    Phalanx would have been a great idea to do to tie into the nanite thing.

    Even better... it could have been used as a vehicle to tie Annihilation into MUA2, by having some of them show up post infection to try and help.

    Which reminds me.

    we need an Annihilation DLC pack

    Nova
    Starlord
    Rocket Racoon
    GROOT


    Of course, Surfer could be thrown in with that too. Or maybe Drax, Ronan, or Thanos.

    but seriously we NEED Nova in there. and who wouldnt want GROOT?

    Nah if there was an Annihilation pack it would be

    Nova
    Gamora
    Drax
    Super Skrull

    Your list would be good for a Annihilation: Conquest pack.

    I wouldn't mind seeing the Punisher added in, as well as some of the older Thunderbolts. It'd be nice to play Citizen V, MACH-1, and the others. Also, were the Runaways involved in the Civil War?

    Just beat it on Legendary and oh man was everythign upto the last boss ball busting hard. The two teleporter side bosses
    Colosses and Firestar
    were bastards. Specially the first one. After that Miss Marvel took over and kicked everything using energy attacks ass like a red headed stepchild. Plus she pretty much negates the majority fo the last boss which is nice.

    Yeah, Legendary makes it actually difficult for squishie characters. I rolled with Jean Grey, Songbird, Wolverine, and endgame
    Nick Fury
    around say lvl 50 through the final lvl (I started Legendary in the early 20's). The last two for the regen tanks they become (while dishing decent dmg), and the first two for my gf and I to dps with. It's awesome that you keep all the characters and get abilities from both sides (if you choose the other side the next game). Even then, toward the end, if a normal soldier hit me, it was hitting for 400-500 dmg. What really got me was that bosses and elites hit me for the same amount, and Jean Grey could only take about 4 hits before she was dead (and hope she rezzes). As far as DPS, Jean Grey can clear a room with X (aoe knockback ftw) which I had up to around 600 dmg without team boosts, as well as provide crowd control with her stun. She regains life and stamina for every person she kills so basically you can spam x the entire time. Great for clearing enemies and boxes. Songbird has Y which can do very steady dps on bosses or the elites. Again, can be three shotted however. Having both of us there for crowd control and the dmg output was pretty win however.

    It was good for the 2 playthroughs, and entertaining for my gf and I to play in coop, however the badassery factor didn't make an appearance. One thing that should have been kick ass was Jean Grey's ressurection. Phoenix should come wipe the screen in fire when that happens. Instead you just pop back to life...great! The ability says you get a buff, but I could never tell. And normal soldiers, elites and bosses all hitting for the same amount? Also, you can get pretty gayed with electric soldiers perma-stunning you, bosses forcing you into an electric wall where you can't move and are forced to die, etc. The only challenging part was not dying and determining a strategy for team composition, heals, and fusions.

    Baron Zemo needs to be in this game. Period.

    When playing through on the second time last night with a friend, we overheard the
    part where they're trying to figure out who could be responsible for the nanite issues, and they ask, "Could it be Baron Zemo?"

    We both immediately replied, "Yeah, in a better game, it'll be Zemo."

    Seriously, no excuse for Zemo not to be in this game. As a playable Thunderbolt, the main villain, whatever. The Nick Fury boss was stupid.

    The end of the game does feel rushed, like they ran out of time and the last level wasn't even supposed to be the last level. It didn't feel like a last level.

    Doesn't one of the characters make a remark about fighting them?
    I could have sworn one of Jean Grey's lines is "If we can beat the Phalanx, we can beat you." Which was really confusing because I don't remember her showing up anywhere in Conquest. Perhaps I misheard.

    Jean Grey and the rest of the X-Men have been fighting the Phalanx for a long time. They had a period where most of the things they did were cosmic-level

    Agents of Atlas (even though they weren't around yet, right?):

    Jimmy Woo
    M-11
    Marvel Boy
    ....and I'm torn between the rest of the team.

    I'd love to see a DLC mission pack featuring the Punisher Civil War tie-ins. Kill Stilt-Man, Save Spider-Man, kill some C-listers, get your ass kicked by Cap (because you don't raise a hand against the flag, son), do some missions with Cap, feel really good about yourself, kill some more C-listers, get your ass kicked by Cap again (see previous), wake up in a SHIELD bunker, punch Rhino in the face. I'd buy it twice.

    Nextwave deserves a full game. And another series. A movie.

    Also, my personal hope for DLC is the Immortal Weapons. Also, something where you fight Hydra goons, and cut through them like paper.

    Beat the game myself earlier today. Though I am disappointed to find that there appears to be no way to just start a new file with all characters unlocked like the original MUA had, as that would have been convenient for when I play through with my friends. And the all characters cheat prevents one from saving... even though it's hardly gamebreaking. Just seems like a stupid feature to be lacking after it was present in the first game.

    End Game Spoilers (Sort of).
    Pariticularly since you don't unlock Venom and Green Goblin until right before the last mission.

    After you beat the game goto the next mission terminal and it will let you start a new game on legendary. Otherwise use the simulator to go back to previous chapters and you can use who ever you want.

    Knew about the legendary part. The main complaint was just not being able to start a fresh file with level one characters and having everyone unlocked. I realize it's probably not a huge deal to most, just annoying after the feature was present in the original MUA.

    Don't be too excited. On the grand scale of good and bad characters, Iron Man's definitely towards the bottom. He has two okay attacks and two really terrible attacks.

    Also, his alternate costume is fucking lame.

    Try playing through some of the later parts of legendary, when the mobs that knock back can literally kill you before you hit the ground.

    Using someone like Iron Man, Iron Fist, or Thing compared to Storm, Jean Grey, or Invisible Woman is a night-and-day difference.
