'We're not a movie we're not a book we're not beholden to what story we want to tell. DeAngelis says the team actually has data that shows most players lost the campaign at least once, which is why XCOM 2 follows on from a scenario in which XCOM essentially failed. XCOM: Enemy Unknown fans will be familiar with that replayability, having most likely lost the game at least once and failed to repel the alien invasion. They work based on a number of parts in the procedural system. It could be recovering intel, hacking a workstation, destroying a building-and they're not scripted like they were in EU. Not just procedural maps, but now there are gameplay mechanics layered on top, where you don't know exactly what you're doing when you go in. 'Now, we're sort of combining the two, within a very procedural system. 'In EU, you had kill missions, and scripted VIP rescue missions,' DeAngelis explains. Not only will every mapвЂ™s layout be procedurally generated, but so will that mapвЂ™s objectives. The way Firaxis is encouraging more dynamic events in combat carries over into the way XCOM 2вЂ™s missions are designed. But the other cool thing about destructibility is, if you're in a building, and you have a unit on the second floor, or the roof, if someone shoots at you, that floor could go out from under you at any time and you can fall through-which is an homage to the original XCOM: UFO Defense.' In the demo, the Advent were using magnetic weaponry, so that takes out baseline cover much quicker. There are still toughness levels on cover, so depending on the type of ammo you have, the type of weapon tiers, cover will either stick around or go away. What's the most terrifying thing that can happen to you? Cover is suddenly ripped out from you. 'Let's look at the foundation of XCOM,' DeAngelis proposed. Once combat does start, the increased destructibility of cover means that youвЂ™ll be in more danger-but some interesting tactical opportunities could also arise. You can do some unique stealth things with them.' We'll be able to push on that with some later-game abilities that we're not talking about yet.

'You want to turn the tide of battle and take out that first group as efficiently as possible, and then the alarms go off, and they know you're there,' DeAngelis adds.

Some enemies will follow patrol routes, and you can remain hidden if you're behind full cover when an enemy looks in your direction and walks past. Instead, a smaller detection radius surrounding enemies allows you to sneak closer and assume advantageous positions without alerting them. They begin the mission in a state of concealment, which means enemy units aren't immediately hostile when they enter your line of sight. Because XCOM is bringing down a corrupt alien-government alliance, your soldiers need to infiltrate enemy territory.

One new system that isnвЂ™t based on stats is the concealment phase, which DeAngelis says allows the player to 'take on the role of the invader'. 'And we're going to release the gameplay source, so you can do partial edits to existing abilities and stats.' 'We're going to have Steam Workshop support, and the Unreal editor so you can do total content conversions,' says DeAngelis. But that customisation was limited, and now that XCOM 2 is PC-only, the modding support this time around is going to be more fully-featured. Players of XCOM: Enemy Unknown have found ways to customise their soldiersвЂ™ stats in the form of gameplay mods. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
