@Mood: Oh, I'm quite curious as to where you can fit me

In all seriousness, I know next to nothing about X-COM, but I know I like assault rifles, shotguns, and heavy armor

@ Robo: Well crap. Unless there's somebody on the site who lives in Florida I think I'm the only one close enough to test that out. I'll miss you guys.

@ Frost: Chances are you'll end up as Sniper because everybody wants to be Assault or Support.
Basic rundown of the classes. Each one has a skill tree that leans more towards offense or defense.
Heavy - Light Machineguns and Rocket Launcher. Has the second highest hit point gain and is all about suppression or just blowing thing the fuck up.
Assault- Shotguns or Assault Rifles. Has THE highest hit point gain and is all about getting up close and personal fast and hitting hard. Offense ups their crit chance and damage, Defense makes it so they can survive being in the front lines.
Support- Assault Rifles. Are the best at being Medics, but can back up Heavies with suppression abilities.
Sniper- Sniper rifles naturally. Long range, high damage. Depending on the skills picked they can either be unmoving turrets of death, or sacrifice their aim for mobility.

Frost just referred to a restroom as a "shit n' piss". I can't stop laughing, and I feel bad for finding that amusing.

 Heavy with the LMG or a mobile Sniper sounds good to me. Those are both specializations that I hope to attain (obviously one or the other) in my IRL career, or at least I'll try.

[Moodyman90]

No no, Heavy's get LMG AND Rocket Launcher haha. Unless you the right perks you can only fire it once per mission though. And even if you do take the perks you'll only get three rockets.

Other class has Pistols as their sidearms. Snipers are the only class to have a Skill for them though.

[Frost]

Regardless, I would advise you to pick the perks based on the LMG rather than the rockets. Of course, you're the one who's actually familiar with the game, so you know best.

Speaking of which, how much is the game? Might look into getting it if it seems decent

I know this off topic but the first half of S5 of breaking bad was put on Netflix and I'm playing catch up. Anyway I got to this point that was incredibly confusing to me.

You're sick.

[Moodyman90]

Oddly or fittingly enough LMG based perks are the more on the Definsive side of the skill tree with the exception of being able to fire the LMG twice instead of one as oppose to giving everybody a +10 to hit the enemy targeted even if the Heavy misses, and HEAT ammo that grants +100% damage to robots against being able to fire twice if on Overwatch and the first reaction shot hits.

As for how much the game is, it's almost a year old yet it's still $40 on Steam. It's fun as hell if you're into Turn based strategy games. If you haven't read it yet look at my X-Com let's play thread.
I don't really give the game justice since I don't actually cover every single turn, but it may give you an idea of how the game goes. Particularly failures.

[Frost]

Huh, for $40 I think I'll wait for a sale. Hell, I managed to snag the normally $50 Darksiders 2 for $10 due to a sale

I don't think so. I'm always careful to wash them before peeling, since we had that incident with E. Coli.

[Frost]

I have too much free time:

[Moodyman90]

Was on the X-Com wiki and found this
 "Rift is the only Psi attack that can affect Robotic units, and, if the Volunteer is a Heavy, DOES benefit from the HEAT ammo ability."

Now, this is just awesome but at the same time I don't know how that would actually work haha.

[Frost]

Psychics always do seem weak against robots. Why don't they just use their psychicism to rip out the power source?

The Volunteer pulls a Thanix cannon out of the rift and uses that.

Hey, it fits!

I think I'm just gonna dick around at work today.

It's just one of those days where I don't wanna be there and don't feel like doing a goddamn thing.

You just described my entire senior year of high school

Speaking of which. Camo, where did you find that adorable Lance-21 avatar? I must know for reasons.

Also I am working on an FO:E fic thing and would like to know if anyone wants to help out with editing, brainstorming or what not.
