullet leaving the other side it creates alot of pressure and blows a massive hole out the back. Against an armoured target soft ammo is just going to bounce off. so there is a reason to have several types of damage in your squad. Aliens that use sky armour are weakest to conventional weapons, hard, soft or universal. Aliens that use sun armour are weakest to energy weapons, burn, laser, plasma etc. so chose your weapons/targets carefully depending on the situation

it's not turnbased combat it's realtime you just have the option to pause, and it does take time for someone to fall to the ground if they are injured

rave use heavy armour, they should be able to withstand 2-3 rocket hits. even just keeping 1-2 heavy guys up front for when they launch a rocket at them it will do some damage but not kill them and give you enough time to take the alien down

heavy armour is very good vs rockets it's the mond control thats a pain in the ass, it's ok with you can get the alien using mind control fast enough. You have a few secconds to take him down if you don't you have one of your own squad blasting the crap out of you. it's funny when they take control of a guy with a striker tho they just switch to burst mode and it's game over, really runny to watch tho Sindre, i really can't remember when biomass research starts, with 32 bases i take it you have done area 51, but have you done the stalingrad base mission? and can you see any biomass on the world map?

if your having problems now your gonna REALLY struggle towards the stalingrad mission. most of the aliens are using laser weapons right? you using armour thats resistant to laser damage? use alien laser rifles cuz thier range rocks and don't go directly towards the target area, look for places that won't give the enemy chance to ambush you. most smgs tear through aliens with or without sun armour the shear rof is enough to take them down fast. use grenades when you know an alien is there but can't see it. don't give them ANY chance to take advantage of you, soo many times i've been ambushed by them and i could have avoided it simply by taking a different route or walking instead of running. i try to think like i'm playing ravenshield (Rainbow 6 game) there 1 false move and your entire team gets wiped out. And the planning interface is kinda similer in the way you can queue waypoints/orders including grenade throwing etc.

well i'm that exact stage right now only problem is the frikkin aliens are using mind control on me ???

i'm sure it says somewhere about planters holding the nodes ready to be placed, tried shooting down a planter and capturing it?

you use heavy armour? i tried it on once and never looked back ??? too slow unless i would be using somekind of uber gatlin cannon
