i have a version of tftd that mans are walking like "flash" and shots are very fast.you feel like in film of "lethal weapon" :D this is turtle version.
Oh man, these happen to be the highest quality releases yet! The actual canadian govt entirely unclassified 3 hundred reports! They are on ufosecretXnet (replace X with . )
right now im lping UFO:ET, already over 50 parts xD, if you like sub me if not sorry to bother yas. just click my name to get to my channel with the playlist.
and i think we've all had this happen in TFTD, thats why you lift off without leaving the drop ship ;)
@ebbencs2 where is the problem? In the end of UFO: Enemy Unknown, almost every squad member has 100 TUs, or more. So, if they are imported to TFTD, they have the same stats :)
true that. they retcon-ed it in the "notebook" telling you that the vets in the previous game got rusty after the first game , after blasting up mars.
this game is wicked! but i think its one of the best games around. almost everyone i know who played this game had nightmares! what demonic powers forged this game, i wonder.
Shh... He has those veterans in a ship against lobster-man with gauss and aqua plastics??
Forget about gauss! 'Tis no laser tech from the original. I've finished the game without even discovering "gauss technology". No, really, even sonic pistols are better and it's possible to have them by the end of Feb. After that you're free to research armor, med. kits etc.
By the way... The easiest way to kill a lobster is a hit of heavy thermal lance (it's quite unusual for them to survive a first hit)
Lobster man eat gauss ammo like no tomorrow. That mission was suicidal at best. On the terror mission featuring lobster man in boats with those weapons and armor forget it. You dont have a chance.
I once did a port terror site and by the end of the mission nobody had absolutely any ammo left. I killed the last 3 lobstermen with granades I looted from the field. A ship mission is a suicide.
I saw that grenade coming. Also, I like how everyone has 99-100 stats and they stil, get eaten alive. I remember fighting lobstermen the first time I saw them, I only had the crappy starting rifles. Use sonic blaster rifles, they're the best thing against them, that and melee weapons methinks.
omg i hate lobstermen!. Shok launchers on every Triton after the lobsters start to show. a 'Grey' is what the UFO community name a species of aliens seen for many years.
If you understand UFO information, or have read Lovecraft, the game will make far more sense.
fighting lobstermen with gauss is a pain in the ass. if i encountered lobstermen early in the game i either used this close-combat-stunning weapon and/or got the hell out of there ^^
yeah and on 'superhuman' level the missions come every 5 minutes, it gets really tedious trying to gun down 3 floors of scattered, hiding lobstermen on 2 stage boat missions that last forever...
you cant get your sonic oscillator cos you forgot to save a sonic pistol and sonic clip to research.. you sold it right! When you were broke after like your 3rd raid.. then they stopped appearing? yeaaaaaa
The research tree in this game was designed differently than that of the first. In UFO / X-Com you can research any plasma weapon upon retrieval, but in TFTD, the technology "learned" in the simpler weapons helps you unlock the secrets of the more advanced ones.
You could have escaped with one less casualty. Samuel hand (the rightmost of your fallen aquanauts) was left for dead when you evacuated. You could have used the medikit on him to bring him back to life, since he was unconscious.
there used to be another type of terror mission which was on a boat/ferry which i think i preferred, or didn't prefer i forget which. If u saved b4 u landed and then quit after landing if u reloaded the terror mission might have changed to the other 1. Hated it wen civilians standing in the doorway blocking ur path. does anyone remember sum jelly like creature with a machine gun. i only ever saw it once although i already had the autopsy info on it from obviously finding sum remains. Propa weird
When you spot an alien and you see that grey icon on the left you can click on it and it will show you where the alien is you don't have to open up the map for it.
And to think, you only knocked those lobstermen unconsious.
I used to carry freeze rods and lots of hand grenades. Early in the game, my only chances of actually killing those damn creatures was by dropping primed grenades on them while they were stunned.
Even with the SONIC RIFLE, there's no guarantee you'll kill a Lobsterman with one shot. The Sonic Cannon is better for that. Or use the Thermal Shok Launcher.
...but in the player's defense: taking on such a mission is a must, otherwise he will be penalized with -1000 points for ignoring a terror site. Go to the site and dust off, if you are early in the game and face lobstermen and bio-drones. But, lobstermen generally (or never) don't use M.C attacks which is good in early game when you don't know the M.C strenght - it's the bio-drones, who always team up with the lobstermen, that pose the real threat in a terror mission.
HTH rocks! My "ultimate" combo is sonic pistol (0-160, med 80 dmg) and thermic lance (0-220, med 110 dmg). A good match between fire rate and damage! Excellent in colony assaults (2nd level) also since lobstermen take 200% dmg from HTH. Drawbacks: you have to manufacture the stuff since aliens don't use thermic lances at all or sonic pistols later in the game.
Early on, give a thermal tazer to each soldier. Stuns lobstermen easy and don't activate the self destruction device on bio-drones.
everytime i watch this video it makes me laugh how unforgiving the game really is. i save often, i know i suck. but yea you need ion if you gonna try gauss on em, really its still suicidal especially in these kinds of missions.
Yo, When ever you're aquanauts can 'see' an enemy you dont need to use the map to find them. If you click on the "1" at the bottom right hand corner it will move the screen directly to where the enemy is... if they can see more than one ememy there will be a "1" and "2" there etc
he either used a solder editor to get the 100 health or he just doesn't know how to play,and also if you were THAT far and not gotten at least ion armor then you never should been only taking six people on there!
Nah, it wasn't soldier editor. It was Squad from end of UFO:Enemy Unknown converted to TFTD. With utility called cryo...something :) I finished TFTD before cca 5 times, but now with my "old" squad i was thinking i can made it. Obviously not :)
gauss rifles, night time, boat, lobstermen, aqua plastic armor, 6 soldiers, i could tell right then you were screwed. how did you get your players health to 100? i couldn't get mine past 61.
