I haven't tried it yet, but I'm not sure if I like the idea. It makes sense in the alien base to do a reveal when you capture the Command Center, but why in terror missions? If there was something that could trigger it that would be cool. Like if you stunned an alien, carried his unconscious body back to your landing craft, and then got a message saying "Alien Interrogated - revelaing battlefield". On another note I can't wait see how the new corner system works in battle. Thanks Chris!!!

Try this for the map you're on in the picture. 2 snipers, 1 rocket, 1 MG/Heavy Plasma/etc, 2 shotguns/carbine, and 2 rifles. Make sure everyone also has plenty of grenades. Camp you snipers, rocket, and heavy MG at the end of the street by the edge of the map - close to where you come out of the dropship. Keep a shotgun/carbine to guard the opening in the hedges on the bottom left, then send the rest of your team into the house on the top right. Use your riflemen to shoot through the windows and spot guys along the street. Keep the shotgun/carbine guy close to protect them. You can then use the guys in the house as spotters, and pick everyone off with your snipers, rockets, and heavy weapon. The street where your guys are crouched becomes a big kill-box. Once you waste most of the guys you can begin moving your guys up slowly.

I want to see them panic when I gun down their friends.

Just playing the game as is. I ran into a bug that caused it to freeze on a mission with a landing craft. I tried a few different times and it always froze. I can't progress in the game unless I take the landing craft, so I've been airstriking everything else. Well guess what, now I'm stuck on the landing craft again! Until I capture the landing craft and research the tech from it there's not much point in playing.

I really wish we could get a version that isn't sooooo buggy. I haven't been able to complete a mission in days. Odd things here and there are fine, but the game just keeps freezing and locking up so much it's hard to make any progress to even be able to comment on any balance issue.

I'm attacking the alien landing ship. My crouched guy throws a flash bang, it disappears, his TU's are gone and nothing happens. Then I realize none of my guys can attack or target an enemy. So I save the game thinking if I start it over everything will work, but after the game loads it just crashes. Save attached. [ATTACH]3396[/ATTACH] Aut.sav Aut.sav

That's pretty damn cool.

I just might get some jackal armor now. I always skipped it before.

The problem I have is that you look to see if you can make a shot before you move. Visually it looks possible, but then you move there and can't because of the odd LOF issues. So what you end up having to do is memorize the eccentricities of the aiming system for various obstacles. This essentially lowers the intuitiveness of the combat system because what I'm looking at on screen isn't an accurate depiction of the level/map.

I'll try and get it uploaded tonight when I get home from work.

I hate that one! I've lost many brave soldiers who can't shoot past the door frame!

I think it has to do with the Landing Ship. It hasn't locked up on any other ships, but it's done it twice now on different Landing Ship missions. One with Sebs and one with Caesans. Seems to be about 4 to 5 turns in it locks up on the aliens turn. Fire and smoke animations were still going, but nothing was happening.

Lol. Without Walls there would be no corners! I kind of figured that's what it was - which is why I'm also doubtful it will get remedied. I wish there was a grid you could turn on and off to see exactly where corners/objects lined up. I don't know what exactly could fix it, but it's frustrating to lose guys because of flaws in the graphics/engine. However, like Legit said - sometimes the enemy can shoot through it and you can't. So what causes that?

Game froze right when Seb ran outside of landing ship and took a shot at me. It might have been about to go to my turn but I'm not sure. I could still move the cursor and it made a clicking noise, but nothing worked.
