XCOM

Anybody have any good XCOM stories to share? Could be good, bad, embarrassing, whatever. A couple of mine in the spoiler: [spoiler]XCOM 1: I get to the very last mission in the game, and stack all my soldiers up before the throne room. My Brazilian assault man ate a couple plasma rounds a few rounds back, but otherwise the team was good health. I opened the door and sent all my team in in a tight formation. I put them all in good cover, deal what damage I can, and end the turn. The High Ethereal turns around and puts a psionic rift in the center of my formation, killing two thirds of them instantly. I reloaded my save. XCOM 2: I run a rescue op to save a scientist with information on the location of the ADVENT regional HQ in Australia. In the fight through the prison, several brave Aussie rookies lose their lives. I free the scientist and gave him run to the extraction. I forget to kill one advent trooper, who takes an overwatch shot that kills the scientist in one hit. The mission fails and the three survivors evac in shame. XCOM 2: A simple rookie training mission goes disastrously wrong when they get cornered by the berserker queen, a pack of chrysalids, and a faceless. There were no survivors. [/spoiler]

  • XCOM 2: defend the ship when it’s shot down. My squad of best and brightest obviously taking point on the defense as the mission starts. It’s going well enough as they manage to chew through most of the resistance encountered. My crew is all sent to help one man at a time until the scrubs I haven’t even started leveling are sent out as well. Two rounds from the end, I have three enemies left and my A Team manages to screw up and miss every engagement. I had placed my new scrub on overwatch the previous round and he reacts to blast one of them to dust. Next round he destroys a second. A-Team shocked from the sight of this manage to goof it up and miss again. Last enemy fires and thankfully misses as well. New Guy Sam the Super-Scrub stands from cover and blasts the last enemy with something like a 15% chance to hit. Needless to say, he was promoted and brought forward into my vanguard element. XCOM: this is more of my response. When the base is attacked and they sent me help every round. I just thought to myself, XCOM doesn’t just give you anything. What are they throwing at me to justify handing me more soldiers? I won, but it was hair raising.
