The Demi-Godly One Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 What alien would you like to fight the least? I'm not saying most dangerous or toughest for disagreement on the defenition I'm saying the least you would like to fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Personally, I'd be reluctant to fight anthropods and skeletoids with entropy launchers or dimension missiles until I've got a few personal shields. There's a lot of aliens you can kill with just plain Mega-Primus issue weapons, but aliens with entropy missiles can really mess things up. I don't like to have my soldiers running about without their drawers on while waiting for the entropy enzyme to wear off. They're too vulnerable then. The dimension missiles....well, yeah. Unless I somehow get X-Com armour faster than the shields, but that's highly unlikely. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodai Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I'd have to say I hate Arthropods because they are well-rounded soldiers. The have dimension missles, vortex mines, and cloaking feilds. Closest thing to fighting an X-Com soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saber123 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 tough choice i say always aim for poppers but any time they can be a nuisance (i never use marsec armor) in the heat of battle with 5 anthropods one comes up and hits your sniper and then your front line guys get picked off with other weapons. thats what ticks me off. now you vets are probably say lol to this but the truth is poppers are not dangerous they are quick powerful and with a crackshot soldier easy to hit but when hes supporting your attack guys and a popper hits them you will have to turn to grenades and smoke to help. not shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jh316 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Hmm...Define mid-game stuff. Ya mean like Disruptor guns, with no shields and megapol armor? Mebbe even devastators or Toxin A? Anyway, Skeletoids would be hard. The flying seems to edge out the arthropods a bit, but Arthropods are damned numerous. Hyperworms are prettt bad too at that point, if they sneak up on you. Actually, I always had problems with the worms until I got shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodai Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Poppers aren't hard at all. I always positioned myself so that I wouldn't get flanked(cause the aliens LOVE that crap) and whenever I see a popper, I pause it and just make everybody ingore the other aliens and shoot at that thing.
