Long War Studios' / Pavonis Interactive's mods SMGPack, AlienPack, LeaderPack, Toolbox, PerkPack, and LaserPack are already integrated into this mod (with different settings and functionality) and should NOT be activated when playing campaigns. This is a "total conversion" of XCOM2 and will not work with other total conversions. Players are strongly encouraged to read those entries immediately after finishing Gatecrasher.ġ) A much longer campaign, running for 100 to 120 missions on averageĢ) Infiltration mechanics that require you to send out multiple squads at onceģ) Manage resistance Havens and have resistance members scrounge for supplies, gather intelligence or recruit more people to your causeĤ) Nine soldier classes: Sharpshooter, Shinobi, Ranger, Assault, Gunner, Grenadier, Specialist, Technical and Psionic (plus Sparks for DLC owners), each with unique secondary weaponsĥ) Two new weapon tiers, lasers and coilgunsĦ) Dozens of new enemies and smarter battlefield AIħ) ADVENT strategic AI that tries to counter your moves Many of the mod's new mechanics are described ingame in the XCOM archives. Long War 2 is a significant overhaul of XCOM 2 aimed at giving players the feel of running a worldwide guerrilla war against ADVENT and offering them a greater variety of strategic and tactical experiences. If this mod completely gut those missions from the game it'd pull me back in, but as it stands XCOM2 left a terrible taste in my mouth, which is a huge shame since the first one (EU, I mean) was one of my favorite games of all time.īy Pavonis Interactive (formerly Long War Studios) I see what they were trying to do, but it was a poorly implemented mechanic that was used way too often. Too often it felt like I was being forced to wipe my entire team because my only choice was to have them sprint out into the open because they would otherwise not make it to the safe zone in time.
In this one, even just one bad roll meant you'd have to charge into overly dangerous situations because you missed that 95% chance to kill that one enemy who now is free to rush in and murder you because you don't have time to keep your position. The first game was also pretty punishing if it gave you a few bad RNG rolls in a row, but it always felt like you could pull yourself out of most situations through clever play. I absolutely hated the timed mission mechanic in this game, to the point where I stopped playing it out of frustration.
