Attention, candidate!

You have chosen, or been chosen, to join a recruitment program for a high-level international military task force with the backing of the United Nations. We are looking for experts in a variety of fields, from professional soldiers of all stripes to experienced research scientists and military engineers. If you feel that you have what it takes to stand tall amongst the best of the best, please respond to this initial communication within
[REDACTED]
days with a !signup notification.

This initiative will be dealing with security issues of the highest priority for a majority of the world’s nations, and as such is designated [TOP SECRET] in all jurisdictions. No information regarding this task force may be released to non-authorised personnel or organisations without prior clearance. Heavy civil and criminal sanctions apply.

There is a certain amount of risk involved with participation in the recruitment process, and, should your application succeed, with participation in the initiative itself. Although we are not authorised to release details of the initiative’s ultimate objectives and goals, analysts predict casualty rates of 70-80% for field personnel (significantly lower rates apply to non-combat staff). While financial compensation and other programs are offered to the families and relatives of downed individuals, the high likelihood of critical injury or death should be fully understood prior to application.

As a consequence of the projected casualty rate, we are accepting applications for all combat personnel positions. Specialist combat personnel are requested to apply, but specialisation designations will be determined in the field on a case-by-case basis based on performance.

Additionally, there are limited positions available for the following non-combat positions:
  • Pilots
  • Scientists
  • Engineers
Excess applications will be waitlisted for more detailed consideration at a future date. Please respond promptly. Time is of the essence.

I'm ready for Classic/Ironman

Exhibit A:

5 cyberdiscs and 10+ sectoids, at least one of which had psionics. That really WAS a terror mission.

Looks about right. Last terror mission I played, stepped off the ship to be greeted by 3 Cyberdisks. Not awesome.

From the Ironman thread

Why is this man still a Junior member? first post nails it in the future.

It's not outlandish enough. DC v MK and Bayonetta 2 Wii U exclusive are amazing shots in the dark, but an X-Com remake rolls off the tongue (especially given that Take-2 owned the IP and Firaxis was working with Take-2/2K)

Who's using a VPN to activate the game early? If yes, please share how :)
Click to expand...

Exit Steam -> Download, install, and run Spotflux -> run Steam. You can either unlock the game and then run Steam in Offline Mode until the game has released in your region, or leave the VPN active whenever you wish to play it. I prefer the latter myself.

Ironman is how I've always played X-Com. Well I'm sure sometimes I've ragequit a horrendous terror mission debacle but in general I will take the losses and soldier on. But I never played on superhuman.

I need a link to your steam profiles to be added to GAFCOM, searching manually is onerous and unreliable. Also, If you are signing up for the LP, please use the !signup notation to make it easily readable and findable, although I will add any previous posts that both quote the notification and indicate a desire to be signed up.

We are also currently accepting applications for pilots, scientists, engineers and other support personnel. [hint-hint - we've already got 25 soldiers and the goddamn game's not out for another week for me]

Gee, the crashed alien ship at the end of the demo sure looks like the one from Alien. Or Prometheus, if you're new to that franchise.

With my luck I'll probably be the rookie that gets greeted with 5 lasers to the face.

Are there helmets in this game? All the screenshots I see have them helmetless. :(

Yes (or at least there are with Elite Soldier pack)

Jake [Solomon] plays in that all Rookies wear helmets, and need to earn being a Squaddie before they can show their face.
