ShloobeR Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hey all, I just pre-ordered yesterday had my eye on this project for a while and finally had the chance to support it, very exciting stuff! So I just had a runthrough, and I'm trying to talk about things which I haven't seen so much in the forums. ----------- - LOVE the Geoscape, the aesthetic theme that's going on there was fantastic. - Air combat seems like it could be interesting once developed a little more, but for now I basically just sit there and watch the fight like in the original. - Chinook got shot down the second after I finished a ground mission, there were no (detectable) alien craft nearby. It just died. - Current building transparency situation has been talked about quite a lot, it's really difficult to co-ordinate troops behind buildings you are not inside. - I'd love to see a 'select next soldier and remove this one from queue' button like in X-com, that thing was marvelous! - Alien running animation looks super rad. - I built a new base and all my money disappeared! I guess they were more expensive than I thought. - The kneeling animation feels a bit unresponsive. - I'm assuming the basic assault rifle has no burst capability? - Soldier advancement screen is pretty cool. - Does the camera height thing have no real function at the moment? it only seems to affect the chinook. Buildings do not change at all. - I fired a rocket at an alien and the soldier just blew himself up ... : ( - Music is great, very fitting, love the sounds too. Overall super excited about this! Just thought I'd share my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 the camera elevation has effect when moveing up stairs inside a building. the guy fireing a rocket: was he trying to fire through a window or over an obstacle? a bit more information would be helpful i think.

Sathra Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Burst fire is the little '3-bullet' icon on the weapon picture. You can't change modes while in firing mode though (crosshairs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The auto/single shot icons can be a little difficult to highlight at times as well so you may not have realised they were clickable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
