DLCXCOM 2 is the sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year. Earth has changed and is now under alien rule. Facing impossible odds you must rebuild XCOM, and ignite a global resistance to reclaim our world and save humanity.
• XCOM ON THE RUN: Take command of the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to XCOM’s mobile headquarters. New open-ended gameplay lets you decide where to guide your strike team, how to grow popular support, and when to combat enemy counter-operations.
• RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS: Five soldier classes, each with its own skill tree, let you create specific soldiers for your tactical plan.
• TACTICAL GUERRILLA COMBAT: New gameplay systems offer more tactical flexibility in combat. Use concealment to ambush enemy patrols. Loot enemies for precious gear and artefacts. Rescue VIPs and save fallen comrades by carrying them to the extraction point.
• A NEW BREED OF ENEMY: A diverse cast of enemies from powerful new alien species to the ADVENT, enforcers of the alien regime, offer a distinct tactical challenge.
• RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND UPGRADE: Configure and build rooms on the Avenger to give XCOM new capabilities on the battlefield. Use your Scientists and Engineers to research, develop and upgrade weapons and armor to fit your preferred tactics.
• EACH MISSION IS A UNIQUE CHALLENGE: Go on missions around the world, from wildlands to the heart of the alien-controlled megacities, to the depths of alien installations. There are virtually infinite combinations of maps, missions and goals.
• ENGAGE IN HEAD-TO-HEAD MULTIPLAYER: Mix-and-match squads of humans and aliens and battle head-to-head on randomly-generated maps.

Yep, and sometimes you just get completely lynched because of the need to get to a destination in time. xcom enemy within was tough on medium. This is just nuts on anything more than rookie.
Agree on bad loading times and occasional bug. I had 2 aliens stood next to me in a game and I couldn't take a shot, only a movement, really infuriating.

Well lets hope the loading times improves with the PS4 pro because it tales forver about 1min or more each time you load a save game
The pc loading times are much better but got fed up with the steam link and steam controller so ps4 pro hopefully is the answer

Brilliant game but if you don't already own it wait, it is full of bugs and some pretty severe technical issues as it stands ATM which do spoil the game somewhat. My advice wait for more patches and even if they never come it's price would have definetly dropped into the £20 or lower bracket.

Very slow load times as I've gotten further into the campaign. Lots of screen tearing. Hoping they release a couple of patches to bring it up to spec. Apart from that, fantastic and highly recommend.

I adore this game, but the load times are ridiculous, so many bugs and a couple of crashes. I'd recommend it, but definitely don't attempt Iron Man in the state it is in.

you may need to invest in a new joypad, tv set, front window etc.. to counteract the times you get well and truly robbed by the ai! I love the game but my number if restarts is a joke! :-)

Is XCOM still up to its old tricks? Standing next to an enemy with 95% hit chance, and your guy somehow manages to miss? :laughing:

Excellent game and this is great price for it. Heat from me.
