what I think is ridiculous is the overall difficulty changes to the game. don't get me wrong, I love a difficult/challenging game. I played and beat the dark souls series for f*#@s sakes. although I did rage out a few times I beat them and really loved them. long war though.....you really have to hate yourself to play through that crap.... here is why I think this, I was sooo excited when I read about long war. sounded like a really good idea. and then I played it and was severely disappointed. I played through quite a few grueling missions until I got to one where one of my men (who wasn't even a rookie....was like lvl 3 or 4...) was standing literally right in front of an enemy not in cover, shot and missed. (how do you miss someone whose skull is in contact with your barrel...?) and immediately after this one of those previously useless hover drones scored a critical from across the map and killed him with one shot. after this I just uninstalled the mod. the main thing that really ruined it was the fact that the aliens scale with you. what the hell is the point of upgrading my weapons if the enemy just keeps getting better defenses??? what the hell is the point of researching new armors if the enemy can still one shot kill me??? I realize that with the additions to your capabilities you have to rebalance the enemy to fit but the way they did it truly was ridiculous......
