2.5-dev play through
ShipIt:
A terror mission is reported in Vienna. Alpha Squad immediately enters the Firebird and takes off. Half the way a UFO appears and flies towards the dropship. The Firebird pilot, after reading through the instructions, decides to take a more save route. Meanwhile the interceptors are sent to guard the dropship.
The UFO turns from hunter to hunted, and after the interceptors arrived their Sparrowhawk Missiles turn it into a wreck.
A subway station. The GL guys switch to the backup weapons, submachine guns. There are actually two ways down, the main entrance and a smaller staircase, so we part ways and move forward.
In the small staircase Julia Kuzmin and Femke Sivertsen are attacked by a Taman. Julia Kuzmin is wounded (Femke did stop the bleeding with some duct tape from the Medikit later on) but the aliens falls dead due to their reaction fire. At the main stair, after Thierry Zhang failed, Crystan gives another impression of his sniper skills by killing this Taman.
Next turn he drops a Frag Grenade next to the feet of another alien and kills this one, too. Good boy!
This was somebody´s wife, alien scum!
ChemBro tries the same as Crystan here, droping the Incendiary Grenade down to the alien, but it lands too far away and only does some splash damage. Julia Kuzmin shoots from the other side of the railway, but fails and is hit from RF by another alien, hidden behind the train. We just have no chance of direct fire without triggering RF from the aliens. Same goes for Jon_dArc, who is also wounded.
Thierry Zhang finally manages to bring the alien down, Jon getting the last one here. Did I already mention Full-Auto is a nice thing to have for a weapon?
UFO is on the way to the UFO-Yard now.
ShipIt:
On the way back to the base the Squad is ordered to clear the crashed UFO. Some crew members might have survived. ChemBro, as he is one of the higher ranks in the squad, tries to contradict because of the two wounded team members. But he´s told to shut up and secure the UFO. Phalanx is somewhat short on money, it seems.
Gate map. Looks very interesting. Lots of ups and downs, stairs and holes in the floors make a nice location. General Hammond seems to be absent right now. Jon_dArc and Julia Kuzmin, already wounded, are ordered to secure the landing zone.
Wtf. As soon as the team enters the building it is under fire. An alien standing on a higher floor to the right. Shots are traded back and forth, Allison Zhang finally wins the shootout by hitting the Taman between the eyes with an Aimed Shot. After this the squad retreats to regroup.
Next turn Crystan kills this 'Tin-Man'. The shot is well aimed, the bullet goes through the armour into the chest of the Taman and he is dead even before his body hits the floor.
We go deeper into the building as all of a sudden ... during the aliens turn one of the bastards drops from a higher floor, moves and shoots at Femke Sivertsen, fails and is killed by RF from Crystan. ChemBro is hit, but the alien failes the second shot, thus giving ChemBro the opportunity to raise his weapon and return fire. We still have to wait for the first time he will miss.
Mission complete. As we find out after the mission, Femke Sivertsen was pretty lucky when the alien failed to hit her in the back, because the Combat Armour usually does not hold up against a Plasma Rifle bolt.
Aliens showing up with Alien Body Armour and Plasma Rifle, three members of Alpha Squad injured, we are out of credits and still one week until replacement arrives. Thats gonna end badly.
At least we can buy new Sparrowhawks after selling the crashed UFO to The Greater European Union for an astounding 13595 credits.
Crystan:
Your play through is more exciting then actually play the game. :P Its like a daily episode of a tv-show. ;)
rodo:
You're getting nice maps, I hate this bug on 2.4 version that's making me go round all the same maps over and over again.
Will 2.5 dev run my 2.4 release saves if I install it?
H-Hour:
Yes, although right at the moment there is a problem that will cause your campaign soldiers to have no heads. (We just merged new soldier models in to the development version.)
