If I die tell Stump I always loved his avatars. And also maybe shoot the alien that did it really hard, that'd be nice too.

The aliens will slaughter us mercilessly. We need as many as possible!

I hope this game supports Steam Cloud Saves, so I can move seamlessly from my desktop to my laptop and resume play immediately where I left off.

Probably should have waited until after launch to start soliciting meatshields :T

Anyway, if you want to just make up support personnel positions and apply for them go ahead.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Can I be a tank?

 

[Jintor]

You can reserve place in Robotics for sure, when the division gets up and running. Might be a while though.

Preload is almost done and I don't know what to do with myself until it unlocks.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

That OXM video convinced me to get it. Can't really justify getting it on release though with Dishonored on the same day

Hopefully the PS3 guys will still be playing when I get round to it

Will us preloaders get the game earlier ?

It's killing me inside.

I'd be down to swap out of combat to weapons tech if that's a thing that needs happenin'!

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Um, what exactly is this list that people are signing up to?

 

[Slackbladder]

I would'nt mind cutting up dead aliens in the Xenobiology dept. Or maybe doing the questioning of live aliens. Quite like blood and guts!

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

Spoiler

[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.

Deployment is on a first-come first-served basis, so Pvts. Mupod, UnknownSoldier, Frontieuk and Thy should have fun - they get to go in before we even get medkits operational
