Is it really an RPG hybrid now now, as stated on Wikipedia? -- AggressiveNavel ( talk) 09:44, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
what happens when aliens shoot your avenger down?.. facepalm... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.146.144.101 ( talk) 21:54, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
Today's announcement ( [1] and [2]) shows that XCom 2 has been delayed until February, 2016. I updated the references I could find in the article to reflect this, though only used the twitter link as the source, as the xcom.com link is behind an age-verification check. -- Yamla ( talk) 16:13, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Someone mentioned to me that the game might be banned in the UK as it violates the 2006 Terrorism Act which prevents any positive portrayals of anything that could be perceived as terrorism. Does anyone know more on this? are there sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.103.31 ( talk) 20:49, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
The current screenshot is from a pre-release build and was uploaded in June. I don't suppose we could replace it with an up-to-date screenshot? — Strongjam ( talk) 17:55, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
The gameplay section is basically a feature list. It would be very beneficial to the article's value if some descriptions of how the game is played (e.g., how does the turn-based mechanism work). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.253.107.5 ( talk) 03:01, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
"while criticism was mainly directed at its poor performance on many computers.[46]" I believe that this is improved quite a bit. I can attest to that myself, it runs very smooth on a gtx 670 on a wqhd screen with medium to max settings. I hope someone can find a good source to reference this. Would a statement from the producer plus forum where many people report improved performance be sufficient in this case? PizzaMan ( ♨♨) 23:23, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

I know firsthand how much it isn't fun to wait more than two months for a GA review. So, I have some free time and I'll be glad to review it for you. Expect a review today, barring any complications.

Sources look good and solid, mostly from WP:VG/S. Situationally reliable sources appear to fit the criteria for use. No issues here.
@ OceanHok: This is a pretty good-looking article. Some quips and a few things that need a look, but I think you can get it straightened out. I'll put the article on hold for the time being. Red Phoenix talk 15:24, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
The article says “supplies can be gathered by excavating alien debris from the avenger, and intel can be collected by making contact with the resistance in other regions.”
Firstly, it seems odd to declare excavating the avenger as the primary source of supplies, that honor should go to supply drops from the resistance. And there are many other ways of procuring supplies, such as completing most missions, performing avenger scans, trading at the black market, and more.
Also from what I understand, making contact with other regions doesn’t provide intel, it costs intel. Phoenix51291 ( talk) 14:35, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
