Re: X-COM Enemy Unknown by Firaxis
I'm with trashman here. Do you even have the option of having multiple people carry extra ammo? On the original I'd always have an extra person stuck with each support gunner to carry more ammo, not to mention a demo person with a pistol and loads of HE. Granted, it was really only needed on night and on terror missions till about mid game. If anything I just wish they had it so you could set loadout templates rather than just reducing the complexity to a point it didn't matter.

Apparently there was a base assault video up on OXM, but it involved a hacked preview build and got pulled pretty quick.

As in an alien base being attacked?

Yes.

Well, at least that is confirmed, not that there was much doubt.

I'm so sorry to any of you who are actually forced to play Civ V as a result

I did play some CiV5 with the Gods and Kings expansion, my former neighbour had it.
I actually kinda liked it.

Unless it comes with a free Spoonzer laser tank, I won't spend a  penny on it (and instead mooch off of Dekker if he buys it).  :cool:
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

Not sure if this minigun thingy shoots laser and plasma later in the game. Probably does, otherwise it'd be obsolete in the end-game.
