Ok hate would be OTT but here’s the list in no order…
-
Tritons firing a pistol on it’s side like a gangster from a straight to DVD bypassing Netflix movie. Add to this one of the bits of dialogue sounding like a pretty bad swear word as they fire. I have no problem with swearing in it’s place, but this just makes the alien sound like a cheapo gangster in that straight to DVD release. Actually this comes pretty close to hate. On a par with Forty McFortface.
-
LOS marker. Sometimes this just gives totally wrong info, you move and there is no LOS. Also the fact that the LOS is weapon dependant. Different direct fire weapons, AR/PIstol/Sniper can sometimes not have an LOS to the alien from the same square. You can flick between the two and lose LOS. I imagine this has something to do with stepping to the side to take the shot but it’s aggravating at times.
-
Phoenix bases. Not sure how random these are. But have a few hours into BB5 and have never found another base. Current play through, scanned all of Africa, majority of Europe and about 60% of Russia finding nothing. Means you end up flying all across the map trying to react and that gets a bit tedious without being able to set up a second team. I figured there might have been at least one per continent.
-
How little gear the soldiers carry. They look like they are on a shooting range instead of actually out in the field carrying ammo and other gear. Just adding a backpack would have added a bit to the look and feel. Too late to change this probably, but maybe in a DLC? And can we get customisation at some point in said DLC so I can spot who’s who. Some people complained about this in Xcom, but it made life a lot easier telling different assault, for example, builds apart.
I had more, but the rest are mainly things that other people have already posted threads on so won’t add to those discussions here.
