I'm BADLY hurt :-(....

[Chryssalid_Victim]

Hi guys

 

First Post on this forum about this great game....just need a bit of help

 

Just got the game a couple of days ago (Delivery was a bit slow for it :-(), but been making up for lost time in the last couple of days. Have a mate round and we've been playing for the last couple of days and now we've hit a HOLE!!!

 

We'd just finished the Russian Mission (at about the 3rd time of asking...stupid rocket launchers and rail guns, where are the when you need ;em ) and everything's going hunky dory so we're off to do a base mission like the 20 others we;ve already done..........

 

Spare you the gory details but the mind frying we recieved was nothing short of brutal.........now I have read on these forums that there is virtually no way to stop these attacks and the best way to defend against them is to get 'em back with your own Psi-Gun.........Don't have it though

 

Does anyone have any advice/tactics for getting through this alive???

 

On a 2nd note, does anyone know why I have the Alien Power Cell and I'm not being allowed to develop it becasue the game says I don't have it?!

 

And just one final fun point.......the name of your little Squad...Phoenix Company....sorry I'll spell it out phoeniX COMpany.........funny little thing they included there. Cool coincidence if it is...cheeky if it ain't

 

Appreciate Any Advice

 

Cheers (In true UK fashion)

Ah Psi -Guns!

 

Total pain in the bits!

 

Where possible use your squad members with the highest Willpower values, and equip them with Psionic-helmets or enhanced Psionic Helmets (or not to spoil it, some of the later types of armour). This is supposed to help.

 

In my experience it really didn't seem to make even the slightest bit of difference - many a time i have seem guys with "Heroic" willpower values, equipped with enhanced Psinic helmets being possessed with but a single shot.

 

Best response - indirect fire. If they can't see you - the can't Psi you.

 

Use "Super Strikers" or "Gl's" to lay down mini "artillery barrages"at "chokepoints" such as doorways in large rooms, or corners, where you expext them to enter from

 

Also, if they gut who Psi'd you is killed, the trooper reverts to your control, so if one of your guys gets "possessed", kill the "grey" who is controlling him quickly as possible.

 

Where possible concentrate your squad in one area, so they can support each other, so if one guy gets Psi'd the others can quickly take down the one who did it!

 

It must work 'cos I managed to complete it

 

I could go into excruciating detail about tactics, but I don't want to spoil it for you!

 

Hope this helped. Enjoy!
