So the question are:Will be lasers allowed?I was also thinking to allow just human crafts(with Alien craft weapons).That would be gory :evil: (and even more difficult :whistle: )

[Havell]

I think lasers should be allowed as they are human technology. With the craft, you would need one avenger to finish the game but you are ONLY allowed to use that to go to Cydonia.

i cant even get anywere past about the first terror mission on easy settings. have tried many times. good luck with ur suicide imo

[Lizard]

Well,you can still use lasers when you against sectopoids and mutons...

What?? Alien Weapons on craft?? hah, pure luxury,

However you dont really need to attack those big heavy UFO's. You can win it by just goin through alien bases and only attacking landed UFO's and Terror Sites.

And an avenger??? Well honestly you are thinking to far ahead, if you can get to the tech-tree of an avenger by doing this challenge will be extremly difficult.

Although now that were not using alien weapons that does mean you can clear out all that junky alien alloys and new fangled elerium crap and have more room for Rocket Launchers :evil: As well as a load more cash for all the fodder your gonna have to keep on buying.

If you try this challenge i seriously advise the loads of grenades technique (sucks against floaters and cyberdisks though).

Without alien craft weapons :blink:
Well you got it :twisted:
I try it too.Just human unresearched tech(plus medikits and Motion scanners) NO EXCEPTION except( LOL ) one Avanger to Cydonia,If you ever get that far... :whistle:
God, this will be REALLY a massacre :evil:

Well lets see, it shouldnt be too hard, give everyone a rifle (laser if its allowed). Run towards the nearest enemy you see and grenade it, If it takes to long to prime and throw then full auto blast the sucker.

Once you reach Mind-Controlling sectoids they can only mindcontrol/panic one person at a time so that leaves 13 people (on a full skyranger with no tanks) to rush the alien and wh00p his alien behind.

Once you get to chyrsalids er,... just run away and throw lots of grenades, even if they kill all the citizens you might be able to make an effective kill-zone in a choke point near a corner of a map and blast the aliens before they reach you. (As well as brining your HE-autos and even more grenades)

And er mutons, well there a pain in the behind, just use a rocket on them.

Sectapods, easy now that your whole squad is using laser-rifles.

Etherials, well same as sectoids really, just rush em all using high explosive weapons.

The hardest part I think will be capturing a commander, seeing as you have to use a stun rod, and you cant use a mind-probe to find out which ones the commander, and you cant use the stun launcher to simply stun all aliens in the area.





Hah whom I kidding, good luck if you manage to make it past the chyrsalids.

I think the laser weapons should be allowed. After all it's human engineered from the human world and not influenced by the Aliens at all.

[Jman4117]

How about only standard pistols and laser pistols for weapons? :Titan:

[Mad-E-Fact]

I did that for kicks after I had completed the game the normal way. Alas, lasers didn't really do much damage against the harder foes...
