![]() Most likely when finals stop kicking my ass. I wouldn't advise asking to be added in until I've got power armor researched unless you're fine with the idea that your character may die at any time.Īctual start of the update. I can't guarantee my own integrity, my own ability to keep a schedule, my ability to make a n entertaining not terrible LP, or, like I said, anything.Īnother thing you should know is that in this game, soldiers come and go (read: die) easily. I just want you to know before I start that I can't guarantee. Just don't expect them to survive very long. I wouldn't advise this until I've got at minimum personal armor researched, but I will still honor requests to put characters into the game. If you wish I can rename a soldier so that they have your character's name (I''ll pick anyone who's reached Squaddie rank or higher). I'll be playing through the game on the easiest difficulty (renamed from "Beginner" to "I'm too young to die!" by the mod), to make sure that I won't lose soldiers so easily. Flying suit offers less defense than the power suit, and needs Floater research and UFO navigation before it can be developed. There are more armor types, including two types that can be purchased at the start of the game (The Light Vest and the Heavy Vest). Of particular note is that the Blaster Launcher and the Small Launcher cannot be used by soldiers (though Stun Grenades and Blaster Rockets can be researched). They must be researched and converted for use by normal soldiers. Other changes include:Īircraft weapons are much less accurate and powerful at the beginning of the game.Īlien plasma weapons cannot be immediately used (the Weapons and Items section of the mod's website says the alien weapons are controlled by the mind). The mod I'm going to be playing through is the Awesome Guns mod, which adds a lot of variety to the weapons in the game, including a shotgun, a machine pistol, a sniper rifle, and a proper assault rifle. You want your game to turn into a busty space pirate simulator? You want more armor types? There's a mod for that. ![]() You want a laser sniper rifle? There's a mod for that. Though this game is now clearly showing its age, there's still a (somewhat small) modding community that's made a number of mods and modpacks that change the game. Good enough to, well, be the start of the now-famous XCOM series. XCOM: UFO Defense (AKA: UFO: Enemy Unknown in Europe and Australia) is the very first XCOM game, and the start of the now-famous XCOM series, and while it's somewhat hampered by some truly extreme micromanagement (you have to manually put almost every item in your soldier's inventories), repetitive music, and a whole slew of bugs, it was good.
