PrivateJoker Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Xcoms answer to Chryssalids, a modern warfare style German Shepherd which is very fast and does three points of melee damage. Possibly upgradeable bite or even the genetics lab can upgrade it to be a hunger games type attack dog. However it would be difficult before some official mod support is released of course. But the idea is intriguing to me. Thoughts? http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2013/05/ghostdog.jpg Edited December 8, 2013 by PrivateJoker
Bertilsson Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Wouldn't an augmented soldier without mec suit be a better fit in that role? :)
LegionCynet Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Yeah I whuold like a Mec without his suit as a solider too
xX893kiraXx Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Bring out the Russian's anti tank dogs! LOL if you know about them they are freaking useless against tanks. Just imagine a dog fighting a Sectopod it will just s#*! over the place and ethereal could easily mind controlled them.
Drakous79 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 It could be cyberdog :) Well, until release of official XCOM editor, I don't see it happening.
PrivateJoker Posted December 12, 2013 Author Posted December 12, 2013 Of course a sectopod, cyberdisc, ethereal and possibly chryssalids (depending on how the zombiefication works) would be a natural weakness for the dog class. But early game a dog would be a good alternative to the roles later mech units will fill or even gene upgraded soldiers, as dogs are cheaper, require less training and are more readily available AND are already in usage by special forces around the world. They even have heightened senses which would help out noticing alien activity on the battlefield. A dog would take down sectoids and thin men easily while having trouble with the gas thin men send out while exploding. They could probably also go toe to toe against floaters, however when mutons come they need to be upgraded to be evenly matched.
WolffLaarcen Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 It could be cyberdog...I fully support the Cyberdog class.
PsyckoSama Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Absolutely not. Not only is it pretty much impossible, but its also stilly... and your sig image is obnoxious and distracting.
