tell me about it. Of course, you'll get angry comments of "git gud" and "xcom2lw is better than any other xcom game" blah blah blah from lw loyalists and fanboys

This mod is "realistic". Nobody is going to give you a cookie or a pin for your job.
This mod does not reward you much for doing things right.
This is a mod for masochists, hardcore gamers and for people looking for a higher challenge.
You are the resistance of an already dominated world, it's not easy.
Also, there are mods that soften this mod, try the series of mods "An easier war".

Good luck, Commander

I agree. Before I stopped playing due to bug issues causing the game to crash whenever I tried to start missions, I got bored after 8 hours of grinding missions. I didn't feel like I had accomplished anything. I'm all for failing and starting over and learning new things as to why I failed, but I don't like the "grind for 20 hours just to find out why I never have any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ resources" and start over to prevent that from happening.

I love the missions. I love that I am struggling to barely make it out alive every time I send a team out. But I still don''t understand why I am on the mission. "Go get this alien thing" or " save the computer". How many times do I need to try and find a lead before the RRG will trigger the next story piece? I get saving prisoners and raiding trains, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I do not like this trial and error, play for 10 hours, lose, start over and prevent the thing that beat you style of game play.

No, I dont think this mod sucks, but it has flaws, its not perfect already and its very hard and still a bit bugy, which is more Firaxis fault then the one of Pavonis.
But I am sure it gets better and better with every new version of both, vanilla game and of the mod.
Version 1.2 of the mod will come soon.
So, if you dont like it now, try it again in a few month, perhaps you like it better then.
And if you still dont like it then, just dont play it, you got it for free, so no loss at all for you ... smile.
Or even better, feel free to create a better own version ... I will play it if you are sucessful.

If you feel the mod makes missions too grindy and the campaign too long, the clue's in the name. The mod was intended for people who thought the vanilla game too short, simple and streamlined, just like the previous long wars. If you enjoyed the vanilla experience in terms of its pace and length, that's your preference, just don't go around saying mods trying to change the game's style are bad simply because they don't cater to said preference.

When a game stop to be fun because of too much high difficulty, it's not even a game anymore, it become a brainstorming or a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, somebodies love that, and they are those who forgot the real purpose of a game: take a good time.
So i agree with the fact that this mod suck in that way, but for anything else, it's an average mod, not perfect but good enough.
There's a lot to do before considering him as a "real good mod"

Means a difficult game is not a game?
Neo, you was a troll ... you are a troll.

The troll that tells everybody who does not want to know that certain LW2 missions have a bug cause he is not able to win them with camping ... even and also after everybody told him, its not a bug, its a feature and intended.
Argueing that if it can crash or restart your PC when you camp long enough (for 50 rounds plus), getting round after round additional enemies onto the map through reinforcements, it must be a bug. He even made a test to verify that its reproducible.

So .... too much heat is a bug, power failure is a bug, a broken part is a bug, pressing Strg -Alt-Del is a bug, stupid user is a bug ... due to that logic.
It has to be one ... and he now posts several times every day, without anybody asking for it a solution to this "bug", which says in other words: Do end the mission as intended and the bug disappears ... rofl.
What a joke ...
You dont believe me, ppl?
Read the comments to LW2 on main page.

Ok, now its even not a game ... rofl.
Hope you dont tell that somebody who did his master in chess ... you wont beat him too, due to much too high difficulty for you, so chess is not a game ...

Neo, most times not saying a thing is far better then prooveing one self a troll every time one is opening his mouth.
Trolls are not taken very seriously mostly ... and you want to be taken seriously, right?

And just to proove I am not lying, cause it sounds so unbelievable:

I found a way to counter this bug, for those who have the same problem:
- you must take control of 1 CEM when you are at 1 turn to activating network tower and infinite spawn stop after activation. Hope it will help.

PS: This method seems to work in any circumstance, but i'm not entirely sure. seems fine for now"

End Quote

Just as funny fact besides, 1 CEM is not needed to take controll of, its enough if you just finish the mission and activate network tower ... smile.

Edit:
For explanation of this post and my post before:

There was 2 posts from Neo, one telling me he gets me baned, which I answered before Superweiners post ... and then, 5 minutes later after Superweiners post a post containing one word:
Done!
But if you dont quote him, he just erases what he did write, very nice style ... smile.

Death waits for the slightest lapse in concentration.
