HELP: XCOM 1 Soldier Voice Lines (Comment Here)
I was middle of looking for XCOM 1/EU/EW Soldier Voice Lines (American English, British English, Australian English, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish, German, etc.) on YouTube.
I would like to listen the Russian quotes (Male or Female voices 1-5) on there, and they don't have any on YT.
Only problem is, they might be stored in the game files.
I want to listen to Russian quotes from Soldiers.
I need some comments on what i'm looking for actually.
Any questions, leave me a message or leave me a comment on this blog.
No Templar Mission? (Comment here)
Hi i was middle of watching WotC videos on YT. And there is no "Meet the Templars" story mission similar to Operation Lost and Abandoned.
I don't play XCOM 2 since i don't wanna do XCOM fandom, but i watch XCOM on YouTube.
That's all.
XCOM Game Wishlist (Comment here)
- XCOM: Terror from the Deep (2019, 2020 or 2022?). (I haven't played XCOM 2 since i played XCOM:EU/EW 2012-2013. WotC's my favorite one better than vanilla XCOM 2. I get bored and tired of YouTube, videos and video playlist. I watch some LW2 videos by DerAva and xwynns. Who cares)
- XCOM: Enemy Unknown Remastered/Extended with mod and Steam Workshop support (2022 or 2032?). (I'm sad that XCOM 1 has no mod support. Its important that my favorite XCOM game can have other mods instead of Long War)
- XCOM Skirmisher (First Person Game 2018, 2023, 2028, 2032 or 2038?). (I think i'm going to bed and dream that an XCOM first person shooter that lets the Skirmisher rip some heads off like AVP. That will be cool)
- Any remakes of Apocalypse, Interceptor and…

Veterans of the XCOM series might find the next to videos to be of interest. Wikia was lucky enough to be able to interview two developers from the new game. Some questions regarding the reason for features, story and more are asked. You can watch them below;
XCOM 2 Crash Course Video
Hey XCOM fans! In celebration of today's release of the hotly anticipated XCOM 2, we've put together a few videos summarizing the series' past, present, and future.
This Crash Course video provides an overview of the XCOM series history, starting with 1994's XCOM.
Additionally, we got the chance to sit down with XCOM 2 lead producer Garth Deangelis and designer Mark Nauta. We picked their brains about new systems, mod support, and lessons learned from developing XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Check out those videos below:

Xcom: Resurrection
Alright, its some time ago that the book XCOM: Resurrection was released, yet information about it was limited.
The book explores much of the aftermath of the post alien victory/ Xcom defeat. It takes place pre XCOM 2.
It even wasn't posted on this wikia. So why?

Possible Game Suggestions
Over time whilst I have replayed Xcom enemy within.
I keep thinking how good it would be to play as the opposite side, instead of seeing what would happen if XCOM won. Play as EXALT. The base being the building where EXALT HQ was. Be able to research alien weapons and the aliens themselves, use weapons of XCOM when you defeat them.
Instead of alien abductions, alien interceptions. Sleeper cells requesting help instead of the council, to aid in removing countries from XCOM. And even opposing covert operations done by XCOM such as defending Com posts, and hacking XCOM encrpters and transmitters.
Whilst showing what would happen if EXALT won the battle against XCOM and took over the governments of the earth. Whilst also removing the alien threat…
Civilization: Beyond Earth leaders reimagined as XCOM soldiers
Greetings, fellow fans of Firaxis! I'm ZeroOne and I hail from the Official Civilization Wikia. As you may know, it's less than two weeks until the newest Firaxis game, Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth comes out. Also, back in July 2013 they published an expansion for Civilization V, called Brave New World. In that expansion a new unit was added: the XCOM Squad! How cool is that?! Putting together the aforementioned facts it dawned on me that it's about time to put something Civ into XCOM as well. So may I present: the Beyond Earth leaders reimagined as XCOM soldiers!
If there are any artists around here, Kevin from Firaxis threw out a little challenge on Twitter: "I now want to see XCOM get the BE treatment. Supremacy Vahlen. Harmony Shen. Pur…

UPDATE: Sid Meier has answered your questions! Read his responses in the Answers Blog Post!
Roger! Verstanden! Принято!
One thing I've been wondering for quite a bit... Now that all players have access to all localized soldier voice files, a question arises:
In the off chance I missed one, leave a comment.
Rather surprising, but on a second though, not so much - at least two interviews mentioned it as the language they'd be using.
XCOM: Enemy Within Community Question Answers

XCOM: Enemy Within Community Q&A
Hello XCOM Wiki Editors,
Good news! We've been given an opportunity to sit down with XCOM's lead designer next week for a Q&A session about the upcoming expansion pack, XCOM: Enemy Within. That said, we'd love to get some questions from you, the XCOM Wiki community. You guys know the game better than anyone, and we'd love to field some questions for you.
How will traditional tactics be shaken up by the new additions of Gene Mods, MEC Troopers, and additional weapons? What aspects of the new DLC are you most interested in seeing? Feel free to post whatever questions you'd like to know in the comments, and we'll ask them.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Check out the answers to your questions over here!
Wikian Review Blog - The Bureau: XCOM Declassified
Hello XCOM Wiki members!
It's been a week since the release of The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, and hopefully you've had enough time to determine what you think of it. Why is that? Well the idea behind "Wikian Review" is that we gauge what you, the Wikia XCOM community, really thought of the game. Given that you're all experts on the franchise, it only makes sense that you'd be the most qualified to determine whether or not it succeeded.
Please vote in the poll below, or leave a more detailed summary of your thoughts in the comments. It should make an interesting companion piece to the critical reviews of the game, which we collected here.
Review Roundup: The Bureau: XCOM Declassified
It's been a rocky road for XCOM's reemergence, with a scrapped FPS, a long development time, and a lot of reworking behind it. While XCOM: Enemy Unknown was an unabashed success, The Bureau has a more checkered past. Can it live up to its sister game's glory?
Check out the critical response below and let us know your thoughts in the comments section!
Blacklist has received no negative reviews as of yet.
Questions for XCOM: Enemy Unknown on iOS
So according to a few past announcement and interviews, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the hit PC game of last year, is getting ported to iOS for your tablet enjoyment. If we were to have the opportunity to talk to a developer on XCOM iOS, what would you like to know about the port? Design changes? Anything else?
Let me know in the comments below!
THE EVOLUTION OF THE BUREAU: XCOM DECLASSIFIED
http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/05/10/the-evolution-of-the-bureau-xcom-declassified
The Bureau
Commander,
As you may have become aware from recent press reports, this is not the first time the Earth has faced an extra-terrestrial threat.
Until now the council had classified this information on a need-to-know basis, but with recent speculation in the media, it has been determined that you now need to know.
The incident, which we have classified "The Bureau" occured during 1962, with the XCOM project's USA precursor project dealing with a major threat.
As you can appreciate, with the event so far in the past, it will take us time to move all documents from the archives and construct simulations of the event for training purposes. We expect to have this process complete this August.
We trust you will use this information wisely.
XCOM Shooter/RPG taken offline
Commander,
As you will recall, the "Enemy Unknown" project was not the only XCOM project sanctioned by the council. However, we are disappointed to report that the other project appears to have gone dark.
The "Digital Trends" newsgathering site has noticed that several of the sites hosting XCOM content have gone dark in recent days. Videos placed by the team have also apparently been removed from video sharing sites.
We will continue to update you as more news becomes available.
GDC 2013: Julian Gollop on XCOM: UFO Defense
Lizzunchbox here. Wikia Games attended Julian Gollop’s post-mortem on XCOM: UFO Defense. It was fascinating to hear Mr. Gollop speak about the challenges, trials, and success of one of the most influential games in PC gaming history, and the odd legacy that followed it.
Here are some of the highlights and interesting factoids of his talk:
- The design document for XCOM: UFO Defense was only 12 pages long (“It was the first design doc I had ever written”). The concept was so progressive at the time that Gollop had to travel to Microprose (the game’s publisher) to explain the concept in more detail. Still though, according to Gollop, “the game in its final form didn’t change a whole lot from the original design document”
- Gollop still considers th…
XCOM announced for iOS
Commander,
We appreciate that it is hard for you to remain in full command of the XCOM forces whilst you are away from Headquarters. In order to remove this impediment to success, I'm pleased to announce that the XCOM: Enemy Unknown system is now in development for iOS at our China facility.
As you would expect this will be a full conversion of the tools you have grown to expect from the system, with enhancements made to account for the special control system the iPad and iPhone offer. We will need to reduce the number of maps available to you however.
We expect to have this available for you this summer.

Is there any other ships besides the firestorm? How do you get to other countries?
I was just wondering how in the hell am I suppose to get to other countries so I dont lose them are there any other ships?
Got a friend in customs?
I looked at the featured poll and it didn't have the option I need. 21 days after release, and the Xbox version is not yet on the shelves in Moscow.
Now, what the heck could be going on? Is it an issue with the recently-introduced media material rating system (which recognises PEGI, by the way), or do our beloved customs officers want a bigger bribe? For comparison: PC version is right there and ready. Medal of Honor: Warfighter is there. Halo: Reach made it in two weeks after the global release.
Cm'on, people, do you want to get eaten by Chryssalids?
Is there an official name for the Aliens in XCOM: Enemy Unknown?
I wonder what is the official name for the XCOM: Enemy Unknown Aliens because it's weird that they have no official race name in XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
No offense but, in my opinion, the creators of this game should make an official name for them.
Let me know on your reactions on the comments below. Okay?
Base Building 101
When I bought XCOM: Enemy Unknown, I admittedly wasn't sure of what I was getting into. I probably should have done more research prior to purchasing the game, but some of the surprises definitely enhanced my gameplay. I had no idea that the Base was such an important gameplay aspect. In the base, players can conduct research, build up troops, and control things from the situation room. As a total newbie, I had no idea of what strategy to employ at first - however, after a few play throughs here are some suggestions for base building.

XCOM vs Dishonored?
Oh the winter glut of video games has begun! The sheer amount of games that I desperately want to play - scratch that, have to play, is absolutely amazing. Yes, I have been playing Dishonored (It's so good!), but I have also been playing Borderlands 2 and I am still itching to play XCOM: Enemy Unknown with a fiery passion and Pokemon Black & White (that's right, I have no shame about it either).
IGN has a great video about the games coming out the week, which you can check out below. Also, let me know what ELSE you are playing this week in the comments below! Anything I should we should get our hands on? Anything discarded to the side while you play XCOM? And, perhaps most interestingly, does playing more than one game at the same time affec…

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Review Roundup
Yesterday, as most of us fanatics know, XCOM: Enemy Unknown was released. A few critics have weighed in with their thoughts about the game. Here are a few snippets from publications on both the Internet and print. Make sure to voice your opinions on the matter below

Gamespy
Score: 100/100
Each mission is like a hand of poker -- a skilled player will win most of the time by calculating odds and making safe bets, but when the luck of the cards turns against you, the best you can do is minimize your losses. I've had hot streaks where I've hit every reckless 30% shot I took, and conversely single turns where I've missed multiple sure-thing 80% shots. That random element means you can do everyt…

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Gameplay Preview (from GamesCom)
Along with a few other Wikians, I'm at GamesCom in Cologne Germany this week, and I had the luxury of playing XCOM for an hour today at 2K's booth. This gameplay session consisted of the first hour of the game, which contained three separate missions - two with training wheels and one without. I was super excited to play b/c I remember playing the original XCOM game back in the mid 1990s when it was first released.
I'll admit to being a former journalist, but I'm going to try to keep this post as straightforward as possible. The game was in German, so I wasn't able to absorb all the plot points, but I was able to get the gist of things. (And learn some German to boot!)
Let's get started...
The game starts with a great Arthur C. Clarke quote:

Enemy Unknown Preview on Ars Technica
Ars Technica has had a chance to get hands on with the new X-Com: Enemy unknown game, and have talked about the challenges balancing the expectation of Old gamers, and new gamers. Here's a few snippets.
- The turn-based tactical gameplay in the newest Xcom will be extremely familiar to anyone who played the original games. You're still leading a small squad of alien hunters through urban environments shown from an isometric, overhead perspective, taking turns with the invading forces as you try to outflank them while keeping behind cover. But fans of the original game will immediately notice that the new version is a bit more accommodating to new players, with a tightly scripted 45-minute tutorial (which was all that was playable at E3) that …
