Corporal Hicks

lols... The website he chose to upload the pics... There's also other pics, if you know what I mean.

That's the only way to be sure.

Cool Ideas Game_tester... But after seeing those pics, dunno, I felt like taking another shower...

I think they should add a nuclear warhead ammo to the bazooca at some point in the game... Something a la Starship Troopers.

Cool! Can you post a link to this thread?? I wanna avoid fatigue...

"Hudson: Is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bughunt? Gorman: All we know is that there's still no contact with the colony, and that a xenomorph may be involved. Frost: Excuse me sir, a-a what? Gorman: A xenomorph. Hicks: It's a bughunt. " "[pulling out his pump-action shotgun] Hicks: I like to keep this handy... for close encounters. Frost: I heard *that.* " "Gorman: Hicks, meet me at the south lock. We're coming in. Hicks: Roger. Hudson: [to Vasquez] He's comin' in. I feel safer already. " lol "Ripley: Well, somebody's gonna have to go out there. Take a portable terminal, go out there and patch in manually. Hudson: Oh yeah, sure! With those things runnin' around? You can count me out. Hicks: Yeah I guess we can just count you out of everything, Hudson. Bishop: [speaking under Hicks] I'll go. Hudson: That's right, man. Bishop: I'll go. Hudson: Hey, why don't you go, man! Bishop: [more loudly] I'll go. Ripley: What? Bishop: I'll go. I mean, I'm the only one qualified to remote-pilot the ship anyway. Hudson: Yeah right, man, Bishop should go. [Vasquez looks at Hudson with disgust] Hudson: Good idea! Bishop: Believe me, I'd prefer not to. I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid. " lolz "Ripley: They cut the power. Hudson: What do you mean, "*They* cut the power"? How could they cut the power, man? They're animals! " LOL "Hicks: I wanna introduce you to a personal friend of mine. This is an M41A pulse rifle. Ten millimeter with over-and-under thirty millimeter pump action grenade launcher. " "Vasquez: [after barely surviving the Alien surprise attack] Okay. We have several canisters of CM-20. I say we go back in there and nerve gas the whole fuckin' nest. Hicks: It's worth the try, but we don't know if that's gonna affect them. Hudson: Let's just bug out and call it even, mat! What are we even talking about this for? Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Hudson: Fuckin' A! Burke: Hold on a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it. Ripley: They can *bill* me. lol;) Burke: Okay, I know this is an emotional moment for all of us. I know that. But let's not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly an important species we're dealing with and I don't think that you or I, or *anybody*, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them. Ripley: Wrong. Vasquez: Yeah, watch us. Hudson: Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal! Burke: Look. I'm not blind to what is going on, but I cannot authorize that kind of action. I'm sorry. Ripley: Well, *I* believe that Corporal *Hicks* has authority here. Burke: *Corporal* Hicks has...? Ripley: This operation is under military jurisdiction and Hicks is next in the chain of command. Am I right, Corporal? Hicks: Yeah... yeah, that's right. Burke: Yeah... look, Ripley, this is a multi-million dollar installation. He can't make that kind of decision. He's just a grunt! Burke: [to Hicks] Uh, no offense. Hicks: None taken. "

Really good suggestion!! Me likes! This is perfect! I really hope they make it happen.

I was playing at full resolution too, but things get too small... I prefer playing at lower resolution, with larger overall image.

Ah... Been there... YEsterday I got slaugthered by the aliens at Tel'Aviv. Lots of sebilians, raining plasma on my squad. They were all together in a large group (my men), but even so, one by one started panicking, even the high ranks... Even... even.. corporal hicks himself!!

I was gonna post a thread about this too!!

ticker bomb!!

no worries mate, flashman got it sorted, now I understand By the way, the medipack actually heals the soldiers, but it's only 5hp.

Man I'm trying to figure out what you're trying to say, but it's really difficult at some parts...

LOL When I was reading your sentence I thought that it would finish like "several aliens huddled around a dead cow making barbecue..."

Damn, now I see why, when I posted the links they got smaller... http://soundcloud.com/point-source/cloud-9-the-cryo-chamber Check this one Hey, when I post the link it's complete, and I click "submit" the forum shrink it! EDIT: now I discovered how to post the links! Check them in a few minutes I'm gonna edit my post EDIT2: They are working now!!

Oh I had completely forgotten about the prime grenandes!! You set in how many turns it's going to explode! I remember that a lot of times I forgot that it was set, and my soldier would go boom... lol

Hey guys, I posted this on another thread, maybe here is more appropriate. Here are some tracks of mine, on my spare time I'm a music producer and sound designer. I thought that some of these tracks would fit nicely somewhere in the game: http://soundcloud.com/point-source/cloud9-lfo-sighting-original http://soundcloud.com/point-source/cloud9-progressions-original http://soundcloud.com/point-source/cloud9-deep-space-original-mix http://soundcloud.com/point-source/100-slim-phatty-slow-drift http://soundcloud.com/point-source/100-slim-phatty-moog-pads-v2 http://soundcloud.com/point-source/cloud-9-faith-in-the-future http://soundcloud.com/point-source/100-slim-phatty-double-square Cloud9 is my experimental/ambient project, Point Source is my main project. I wouldn't mind having one of the tracks included in the game!! All sounds are synthesized from scratch. IF the mod community is interested I could make a track for a map too... Hope you guys enjoy.

I'm really enjoying the music, mostly the trancy stuff!! I myself produce music and am a sound designer (in my spare time), I've got some cool tracks in soundcloud page that would fit the game nicely in some situations: http://soundcloud.com/point-source/cloud9-lfo-sighting-original http://soundcloud.com/point-source/cloud9-progressions-original http://soundcloud.com/point-source/cloud9-deep-space-original-mix http://soundcloud.com/point-source/100-slim-phatty-slow-drift http://soundcloud.com/point-source/100-slim-phatty-moog-pads-v2 http://soundcloud.com/point-source/cloud-9-faith-in-the-future http://soundcloud.com/point-source/100-slim-phatty-double-square Cloud9 is my experimental/ambient project, Point Source is my main project. I wouldn't mind having one of the tracks included in the game!! All sounds are synthesized from scratch. IF the mod community is interested I could make a track for a map too... Hope you guys enjoy.

Hi! I really think you should comment your videos, just watching you play is not so interesting... I love those let's play videos, but the ones wich the player is talking thru the game, making funny comments! Looking foward to see that

Wow I completely missed this thread, beg your pardon: I'm Corporal Hicks, I have been playing video games since I was 8 yrsold (I'm 30 now), in real life I work as a bailiff and in my free time I like to play games and produce music (electronic music, I've got a home studio and a ever growing modular synthesizer, I like to produce psychedelic ambient/ chill out, progressive psy trance). Since I was a kid I always been a fan of sci-fi / fantasy stuff, fell in love with star wars, aliens, krull, all those great movies that made our childhood unforgetable. I played x com for the first time when I was 13, I remember being afraid of playing it at night, in a dark room , alone... lol Well that's it for now!

Hummm I see, now I understand why they turn red!

Actually, it's not odd, there's a chance of survival if the HP of your soldier stays not too much below 0. I have to search again to tell you the exact numbers. About the equipment, everytime an wounded soldier stays out of battle, when they return they aren't equiped, you have to choose everything again... That's a bummer, I would prefer that they come back with their previous gear config.

Come on Xeno folks, chime in!

There's a chance of a "dead" soldier coming back to life (revived), it's explained somewhere here in the forum...

I agree, too many fighters and annoying battles, same thing over and over... One thing I haven't figured out yet is how to disable automatic missile launching... I hate when my squadron deploys all missiles at once, I want to control the missile launching myself.
