Firaxis, a new idea to make XCOM2 revive !

Post by Kwic »

Hi,

a new idea of what might be done if technically possible :

Single scenario - downloadable - Soldiers are already selected and geared , can't change, means the same for everyone - Ironman - DOABLE ONLY ONCE (that is probably the technical difficulty)

The goal of the mission is set and can be various : take the less damages, take the less wounds, do it in the shortest turns and so on.

Make a "Hall of Fame" !

(English is not my mother-tongue, I hope you caught my thinking)

There's the problem of the random not suiting well this approach. But I don't care about stuff like that so I'm not well positioned to comment it.
NOT a tactical/strategy expert player, playing LW2 at Easy. Rather old so I appreciate not be bothered by excessive familiarity, I'm not your friend and will never be. Refuse to learn English well so don't attempt learn it to me, thank you. :-)

What do you mean about the "random"?

Everyone has the same map, mobs, soldiers, time, gear, etc etc...

I think he means the RNG (Random Number Generation.) Two players use essentially the same tactics to score an ideal win, but one player gets screwed over by RNG - missing 90% shots left and right, important special abilities rendered useless because of a bad roll, aliens hitting on 10% shots, etc.

Hehe, it seems that I have been heard !

The new DLC War of the Chosen is kindish what I gussed with a challenge mode and a Global leaderboard.

You can say whatever you want about the RNG, I bet my shirt that XWinns will be the n°1 on the Leaderboar.


EDIT : I just read a bit more about this DLC: it is exactly what I gueesed ! Doable only once, Leaderboard, Smae gear for everyone.

The best thing is : you can review how the best players dit it !


I AM SO IMPATIENT !
