RBrim08 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Just enough so that you can know what the area around the ship looks like and have an idea of where the aliens might be the second you step off the ship. Not entirely revealed, either, just the greyed out like when a soldier sees reveals terrain but no longer has line of sight on it. This can be explained with the pilot giving the soldiers intel while on approach... or just the soldiers looking out the window before touching down.

a_beorning Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 More or less similar functionality I proposed three month ago - no success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordobb Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Yeah they will probably hide under the 20 year ago the game had not such.... But i find weak that you land your chopper blind not knowing what s around, what are the windows and cockpit glass and open ramp for then ?

EchoFourDelta Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) "It's not fair to the aliens." False difficulty, more or less. Edited September 5, 2013 by EchoFourDelta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordobb Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Just don t put them near the chopper and problem solved. OTOH, since chopper IS slow to land, they could have time to regroup and acquire defensive position and/or cover instead of keeping shot dancing civie, i know its more funnyer but... Tgis at least in higher dificulty like Insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Dread Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 actually in the original game you could look out of the forward cockpit windows by rotating your soldiers, but were still blind at the sides. hey at least we dont have to smoke the ramp just to get outta the chopper! damn that was frustrating.

Bhazor Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Agree with this. Personally I'd like to have the whole map revealed then greyed out at the start of the battle. I've just had so many annoying moments where I waste a full turn moving my troops into a dead end and then another full turn just to move them back the way they came. Or spending twenty minutes just trying to find the damn ship. It just doesn't make any sense to me why troops would go in completely blind with no recon especially in an urban environment.

Elydo Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 "It's not fair to the aliens."False difficulty, more or less. And yet they get those damn Heavy Plasmas. It makes you wonder if Goldhawk is secretly in league with an actual alien invasion, and the game is merely a demoralisation tactic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
