XCOM - MEC Trooper doesn't take shit from anyone.

[Painkiller]

I wish xcom 2 still had the same kinetic strike. I mean, it's still fun to punch an alien in the face, but it doesn't feel as devastating.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: "Someone Your Own Size"

* Kill a Muton Berserker with a MEC Trooper in melee combat

[mattwells]

Had a MEC punch an Exalt operative, and he ended up sailing into the beacon I was supposed to protect.

[Grenn]

Well, you'd be pretty angry too if the question "Would you like to be a MEC trooper?" was followed by "Great! Let's cut off your arms!"

[RyanCooper]

I miss using the fist for "Tactical" reasons. I.E. Punching a hole in a wall to let everyone shoot trough, or breaking the ceiling and letting everyone drop in

[kilowyatt]

I wish the newer xcom has these sync kill style events alot more it would be sick to watch something like a stunlancer have a short duel with a ranger before one of them gets hit

[KillerOrca]

Kinetic Strike was one of the most OP things in that whole expansion I swear

[JolietJakeJ]

Best moment for me was punching an EXALT operative off a roof and he lands on a taxi, which then explodes. No body afterward. My nephew was present and totally lost his shit at that.

I miss Mech Troopers, Sparks are really cool and have some neat abilities, but the animations and overall aesthetic just aren't there anymore.

[carlzerris]

Can we all just agree the most satisfying time to use this is against an ethereal?

[batcat]

It's honestly impressive just how much *impact* they gave the Kenetic Strike. Like I am 100% sold on that it would send aliens and machines alike flying through the air

A handsome young Cyborg named Ace,
Wooed women at every base,
But once ladies glanced at
His special enhancement
They vanished with nary a trace

There's also an animation for killing a Sectopod.

[Dcook]

The moment when you're not just killing aliens, you're making them your bitch.

[SubtleArboreal]

I really enjoyed X-COM 2. The final mission was super cool, especially because I kept making tactical mistakes and losing soldiers I had kept safe the entire campaign one at a time, until by the end it was just Kelly, the Avatar and my Medic, plus a mind controlled baddie. Made it really feel like the squad gave everything to put down the threat. All that being said, nothing in the whole game was as satisfying as the feeling of punching out monstrosities with the MECs. I'm a simple man.

[olegoleg]

Damn, I didn't know old xcom had desth animations specific to the attack sometimes! I really wish we had that in modern xcom as well, this looks amazing! The struggle, and just the _WEIGHT_ of the punch!

[FurryEskimo]

People used to tell me the flamethrower was worthless, but I loved it. Made terror missions way easier because the chrysalids would panic.

[greyhunter]

Wow. 6 years. Still a great game. I always, had my MECs wear helmets cause I was always paranoid a lucky headshot would ruin a multimillion buck investment.

[Dnbray]

The kinetic strike is so op and so satisfying to punch an alien in the face it's just strange than anyone agrees to literally having their arms and legs cut off and replaced

[MegaGaruga]

Holy shit that's Walken. The embodiment of freedom fights the alien threat in all universes
