EclipseDog Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I finally figured out why we all hate those cockroaches... their eyes are all beady just like those sectoids and they both are able to tolerate massive freefall damage without death. Don't know what I'm babbling on about..? Mind control a sectoid on top of a 3 story barn roof. when it's in your power walk it right off the side of the roof to land with a juicy plop on the ground beside the barn. Then marvel at the amazing ability for the sectoid to return to 100% health as if it hadn't just taken a suicide leap for its faith in whatever alien buggy god exists for them. What the heck were the game's designer's thinking about when they forgot to make a suicide fall do any damage or else not be allowed to even happen? Oh well... at least that explained away how the heck (and why the heck!) that one time an alien was standing inside of a lightpole underneath a building and unable to walk anywhere.

JellyfishGreen Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 But squaddies don't take fall damage either, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Hoz Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I think they do.I remember I once had a"ship-cleaning" mission in TFTD,and one of my rookies fell off a balcony and died.But maybe it's only in TFTD and not in UFO.If they would'nt take falling damage,theseterror missions could be far easier,I could justdrop around their camping spots...

FullAuto Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 As far as I know, nothing takes falling damage on UFO or TFTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBlade Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 It's just another little unrealistic detail the games have, like throwing grenades in TFTD. It's not really that bad, since the lack of falling damage doesn't affect the aliens nor the X-COM operatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Hoz Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I'm actually quite sure I saw a rookie die from a fall in TFTD,but then I may be wrong.I'll be have to try that again then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 No fall damage... you get it in Apoc, though... heheh... hydrofarms... https://www.angelfire.com/games3/jeffy90/images/smilies/sarcastic.gif I once had a thermal disrupter bomb go off in an alien base in TFTD... Big huge room with four of my men in it, the whole floor gave way and they all fell down! https://www.angelfire.com/games3/jeffy90/images/smilies/laugh.gif They all lived. https://www.angelfire.com/games3/jeffy90/images/smilies/sarcastic.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
