That's actually not true. At least not always. Their movement in the fog is extremely random and you can see it sometimes. Those Sniper's scanners can be used to observe this. I also think they can hear your squad's movements, just like you do (visually shown by these sound waves).

My only real complaint is the % to hit - I can be just a few tiles away, using a laser rifle, with no cover between me and it, flanking from behind - and it STILL only gives 70% ish CTH - that's really not right.

It also seems to me that sniper rifles CTH have no bearing on the actual percentage from distance - I regularly get a kill with a CTH of 45% - which I would expect of course. I wonder if there is some problem with the % figures not displaying correctly.

There's always a gamble-random factor about % hit success.The original had it too.I'm ok with that as long as the hit percentage stays at logical values.

Isn't it like with the classic games where you research more advanced items and then more different alien types and stuff appears, eventually leading to you traveling to their world and killing whatever is there and leading the invasion.
(I'm going by the classic X-Com DOS game here so I don't know how this game does it but I heard the setup was similar.)

EDIT: Difficulty level and time should also account come to think of it, should see larger invasion ships and more attacks from what little I remember.


I'm not sure what the deal is. It'd be nice if it stayed with the smaller aliens and what not for awhile at least, so I can develop some decent armor and weapons. Sad

That's what I get for trying to cheat, I guess. Razz


Why the fuck would you use any trainers for it? Just play on Easy...


Umm. Because it's fucking hard? The panic gets out of control real fast, no matter what you do and this cover system is bullshit, so my soldiers are dying. The game is utterly unforgiving of anything and the official forums are full of complaints like mine. So whatever man, stick to your own shit and stop messing with how I play or perhaps how unskilled I am, if that is in fact the case.

So why not play on a lower difficulty? I'm playing on normal and i'm doing fine.

Also i don't see why the cover is bullshit? Full cover does its job nicely and half cover is just what it says. Half.

And i honestly don't understand how people can complain the game is too hard. Lower the damn difficulty!

I cant discuss the 80%, but in its defense, 80% is not a certain hit.. ok might be extremely bad luck, but 80% still is 80%..

and when you take a shot yourself they know where you are, and your squad member sometimes take a look around the corner, no? so might that explain why they can hit you?

Its a skill, not a weapon per se. Like the rocket launcher.

BTW, as its a skill, you cant use it with run and gun.

Anyone managed to copy over the FLT release files over the legit Steam version? I Dled the the cracked version to play it until my legal Steam version from GetGamesGo unlocked today.

The problem is, now Steam wants to download the 13GB again. I've tried the usual way of restoring games in Steam, copying over all the content from the FLT release to the XCOM folder inside "steamapps\common" or "steamapps\downloading\200510", then making steam verify the game cache but it seems to not recognize any file as proper and already downloaded -.-

Any suggestions? I could really save a lot of time and bandwidth if i could make it work.

Why is it that when I start on normal mode with the tutorial disabled the panic levels rise FAR faster than if I play the tutorial? Bug?

Yeah, Easy ain't always easier. I lost two of my best ops on a crash site UFO mission where the enemy had 4 floaters, 4 thin men, 6 sectoids, and a muton. Cover was sparse and the floaters/thin men actually outflanked me often.

Interestingly enough, I'm actually really starting to enjoy myself with this game. I'm not sure why or how, but it's going alot better on my third attempt. Maybe because I held off on the research of the plot essential stuff. I've now got Plasma rifles and Titan armor and I'm assaulting the alien base. Alright! Very Happy

I dont enjoy games as much as I used to, maybe because I no longer have so much time on my hands but I throughly enjoyed this one. The ending cinematic could have been longer though.
