Some are basic UI tweaks or simple gameplay adjustments others are major overhauls that could be considered spin-offs all on their own. Gamers have expanded even further on the game through mods over the years.

XCOM LONG WAR MODS FULL

The base XCOM games are a blast, full of deep tactical gameplay and a decent amount of customization. RELATED: The Classes in XCOM: Enemy Within & XCOM 2: WOTC, Ranked They also released a spinoff, XCOM: Chimera Squad, last year. Not content to just release a good sequel, Firaxis stepped up to the plate and hit another home run with the massive War of the Chosen expansion, which has been regarded as, essentially, XCOM 2.5.

about 30-40 times, depending on how many soldiers you have, every time you research a new weapon tier (of which there are four).XCOM 2, upon its initial release, was met with high praise and was regarded as a step up from its predecessor, a successful reboot of a long-dormant franchise. Gets especially annoying with upgraded weapons since you must remove any installed weapon mods from the old gun, switch menues to equip the new gun, then reinstall the weapon mods one by one. It's irreproducible why Long War 2 scrapped this extremely convenient system in favor of an extremely tedious alternative that forces you to build and equip every single damn item individually.

XCOM LONG WAR MODS UPGRADE

XCOM 2's equipment upgrade mechanic has you research a new technology, then pay a flat fee for all of your soldiers to upgrade their respective gear in one go.

Later versions of the game included an option to adjust the Graze mechanic, to the point that you can turn it off entirely. That all XCOM operatives also benefit from Dodge doesn't entirely mitigate this. Combined with the nerfs to grenades such as no more guaranteed cover destruction, it makes fighting a pain.

2 makes it possible for all enemy types to Dodge, down to the lowest Trooper.

Rocket scatter can cause friendly fire to multiple XCOM troopers and is worsened not just by bad Aim stat but also by distance to the target, making rocket use even more of a gamble than in vanilla.

It's bad enough when normal guns miss, but at least they don't do anything then.

XCOM LONG WAR MODS MOD

Several meta-mods have been made to reduce the penalty for low infiltration so players can actually make use of their combat power, and eventually the mod itself changed things so bringing only one soldier doesn't make that much difference to infiltration as bringing three or four. Others, on the other hand, consider it a problem since the mod gives players all these fancy new classes and a bigger maximum squad size and then penalises them for wanting to go to town on the aliens.

Some players like the Infiltration mechanic in 2 because it actually makes stealth viable, as opposed to merely a means to set up an ambush, and makes the game play more like how the guerilla movement XCOM is supposed to be.

Others hate it because it forces a large amount of downtime on deployed troops, stretching to weeks and past the point of 'realism', something that only gets worse once Genemods, Officers and Psionics come into play. Some players like it because it forces you to build a large roster of troops rather than relying on one A-Team to clean house every mission.
