Bought it, seems great so far.

Played that mission on classic Raz, had to reload it more than half a dozen times before successfully completing it. Killed 12 thin men and a Sectoid, lost two men and had a third gravely wounded.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'm getting my ass handed to me on Classic difficulty.  I went to the first Exalt Mission which occured during the second month.  I only have 4 in a squad and no advanced weaponry.  I took down 9 thin men before I was They killed the VIP.  That's not exactly fair.

For Exalt missions, the key is to remember that whenever you activate a transmitter you get a free turn after that (look at the Exalt guys, they'll have a status that's something like "disabled" and have to spend a turn reloading).

Beta 15 for Long War is available for PC
If you've got 5 hours (!) to kill and love detailed spoilers about the new features follow this Impossible (level) playthrough

Long War strikes me as a classic mod overkill.  More, more, more of everything is bad game design.

I like the dynamic aspect of the mod, closer to the original XCOM (Air War is also closer as in really challenging) and the challenging aspect of any playthrough till the very end.
Of course, it's not for everyone, pretty challenging and time-consuming, and that's not how this new XCOM should be approached at first.
Bonus points for making it available to Macs and Linux.

It does appear that way from the outside, yes.

I've been playing Long War. Some additions are very good. But yeah, it feels like it's be put together by people who don't know how to edit.

XCOM 2 officially announced.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E_-2wIJIzQ

Basic premise: Aliens won, XCOM is the resistance (running around on a airborne carrier as the "base")

Also: Supposedly random tactical maps.  Snake(wo)men return!

For the aliens to defeat the insurgents, they will need to harvest hearts and minds.

I hope this one will have controller support too, I really liked XCOM's with a 360 controller.

While it may not kill that idea, I should also note that XCOM 2 is slated to be PC only.
