Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Information for new recruits:
X-Com is constantly vigilant against an active threat. Alien incursions are detected, intercepted and engaged on a weekly basis. As active units sustain ongoing casualties while performing combat missions, replacement troops are brought in from the recruitment waitlist. Should anyone of sufficient skill wish to !sign up for duty, they will be added to the waitlist upon receiept of their enlistment notice below. To be placed in an active Contact Team, they must also respond to a call up notice when their name gets called from the list.
Information for existing soldiers:
As Earth's premier secret planetary defense operation, X-Com is provided with worldwide access and resources that other semi-autonomous shadow paramilitary organisations can only dream of. Recent funding increases (combined with scientific advances and analysis and review of previous encounters with extra-terrestrial combatants) have allowed for more flexibility in equipping and armament for X-Com ground interdiction. Soldiers are now able to requisition a portion of their own equipment from the X-Com armoury. For more information on this, refer to the X-Com Arms and Munitions guide and Quartermaster's Requisition Form, attached below.
Personnel:
A current listing of active personnel and deployments, including the current recruitment waitlist, is available below.

X-Com Aquatic Operations Division:
X-Com intelligence indicates that previously unremarkable aquatic activity may have extra-terrestrial origin. Because this operation is not equipped to engage in submerged environments, X-Com has spun off an aquatic operational arm as a wholly separate division under Zombies tossed my Salad! - Click here to access Aquatic division logs and reports.
X-NET Secure Logon: Authorised Personnel Only
X-Com is a top-secret multi-national military task force assembled to investigate, interdict and oppose an unknown enemy threat of extra-terrestrial origin.

The Judge
Conventional Earth-based Weapons
Weapons based on conventional Earth-based chemical/projectile technology.
Heavy Cannon
A large unwieldy personal projectile weapon capable of firing different types of ammunition. While more powerful than an Auto Cannon, its slow rate of fire and small magazine generally sees it considered less optimal than that weapon. The expense of ammunition suggests that it be deployed in limited numbers.
Auto Cannon
Similar to the Heavy Cannon, except using smaller, belt-fed ammunition and an efficient loading mechanism to sustain higher rates of fire. Explosive ammunition can be particularly effective against groups of aliens. Like all heavy weapons, ammunition is expensive, so it is suggested to limit use to the role of support weapon.
Rocket Launcher
The most powerful Earth-based explosive projectile weapon, but also the slowest and heaviest. High cost of ammunition and significant collateral damage generally makes this weapon a restricted use item in the field. However, in the right circumstances its use can be devastating.
Enhanced Earth-based Weapons
Weapons developed on Earth utilising advanced alien engineering techniques.
Laser Pistol
A compact and light sidearm that allows free use of one hand. Powerful in close quarters, what it lacks in punch and accuracy it makes up for in speed. Popular with scouts and grenadiers, or as a secondary weapon for users of Cannons and Launchers. An excellent weapon for those wishing to improve their skills.
Laser Rifle
The standard issue weapon of the X-Com front-line soldier. Versatile, accurate, and with unlimited ammunition, the X-Com Laser Rifle is the workhorse of the alien conflict.
Heavy Laser
Not as versatile as a Laser Rifle or destructive as a Heavy Plasma, but its limitless ammunition, ease of manufacture and high accuracy recommend it for the role of sniper weapon. Can be comfortably used in limited numbers throughout X-Com squads.
Alien Weapon Technology
Alien weapons that have been reverse engineered by X-Com scientists for use by terrestrial soldiers.
Heavy Plasma
The most powerful direct-damage firearm encountered in Extra-terrestrial forces. Extremely effective and powerful, but its reliance on rare Elerium-based ammunition restricts deployment amongst X-Com forces to limited use as a Squad Support Weapon. Availability will depend on supply of sufficient ammunition.
Miscellaneous Equipment
Special equipment that usually performs a specific purpose
Stun Rod
Continued research on Extra-terrestrial activities requires study of live alien subjects. Capable of delivering a high-energy jolt capable of rendering an alien unconscious, the Stun Rod is a inelegant yet effective non-lethal weapon that has been proven in the field.
Medikit
Field medical kit capable of treating wounds from high-energy weapons and similar alien technologies. X-Com mission guidelines recommend deploying between 2 and 4 in a standard 8-man squad.
Explosives
Grenade: Conventional personal thrown explosive device.
Smoke Grenade: Thrown device capable of creating large smoke cloud that obstructs vision.
Alien Grenade: Powerful alien explosive device; available in limited quantities.
High Explosive: Powerful military-grade explosive with timed detonator.
Should any soldier wish to request a change to their equipment, they may do so by submitting a requisition form to Captain Cthulu in maintenance. While you're there, remember to get him to service your rifles. X-Com weaponry is state-of-the-art equipment that needs to be delicately handled and thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis by an expert professional.
Please remember that certain weapons and X-Com transport craft storage space are limited in availability; while every effort will be made to accommodate your requests, our priority is maintaining an efficient, effective combat force capable of containing the Alien threat. In other words, you will take what the armourer gives you and like it, soldier!

Pretty much Fishman there is playing X-Com: UFO Defense, and is chronicling the entire thing via screenshots.
Forumers can volunteer to be soldiers or pilots.
EDIT: Goddamnit too slow.
It doesn't, actually. Hence why I asked.
Based on what Mech said though uh...!signup Soldier Munkus

Wait, I'm already dead. FUCK YOU THEIDAR NEENER NEENER
X-Com: Apocalypse seems allright. It has some functionality I wish the first two games had, like equipping soldiers instead of equipping transport crafts and then equipping soldiers before each mission. I prefer the global setting in the first two games to the urban setting in this one, and the early aliens just aren't scary (pink aliens? come on), but it seems like an OK game.

Well, seeing how I signed on as a sharpshooter, I had best go with the standard Laser Rifle as my prime wep. The heavy hitters had best hang on to the stuff that blows holes in the ground.
My secondary, I think, should be Smoke Grenades. They may not be directly lethal, but when trying to maneuver into a favorable position to take a shot, or when "strategic withdrawal" may be required they could be life savers.
Finally, for the optional equipment, errm. I know I'm technically not a medic, but, after what happened with NaC, just standing over him, seeing him wounded, and not being able to do anything, well... I guess I'd just feel better if I had a few Medkits on me. Just in case. Sir.

A lunch of brains.
For I am among the glorious dead.
Glorious? We use what remains of your corpse as a hat rack.
I saw it on the free tour. It's creepy in an Uncanny Valley kind of way. Also, the eyes seem follow anyone observing it.
I suspect that one of the tech guys installed little servo-motors and a motion sensor.
