It is kinda odd that it's the MEC option that's fixed, but the Gene mod options can be respecced. You'd think replacing organic body parts and changing DNA would be harder than replacing mechanical parts

Flying Invisible Tentacle Aliens.... as if this game was nightmarish enough at times I do like the addition of snow maps though, adds much variety to the environment.

This game no longer gets much interest in these boards does it?
Anyways, here's a couple of new Enemy Within gameplay videos, first is an official (scripted) gameplay video narrated by lead designer Anana Gupta: And here's an actual playthrough of the PAX Prime Enemy Within demo by Destructoid:

Steam just updated the Enemy Unknown achievements to reveal the challenges for Enemy Within. Guess what we got ladies and gentlemen:

Ooh that last last achievement better be true!
Aww, we got no pure soldier achievement? I was hoping I can go all normal soldiers and beating the game.

Interesting. He says certain armors will have a inherent ability to cancel strangulation. The only armor I can think of right now that would get this ability would be the Titan armor because it's XCom's heaviest, self sealed powered suit unless they are introducing new armors for normal soldiers. Maybe they're adding new abilities to the old armors to give some incentive to go with normal soldiers because as far as we know Gene or MEC soldiers can't wear the old armors.

It's the MECs that get their own suits though in the form of the MEC Suits which you insert the MEC Trooper into.

Looks like I did call it after all; XCOM will have to deal with a 'fifth column' after all. GameInformer has some more info in this recent article. Quote:
Also wondering if this means we'll be seeing triangular battles in both campaign missions and the adversarial mode. Bonus points if Exalt-themed customization is unlocked at some point just for giggles.

Covert missions seem to be suicide for low-rankers, as you're inserted with pretty much no armor and just a pistol, if what was revealed so far is accurate. That would put a wrinkle on Exalt raids, as THEY have stuff like assault rifles, machineguns, and sniper rifles.

Hmm. Does this mean only the Exalt can assault XCom HQ or can aliens do the same?
I was expecting the rise of the Cult of Sirius or something, but this is close enough. There was an article on Kotaku about the Exalt saying not only can they assault your base but also wreak havoc with your funding, base functions if left them run wild. It's bad enough we got to keep the panic down from aliens, but now we got to deal with human espionage. Is Fireaxis poking fun at the other FPS XCOM game? The human enemies look almost exactly look the agents from that game. Quote:
