war of the chosen - How do i start it?

[Sgt Bol]

ok, so I bought war of the chosen, and the main screen is different. but when I start the game I seem to be gettign the same start as XCOM2, the plant c4 mission is still the same statue as before.

Am I doing something wrong?

The mission can be the same (rng based) but you should have had a new opening cinematic.

War of the chosen is 80% the same campaig.

[Sgt Bol]

Into was different. 35 quid for 80% the same game is a bit of a rip off

[Sgt Bol]

Thanks for the info darkrage

It's not the same game, keep playing past Gatecrasher. As long as you've selected the obvious War of the Chosen panel in the launcher.

Have you done the first 4 missions? Because the game is a lot different after the first four missions.

It is not 80% the same campaign. There's a lot of new stuff.

errr no it isn't. Spoken like someone who hasn't played it. It changes pretty much every single aspect of the game. Not a rip-off at all in my opinion and I don't buy many games at full price. Worth every penny.

People continue to call it a "DLC" but it isn't one in the traditional sense. It's a fully fledged expansion changing the entire game. it's basically XCom 2.5

It's not RNG based, it IS always the same mission and no, it is not 80% the same. Again someone who hasn't played it talking out of his arse lol. I love you kids, you make me chuckle :)

WotC is the best XCOM expansion ever (XCOM: EW looks like a grain of sand next to WotC), every mission is different, everything is different and new. Believe me, is not a rip off at all.

I only went by darkrage response. I only played the first mission then stopped because it seemed identical to xcom2 core so came here in case I had to set something that I missed.

First mission is different depending on difficulty I think, try a harder difficulty and see. ;)

Can confirm difficulty has nothing to do with it, have done Gatecrasher 3 times with 3 different campaigns in WotC, all on Vet can all 3 were different maps. Gotta say the change in scenery is nice, makes those quick restarts a little less tedious. So there is at least 3 gatecrasher maps.

They are all the same in terms of blowing something up but the maps can be different.

i restarted, and this time for the platform gatecrasher. Also noticed a few changes. Have to say I love the lost mission....was really feeling it :)

I'm sorry to nerco this thread, but I don't get it. I thought the last councilman died on the last mission of XCOM2 but now after supposedly starting XCOM 2 WOTC he's still alive?

he isn't dead because he hasn't died yet the wotc is a restart with the new features.
