True but I did notice that on missions where you can request evac reinforcements start clocking in as soon as you break concealment.

Yes! Can't wait to see how their own flesh and blood Baby Project turns out. (Baby in the sense of "it's my Baby", not because of size )

Not that it's the solution to everything infidel, but a good tip from xwynn is to move along the edges of the map because you basically eliminate 33% of possible enemy Approach angles. This way you can also send ahead your shinobi more towards the inner side of the map, with his smaller detection ra...

Knocking down walls without too much Attention... a cheat almost

I would buy the expansion immediatly if the engine changes carried over to the base game.

Wait planting and detonating that shaped Charge Thing does not break concealment?
oooohhhh... there have been so many missions where this would have been Handy...

Gotta say, timers are alright in LW2. Most unforgiving IMO are those vip rescue timers where you see 24 turns remaining but doom reinforcements start dropping at about 12, 14 turns remaining. One every two rounds. That is hell, especially when you first find out about this. The moment when doom rei...

I myself find the shinobi interesting to play with. I enjoy scouting with him and having a backup ace in the sleeve in case I really need something gone. But as I said, I admit that subtle weak points only start hurting when you put serious time into a game, and concealment might be one.

Is this actually such a Problem that the game feels unbalanced to you? Because I can understand that once you figure out how to remain concealed with your Scouts, the AI has Little Options against you - at least on missions where there are no timers. I still don't see how it's supposed to be too eas...

Maybe you're just too good for the game. I get blown out of concealment constantly by drones and resurrected dead soldiers. Tap of the hat to you.

I'm all for discussion, I just had a gripe with you judging people for their choice not to buy the expansion.

Yeah I was already wondering where I told him he was missing the point. Ok so that's why.
That's what happens when I reply without quoting

On one hand you say, to each their own, and then you display utter intolerance towards people deciding against buying a game you like. Stop it. It's annoying, and it's not your call to make. If you'd like to help firaxis, take a job in their marketing department. Just stop telling other people what ...

Sure, I use many other mods. Most of them I took from xwynns list.

I don't think it's hostile to say that there are conditions I want to be met before I buy a game. That's my right as a Customer. Making conscious, informed decisions is the most Moral Thing to do, everywhere, always. No Need to let your pants down just because someone didn't fuck you over. I apprec...

Elaboration

Isn't this already Killzone? Killzone is more powerful and also a very exclusive skill. I haven't had that skill in a while so I'm not sure about the Details, but AFAIK you shoot at anything that moves in that area? What I'm talking about is the choice of an area specific or regular overwatch, and ...

If you had the choice between angled and 360° overshot that would not be a Problem. If you want a specific target not to flank, or you know it has to move and must die, you take angled. If you are afraid of unexpected attacks you take usual overwatch. There could be cheap gear that opens up the choi...

Good idea! Hello, my Name is x-avier and today OMG I KILLED EVERYTHING

Wow, it's actually really really sad to see this attitude, but I guess to each their own. Without Firaxis there would not have been a Long War in the first place and WotC is an incredible experience, such hostility toward it is shocking to me. The claims that it isn't as enjoyable as Long War 2 to ...

Yesterday I saw a mod in the Workshop that lets you overwatch in a narrow, cone-like area, so your overwatch only activates in that area. At first I liked the idea, but then I realized, if Pavonis thought this was a good idea, they would have implemented it. I am posting this in case they actually w...

That terminal is gonna blow every second, son
Better get moving!

It also sounds like you do a lot of research outside of the game too and then you calculate the most efficient path? Doing that, you can break almost any game. Key word: 'almost'. It's not a bad philosophy that a game should still be engaging even if you know all of its mechanics, even if most game...

WoTC is a peace of cake compared to LW. Regular grenades 100% destruct cover - no need even for plasma. Other grenades are just useless. Ability to pick up both path's skills is just insane. Promotion reward for covert OPS is OP. You can quickly power level one chosen soldier (ranger preferably) to...

Since this is the strategeh thread How do you guys deal with going to work, making dinner, being social (if you are) and stuff and not playing Long War 2? Personally, I stalk this here not so active forum and try to be at least as bad at my job as I am at Long war 2 to get the same Kind of "you...
