Referencing the Long War mod is a great way to get my attention, Firaxis.

the PC show last year was a huge turnaround from 2015. apart from Sony's presser and Nintendo's Treehouse event, it was the most well put together presentation at the show. it had an excellent speech by Warren Spector, extensive footage or reveals of Vampyr, Deus Ex, The Turing Test, Tyranny, Superhot VR, Lawbreakers, and an announcement for Oxygen Not Included, among other things. this year, we know we have XCOM 2, Total Warhammer 2, Secret Legends rereveal, Battletech, something from PUBG - it's a good show

Yeah I don't care even like a tiny little bit about a single game you just mentioned. As far as I'm concerned they had nothing of interest.

To each their own!

So you came into a PC topic just to say you don't care in the slightest about anything on PC at E3?

Anyway back on topic, X-Com officially putting together a Long War expansion would be a huuuuge deal.

well Firaxis have brought on Long War Studios in the past, so some type of collaboration, or update built with future mod support in mind wouldn't be unusual.

Yeah but apart from the developer itself acknowledging how good Long War is they've had an official version of it to my knowledge. Bringing that out as an official product would be huge not just for modders in general, but that they were acknowledging the hardcore and providing more to it.

Albeit I imagine it'd be a watered down version if anything.

it's a turn-based strategy mech combat game. I haven't been keeping an eye on it but the PVP just went into backer beta. there's a bunch of gameplay footage on YouTube if you want to check it out:

There's already a Long War 2 mod:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=844674609

Plus XCOM 2 was already built with mod support in mind. Plus there are already mods for Long War 2. Plus the Long War team was literally working on mods before XCOM 2 even released.

I'm really not sure what you're trying to say here.

I'm really not sure what you're trying to say here.

it is a safe assumption that someone making a topic about an xcom 2 expansion and explicitly calling out long war and the long war studios and their past collaboration with firaxis making mods for xcom 2 is aware of long war 2

what i was saying is that any significant update to xcom 2 will surely break mod compatibility, so giving that studio a head's up would be beneficial to the modding community, and furthermore that it isn't unreasonable to think firaxis brought lws on board earlier and as a result of learning what firaxis is working on, or perhaps even making explicit requests for certain features, this collab would increase the scope of long war 2
