It's kind of subjective, but here's what I would suggest: High mob, bad aim - Engineer or Medic (shotgun assault also an option) High aim, low mob - Sniper High aim, average/good mobility - Infantry, Gunner, Scouts/assaults care mostly about mobility. Rocketeers would depend on how you plan on building them, mob is more important for OW than rocket spammers since you give up a lot of talent investment if they have to dash to keep up with the rest of the team. Also, we officially lost in EW. MECs, gene mods, advanced tech... none of it officially happened. I'm slightly disappointed they went that route with the story, but ultimately the story is a minor part of these games. http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/02/xcom-2-welcoming-our-new-alien-overlords | ||

If we lost the volunteer can't exist right? | ||

Would make for a short game as we fusion bomb them out the sky as they arrive. XCOM won that battle, but they could still easily lose a war and be shut down. The aliens could show up with overwhelming force (XCOM can't really handle 15 battleships showing up at once), or make a peace deal which includes XCOM basically being gutted and then following corruption/political subterfuge taking the aliens from offering tech as war reparations to them becoming more and more in control. Without access to the old stores/database XCOM would basically be restarting on tech. It would be a harder narrative to write, but doable. Yeah, if we never got the advanced tech then the volunteer never happened. Which makes Solomon's comments about the volunteer living a bit weird. Maybe the whole "we lost round one" thing was decided after that interview and he was speaking of plans that existed then? I'm sure he'll get asked about it in an interview before launch. | ||

Maybe EXALT 2.0 was formed and really started tearing up everything from inside But I agree, sequels does not always make sense always | ||

That was the vibe I got from the story in game at least. | ||

the main firaxis guy on XCOM's also on record as saying that the volunteer didn't die at the end of EW, but...if getting to the volunteer isn't canon, I have no idea why that would matter one way or the other. | ||

Its all about the gameplay anyway and my first time playing EU/EW, I didn't really bother to follow the story because there was none. I enjoyed the Xcom 2 trailer because it basically showed that we're gonna be doing something different and not be on the defending side for once and causing some havoc, with guerilla tactics, for the aliens who dared to takeover our planet. Also the fact that we're gonna be on the move with our base with limited supplies and looking for people to take up the fight and join the cause. | ||
