Yep, the aiming angles settings have been removed from vanilla. I believe you can get it back from going into LW2's XComGameCore.ini and removing the relevant lines, or changing it to ones you desire. Search for "HIGH_COVER" and it should be a few lines down. Perhaps someone from the team...

So, I started up my first LW2 campaign yesterday, and quickly realized that even when I was only 1 tile away from flanking an enemy I was getting zero bonus to hit chance. Are Aiming Angles not a thing in LW2? Even vanilla XCOM 2 had a reduced version of the system, which was something at least, alt...

Does having over 100% hit negate the 10% graze, or is that always going to be present?

This is a very good point, and I agree 100%. I've noticed that people often lose sight of the XCOM2 narrative when they discuss "realism" in the game. The Alien's purpose (and by extension Advent's purpose) isn't to maintain a global military regime, it is to ensure that the Avatar projec...

Let me give you some real life examples of a similar situation: 2012-present: Central African Republic conflict (2012–present)–François Bozizé, president of the Central African Republic, is overthrown by the rebel coalition Seleka, led by Michel Djotodia. 2012-present: Rojava Revolution in Syrian K...

Well, considering that there are several billion humans, I imagine that in any region they have a massive manpower advantage. Story elements aside though, is this really an issue? Would you rather have a more complex, and challenging strategy layer or have the PI team nitpick every change to death ...

According to the video, low cover provide 30% defense, and high cover provide 45% now. :shock: Does high ground defense change as well? I saw the playthrough video, XCOM shooted a Drone. That information show Drone , which fly on roof, dont have any high ground defense. XCOM2 (and if I remember cor...

Really liking the sound of the hit chance changes, seems like it will make things less absolute. Not sure how to feel about the crazy damage range on the shotgun though... seems like that might make it too unreliable to use. Between that and the range nerfs I don't know what incentive there would be...

Thanks for the answers, JoINrbs!

Oh wow... this really is going to be a whole new experience. So much new info! The ADVENT Base Assault and Invasion mission types makes it sound like the guerrilla conflict is being replaced by all out war when a region is liberated. How is XCOM/the Resistance able to match ADVENT in full-on sustain...

Wow, this is more extensive than I was expecting! Sounds like some really awesome changes! Excited to try it all out! There are a few things I'm wondering about: Will it ever be beneficial to send a 10-man squad on a mission, or is it one of those "you can do it, but it's not a good idea" ...

Loving all the LW2 news so far, but yeah, Technical really is a pretty weird name for the class. Seems like something like "Heavy" would've made more sense.

Excited about the new secondaries! Is SMG still the only Long War primary making a return, or will we see any of the others?

Interesting! So what does this mean for the EXO-suits? Will heavy weapons no longer be available for the other classes?
