In short, Pavonis has done a great job integrating the themes of XCOM 2 into their new mod. Before diving in, I was curious how the Long War 2 team would reconcile the traditional drawn-out approach with the “alpha strike” tempo of XCOM 2.
Among a rework of the classes and weapon tiers in XCOM 2, the difficulty has been tweaked to force players into longer missions and an even longer campaign. Long War 2 from Pavonis Interactive launched last Friday, nearly overhauling the complete base game. The definitive XCOM 2 mod is finally here so buckle up for a long and grueling campaign against the ADVENT forces.
