What happened to fivth. if thats how u spell it 5th

Gfx card tweakers normally have options to increase th eperformance orthe quaility depending on ur fancy. I dunno the Radeon uses in this regard as i have a GForce 3Ti, but my gfx tweaker (RivaTuner) lets me crank detail up.

Not a bad idea. Couple of tiny forseeable problems but worth a shot. I'll give it a try but might take lill while.

Sounds fine by me also. + it will be the visitors of this site who decide to d/l an use that wallpaper, so its really best that they vote for them.

Click on the competition button on main site an follow the guidelines, email is there.

Uzis r ammo proper ammo hogs, i EQed 3 of my team in the beginning missions for a practice run an all 3 ran outa ammo before i finished mission. They were on burst like

I just done the retribution mission again an had 0 thats ZERO rocket aliens. just had a couple of collapsable guns insteed :hmmm:

Also though u can abort the mission whenever u feel like it an any troopers alive, half alive or nearly dead will all be saved. U lose the mission like but keep ur guys alive. Bit stupid if u ask me really.

Ok now i am the dumbass

Think ur poll options r unfair an all u seem to say is that slow is BAD. i go very slow on my missions, using methods of scout ambush an crossfires. But inside bases i go fast with my close range guys an have no problems.

I've been running a couple of test missions on this for bout a week now an best way i found for myself is to only take 3 troopers with fast run speed an MP7's then fire an move. I managed to get all 3 inside but only killed 3 aliens. Problem been is this took me 7 attempts to get that far so maybe a better tactic is needed

nice lill explot, gonna have to try that 1 outmyself

shrapnel where did u read that the res can be changed from 1024x768?? Probly some dumb ass that does'nt know wtf there on about. And like Skeelo says the directors cut does'nt save replys, all it does is spin around the aliens when u see them an weird stuff like that.

What i find most funny is that u can abort a mission smack in the middle of combat. There is no transport to run like hell to like X-COM, so that to me is kinda dumb. Different troop transports woulda been nice but only a mod can fix that lill hitch.

Yea the Retribution mission has been a problem for many players so far, with each making different tactics an stratgys up to work for them. U can look at what each player has put down in the other retribution topic somewhere, but other players tactics don't always work for ur own game its bestto try different ways to attack the mission. Some like myself just make a dash for the entrance an hope luck gets u through (lost 5 troopers doing this :hmmm: ) while others make a stand an fight. Others cheat, some save/reload a lot. Just try an find something u can do urself, takes time but its better than cheating :alien2:

Read the competition rules its all in there

Retribution is indeed random, mine was in Argentina. Although when ur on the mission (an any other alien base mission) look a the foliage at the side of the map thats not covered by the ship. Its always the same, not complaining like but suppsoe to be different foliage :dontgetit:

THats only half the prob. U want to have good effienacy v the aliens with shields on u take a look at the shield stats when its researched, THEN pick ur weapons for ur squad. Depending on mission depends on what kind of aliens ur liking to be facing, jsut take whats most effective vs there shields. Simple really.

Only thing i found with the greys is that they can use the alien wepaons that humans cannot, they tend to be very fast an keen observers so training them up in certain areas as scouts or bait can be useful in certain areas.

Yea thats true, 1 time i left troopers along the route i was gonna take back to the extraction point, an had a few aliens pop there heads up to the guys stationed there. ???

Indeed, as incompacitating the aliens comes before killing it so bound to get a little more exp. I often take a 4/5 man squad now as i find it easyier to use than a full squad. Hows ur brother game doing on hard now Pete?

Well i have a screenshot of an old attempt at that mission where i blew a section ofthe wall out so i could run like hell to the enter base area. my 1st guy is almost dead an there r 3 MORE rockets alrdy heading in his direction, this jsut is overkill an thats from 3 aliens with rockets. I don't have a place where i can post a link to pictures so if anyone can for me then let me know an i'll send u the piccy its only small like. But u'll see my point with multiple rocket aliens. And if i can drag myself away from this forum i will put to praccy another taccy idea i've got.............if that is

And about 500 reloads of a saved game too i bet? :hmmm: Without losing a single guy, i don't beleave u! Simply because as soon as u start the mission i get alien spotted behind me then 1 to side so ur fireing at 2 targets, 2 turn into 4 for me an then rockets come into play. So try getting all 4 targets down fast with only 1/2 guys shooting them, no chance if u stay still an fight.

The missions should be more like X-COM's. Where u carry on till ALL aliens r dead or u want to abort the mission an have to get what is left of ur squad BACK to ur transport to get outa there, an none of this "KILL 3 transthingys for mission completed" wtf is that. everyone knows theres more aliens than that on any mission. :hmmm:

AN Multiplayer mod forthe game would be cool but begs the question. How is it gonna work? Will it be 1 players game in the geoscape an players just log onto a mission, or will it be like a skirmish type game with u having a choiec on how good ur trooper is? WIll it be where everyone has there own team an goes for the aliens or some players as aliens vs the humans??? Hows it gonna work. Ur thoughts people.
