XCOM vs. EDF

Who wins?

EDF because they can actually shoot an alien point blank

X-com would be collateral damage in EDF fighting off the aliens.

Do you really need 4 threads to figure out that it's not even a contest?

>X-Com standing a chance against the EDF

>bullshit squad of XCOM soldiers outfitted with memetic skin
>are hiding out
>EDF runs past and the fight times out

But their weapons range from airsoft toys to machine guns that launch giant creatures into the stratosphere. If it's the former then XCOM would win because of armor stat, if it's the latter then XCOM am become the UFOs.

No matter how much of an advantage XCOM would have against the EDF at the start, the EDF would probably meme up a counter using the latest technology built from the greatest 00's minds envisioned by 60's scifi TV shows.

>But if EDF bring the wrong weapons XCOM would win!!

Why would EDF bring the wrong weapons. A level 2 gun is enough to wipe out a XCOM squad

This is a pointless discusson thats how big the difference is.

Stupid thread discussion aside, that seems like a radically inefficient weapon to use.

Like the penis of a vengeful god.

>Why would EDF bring the wrong weapons.
Because they are 99% retards. Mostly because they are parodies of movie soldiers who are all idiots.

I really should try playing EDF solo. How bad is it?

Earf, since they'd join forces.

That missile is like ICBM size and doesn't even take out that whole beach of ants?
Also, they seem terrible at conquering a planet or whatever aliens do in EDF, the ants are just scrambling about mindlessly

>XCOM can barely handle small squads of ayy's
>meanwhile EDF is killing waves of giant insects and colossal mechas

also

WALKING FORTRESS BALAM

>efficiency
>EDF

Next you'll want them to be practical and not demolish the area, themselves and the enemy all at the same time.

Xcom because the England Defense League don't have guns.

In harder difficulties they mob the shit out of you

>Ants
>Scrambling mindlessly

No shit.

not even a contest
let me know when xcom beats 20+ godzillas and a big daddy zilla in a mech brawl

...

>XCOM would win because of armor stat

Does x-com armor stats starts with 3 digits ?

I thought they were aliens who just happened to look like giant ants

Who'd win out of the Air Tortoise firing 100 feet away from the avatar project HQ or the XCOM aliens with 1 day left until the Avatar project completes?

Well they are aliens, just like illegals are aliens

XCOM is the better gameplay, but EDF is OP as a team
"Destroy the city in order to save the city" is a great concept though, can't fault them

the aliens are actually the robots, they integrated their minds into the machines
this becomes more apparent when you realize that the Mothership physically breaths or it stops functioning

>"Destroy the city in order to save the city"

In other word's nuke site from another site.

The numbers are irrelevant as you can apply any kind of theory behind what they represent.

The fact the EDF can drop fucking ICBMs and go on the field with giant robots is what makes this kind of discussion completely pointless.

Its mostly just aliens using giant-ant species to do their dirty work for them.

if the edf doesn't have the player controllable storm team it'll be closer
edf wins because wing divers are cute

>XCOM ends turn
>can't do anything because EDF is a real time game so they dont need to end turn

All of this. Zero contest, XCOM troops are squishy, stupid, and unreliable and I fucking love XCOM. EDF would obliterate them.

>RNG: the Game
>better gameplay

I thought the Ants in EDF were just Earth ants genetically modified to be big?

TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK

FROM VICIOUS GIANT INSECTS WHO HAVE ONCE AGAIN COME BACK

WE'LL UNLEASH ALL OUR FORCES WE WON'T CUT THEM ANY SLACK

WE'LL UNLEASH ALL OUR FORCES, WE WON'T CUT THEM SLACK

THE EDF DEPLOYS

no the ants are imported from wherever aliens reside at, but once on earth they are self sufficent

This is like comparing a Gundam against Mazinkaiser.

EDF EDF EDF

>tfw there will never be an EDF game based in the 40K universe playing as imperial guard

>tfw there will never be an EDF game with a triple a budget

>How bad is it?
Not at all, it can be a pain for certain classes to go solo at first, so if you aren't very experienced just grind some better wrapons for Air Raiders first.

You bastards only remember the very first chant, how the real good ones from the final missions.

That's how the games are fun though, AAA budget is always accompanied by executive meddling who will do everything to take all the fun away.

>they get more and more dark and depressing the farther you get into the game
>stop that depressing crap will ya!
>well then, how about this one?
>mfw the final chant
>mfw the entire final mission

Is EDF fun? I remember back in the day it looked like just some retarded bullshit but now it looks hype as fuck

If you like killing giant insects/robots with giant weapons this game is for you.

The final missions on Inferno are fucking insane and I have no idea how to beat them outside of hard grinding armor for hours. I'm sitting at like 9k for ranger and I just get my anus melted in seconds by FUCKING DRAGONS and swarms of golds/whites.

Multiplayer

When the main developer, Sandlot, stepped their game then it became insanely fun.

Only play the ones made by Sandlot, avoid anything else.

It's still retarded Bullshit but it's retarded Bullshit you will never get bored of.

Get better weapons, I can't see how you took your time to reach 9k on health, but don't have some lvl 80 weapons at your disposal.

I've only touched multiplayer after finishing the game solo once with a Ranger.

EDF is full on retarded, what you have to get about the game is that it knows it, it dosent try to be COD or Ass Effect, its just EDF and nothing else.
Instead of
>Im gonna fight the evil and save the universe with my badly written crew
Its all
>THIS MISSILE IS HUGE
>IT WILL MAKE A HUGE EXPLOSION
>IT WILL KILL MANY ANTS
>IT WILL KILL MANY FRIENDS
>IT WILL SAVE AND / OR DESTROY THE CITY
And then you have a great time playing coop with you ant n robot killing friends.

What's the best class and why is it the Ranger?

wrong XCOM

Isn't there an open source port for OG Xcom? I tried playing it on DOSBox but it was unbearable due to the resolution

OpenXcom. It's the bomb get it

for XCOM 1 and 2, OpenXCom as the other user said. while you're at it, try XPiratez mod as well.

there's also OpenApoc for XCOM 3, but it's still unfinished though it's been progressing nicely.

Because Rangers are made to have the most balanced weapons.

A mastered Fencer can be insane though.

thicc sexy iron woman?

early game or late game blaster launcher squad destroycom?

because 24 retarded rookies with flying power armor and blaster launchers will solve a lot of things

with buster sword and nukes
