Xcom 2 Capture Or Kill
I’m on my second veteran playthrough, with ironman enabled. A mission has come up which is an eerily similar kill/capture VIP mission to one in my original campaign (which resulted in one of the Alien queens interfering and getting my entire squad captured, albeit with a dead VIP). XCOM 2 Reviews on OpenCritic Currently sitting at an average score of 91, with 94% of critics recommending the game. That puts it in the top 1.2% of all games reviewed. XCOM 2 early reviews are very good; Thread. Capture or kill dark vip - Extraction point is on top of high building (two story tall), vip and his car are literally next.
I had one of these events occur as a counter to an upcoming Dark Event. Sent my small Ghost Team in, but Very Light still turned out to be three pods that included an Archon and like 4+ Sectoids, so assassination was the only option.Long story short, you can still have comfort that that type of victory will still reap those results as far as countering the DE went, but as Arcalane stated you won't get any of the 'monetary' rewards. So it's definitely a matter of rolling a dice to get the right scenario.Don't believe there's any 'extra' reward for capturing. It's simply; capture for the win and the reward, or assassinate just for the win if you need it.

A lot of what made Long War 1 so impressive was that everything had to be done with a hex editor; with XCOM 2's modding tools, most of what Long War 1 added looks like it'll be able to be recreated easily right out of the box.So I don't think we'll see a Long War 2, not in that exact sense. The tinker-resistant nature of XCOM meant that there could only really be one mod - honestly it meant there could only be zero, and it was miraculous that we got the enormous one that we did, flawed though it was. Instead, I think we'll see what we see in most moddable games: collections of smaller mods focusing on individual aspects of the game, aggregated together into modpacks. Click to expand.
Click to shrink.Pretty much! Tried a go at ew classic tonight(no long war yet, need to figure out how to unpack it for my Mac).Here's what I learned/relearned.-soldiers named after friends and family will always die.-there is always another pod-when in doubt frag it.-flanks are stupidly important.
Especially against you.-Overwatch traps are gold tier fun.-until the aliens decide to start dodging bullets that is.-I am not ready for increased pace. I can barely keep up with a bomb timer.-it all ends in fireVerdict: I am ready to code black in xcom 2. Well, when SVCOM 2 starts, I'll just draw from the original SVCOM name pool first and use those. Most of the A-Team (and a number of the B-Team) will not be in that starting group of troopers.That said, a number of troopers will be around, though as NPCs. They may show up later on as proper troopers but I might get too lazy for that.The tentative starting team would be:- Xon- Arkeusand.rolls dice for the last two.- Private Lee O'Malley- ArvinLarnStrypgia, Cornuthaum, Havocfett and Aleph will probably have NPC appearances, but they won't run operations. Not at first.
Veterans of the Old War are hard to come. Shen says she is sick of getting requests for chainswords from Ranger operatives. Cut it out.121. Just because the Faceless exist does not mean that 'there is no such thing as civilians.' Waving a 'handheld scanner' over rookies and suddenly screaming that they're Faceless is will result in disciplinary action.122a.
Even if it did panic the last Faceless infiltrator into revealing her true form.123. The Andromedon suit is filled with highly corrosive and toxic chemicals. Trying to trick a Rookie into getting inside one will result in appropriate punishment.124.
Yes, we have captured Advent Stun Lancer batons. No, you are not allowed to requisition them for 'personal disputes' or hazing the rookies.124a.
Even if it's to 'build up stun resistance.' Stun batons are not to be used for practice sparring.125. Sharpshooters are now prohibited from challenging rookies to pistol duels. Seriously, stop showing off.126. Cackling maniacally while using the Exo-suit's flamethrower is now banned.127.
Customisation of weapons is acceptable. Covering your weapon in menacing spikes, demonic imagery, blood, rust, or other such tasteless decorations is not.127a. Exceptions to the above may be allowed on a case by case basis, subject to approval.127b. All operatives, regardless of customisation, are expected to keep their weapon in a fully functional state.
This should be common sense.127c. No, you are not allowed to remove the safety on your gun.128. All operatives are to be reminded to avoid civilians during missions.
The last operation nearly turned into a disaster because someone ignored this.128a. Especially if they're someone you recognise.129.
Operatives are no longer allowed to taunt Archons about 'leg day'.129a. As it appears to be effective at enraging them, taunting Archons will now be its own reward.

Not at first. Veterans of the Old War are hard to come. I think my first run, due to the degree of customization, is basically going to be the Crystal Gems+other SU characters XCOM AU.For best anti-invading alien rebels action!Edit: If non-typical human skin colors aren't available, I'll just make them the human colors I'd picture them as. I assume there will be armor deco/styles like in XCOM:EW that could simulate a character being chubby looking due to their bulk. And there's even a character class who heals, turns some enemies briefly friendly, and shields allies. It's too perfect.
Xcom 2 Capture Or Kill
So there's going be a new blitz of XCOM 2 videos, presumably reaching full strength on Thursday when Firaxis does another stream of the game. A duo of French streamers have already released footage which from what i can tell from the 2K forum posts about it, seems like it will show off a bit more of the strategy layer along with the VIP mission type which is simply capture or kill the target basically. Seems like there's a time limit on how long you can take before ADVENT reinforcements start showing up in droves as well.Also Tygan is following Vahlen's footsteps well.
