While I agree with the xcom was better, for the way soliders went in and caskets came out quite fast, but towards the end I did have my elite squad. when someone died it hurt, a lot. With AL I dont think it means one death restart, and perhaps death is a bit more far fetched than in xcom. Even then due to training you can refill spots "lost" in combat. I dont know how many men you can take into a mission (7?) but with 30 to fill in spots... I think we should have plenty. F3

Well i guess we dont have very much longer to wait now do we..... good thing i have my laptop good to go so i can take it camping this weekend.... LOCK AND LOAD (written with tears in my eyes) F3

Very nice indeed.... guess the longlivity of it will keep us playing for ages to come. Oh and I KNOW there will be many people who play just to see how much of the map they can destroy while in the progress of killing the aliens. As for his comment on the annoying things the squaddies say every time they are selected... I'm sure there is a way to turn it off in the final version... F3

Look at the moving on the new levles as the original games final missions, you need to raid the surface first then take out the cowards sitting inside. Also what i think they might have ment is that if you get two almost back to back missions you might end up with a half dead squad after the first one (and forgotten to get the recruits in training) and then the second mission is fairly well ummm yea you get the idea. Could be that the tester didn't like just having 7 men per mission, something i dont understand (still playing 6 man games with 3 man death squads). Just some more ideas... F3

Ok, so F3 is back from the dead..... (oops wrong place) No, you cant blow buildings up... and yes we will all miss it alot. and no its not going to kill the game. I imagine they found createfull ways around having fixed structures, basically assume they are black holes of the map, nothing goes out of them and nothing goes... in (ok yea not very black holeish). I think they decided not to include enterable buildings was so that the maps didnt have to be made HUGE to fit the proportions. Also if you cant go in, well its going to be frustrating to have a huge gap yet no way to walk into it, so they fixed it so you couldnt tear buildings down. Everything else gets vaporised just fine if you want. F3

These things just keep teasing me, i want it but its not here.... NOOO I want it now..... very nice article. Oh and jiri, he basically told us we get to use mutants :alien2: F3

A bit late but whatever, Boomer you do realise these are NOT the official forums? Tho I'm SURE slaughter is quite flattered anyway. F3

/agree with trance Ok now cleraing up on Xcom buisness 1- it is NOT officially an Xcom remake 2- they (jiri) have stated its not an xcom sequel 3- they (jiri) have stated that it mearly looks like xcom becuase they were fans of the game 4- we (me, Fqubed) have baptised as Xcom remade because it well looks like xcom remade (excellent logic you must admit) F3

Well thats a bit of an ejem stupid question isnt it Slaughter, If i were you try giong with Kazaa (simple to use and common enuf so you dont have to spend hours looking, and run it thru there) Oh and were is the line for DLs? F3

I imagine it would be eazy to implement, but this is really just one of those "candy" things they add in at the end. the real meal is the campaign like all other X-COM games..... oh wait this is not an X-COM game my bad But i dont think it will be to hard to have... F3

Baastian, the military expert of the site hehe Anyway nice stuff cant wait to get my hands on it..... F3

I think it was mentioned in the offical boards someware (or created in my mind) but you dont have a fully free floating camera, it has a set of "axes" it can move on, been really buisy on the home front so i dunno if they said anything recently srry. But you can zoom in and out and rotate to some degree around objects to get a better view. F3

IT IS!!!!!!! Well sort of, not officialy and only in the way that the devs have all played and loved (or so they proffess) all the other Xcom games... F3

Might be new on that site, alot of "new" pics are out that another site had with an interview and whatnot..... countdown is getting low.... only 3 months hehe F3

Cant wait, lets see on sept 12 im.... at work Oh wall guess i cant go on a 72 hour binge of UFO:A T3 is still a bit away til it goes in spain, but i hear its good, cant wait either F3

he (JR) didnt deny that UFOAM isnt part of the xcom series.... guess hes gotten tired by now. F3

"or something like that" Anyway as long as they arnt slacking off and they are working im all good. Also we should start a "who will beat the game in the least time" or "with the fewest men" contest..... F3

English zone............ ahhh you mean that insignficant little island were they speak that arcaic languige and use those funny mesurments, drive on the wrong side ect ect..... well i guess YOU might be there. F3

La resistencia siempre es util F3

So they did give us the replay option. So, Slaughter, are you going to be hosting the best of the best action scenes on this site?? F3 oh and its only 25pounds thats always a plus.

I dont think they gave clear cut answer on that, but im guessing they did interior testing/mindstorming and decided to make the game oriented to that number of troopers. Tho from what i gather you can take less if you want.... F3

Tisk tisk this is mostly a euro board and most of us.......... care, but i wont let this little comment throw me out into a spin of how important a game being succesfull worldwide is for the future of the franchise and possible expansions/addition/sequels. Instead ill ask a "real" question, "Are there plans for releasing other ermmm consumer goods, let me elaborate, will there be strategy guides that can be bought seperatly, also any plans on poster/T-shirts/caps (the KILL cap was a good idea)/plastic toys to fill our rooms? Perhpas in a collecters edition (spawns the question: will there be a collercters edition?) ??" F3

Never played AvP was always a doom/duke fan til unreal Tourn. As for Alien Movies, im all good for more hehe, i loved 1 and 2, 3 was ermmm best forgoten 4 was ok. The idea was good but it could have been better. If the director changes they all the more fun. F3

Well if were talking Xcom ala ufo defence then sure having men who could snipe cross screen with autofire was a turning point in the fights hehe. In apoc it became more problematic (enzyme rockes suck). Its all in the game balance we'll live with it F3

Well ya ammo and other logistical needs would have to be seen to. Tho in a .50 you're carrying a bit of ammo, these seem to be artillary shell type, so less ammo needed for the big bang (then again shells do weigh more.......) Here is something that reminds me.... RainBringer F3
