Advice needed on a new playthrough.

[mrxian]

Hello everyone.

I'm getting the itch to play Xcom again. And I wanted it to be a little different, so I decided to ask advice on what modpack, if any, I should use. I know the game pretty well, but I'm not some kind of strategic master of it.

So, advice and opinions would be appreciated.

Well, what have you played by now?

There are several large mods out there, including Hobbes' Redux, Hellrazor's Hardmode, XOps's Xeno Operations, my own Final Mod Pack and so on. There's also Dioxine's X-Piratez, but it's a total conversion.

If you're looking for new gaming experience, then I think Piratez would be best. But if you want it to be about X-Com, then it depends on what you're looking for.

Sniper Rifle, Shotgun, Muton Commander, and Retaliator always make for decent Vanilla options.

I think I'll try the final mod pack first, and then if I still have the itch, I'll do Redux and/or Piratez.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
