Well, do ya?

Personally, I wouldn't like to become one. Well you get 20k each month, but probably it's mostly boring (few missions during entire month) and heck risky. Not worth of it. -_-

I'd think it's likely to be a plasma magnet too, but hey :P

for sure, it would be much more exciting than my current life, and you make quite a bundle :D

still, in real life you don't have Load and Save buttons so it would be dangerous. also, it would be real time which is even more dangerous. which makes it even cooler :P

Average combat life of, what?, 1.3 seconds? Yeah, right! That's why the armies of the world are full of 18-year-olds; they're stupid enough to think that's cool!

when the base is raided, always remember the safety rule #1: "When everything else fails, hide in the toilets." :P

Well, I would love to be part of xcom, especially if it is realtime. Then the only thing that could touch me are blaster bombs, and those chryssalid monsters.

Of course, if you were a civie you would be even worse off. No weapon, forced to being stupid, the list goes on...

i would be everything but a rookie. i can really see the commander coming over and saying:
- Rookie Albano, grab those 2 primed grenades and move into that alien base.
- But sir, isn't that suicide?
- Nonsense! You'll do a great thing for your country.
:P

I get payed more in my current job, but then again in 1999 I got payed less than that... And umm yeah well my current job is not really that risky, so maybe I should just stick with that, and hunt aliens on the computer where I can load if anyone important die... (not that I do that of course...)

I'd join X-COM/X-Corps, but the idea of carrying two primed high explosives and running through a UFO doesn't appeal to me. :whatwhat: Sure, it'd be quick, and even glorious to some, but I'd rather run across a field toward a chrysallid with nothing but a cattle prod. :D Take *ZAP* THAT, *ZAP* you delicious monster! *ZAP* Take... URK... uh... *drool* :explode:

chrysallid hits you over head with big rock. Starts riding you like a horse through the field with cattle prod up your nose giving you constant zaps. :devillaugh: Edited by Raven

I wish, I wish, I wore my standard issue C4 vest. :crying:

That's a neat idea, though. Would Xenocide AI allow the aliens to humiliate X-Corps officers like that? Like, you're down to your last guy, then he's MC'ed and forced to beat himself to death? Snakemen riding on zombified X-Corps agents? Sectoids parading on a cyberdisc, bowling through the last few agents? I'd lose a few Skyrangers just to see some alien victory parades.

Oh, and just an afterthought: if it weren't for us fat lazy overpaid professionals, you heroic people would be stuck with the starting weaponry for the whole length of the conflict (in this case it wouldn't be terribly long).

I totally agree, I'd prefer to be a Scientist/engineer in XCOM, much more in my line of work :D

It depends on four things. One: what is the difficulty level? Two: does my commander have Util? Three: what are my commander's ethics on reloading? Four: do I get Commander Tommy's autograph? Edited by Tsereve
