The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (Video Game)	comment	The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is a tactical Third-Person Shooter prequel to the 2012 XCOM: Enemy Unknown by 2K Games, for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. It was released on August 20, 2013.Turns out that the "Bureau of Strategic Emergency Command" (which would later become XCOM) was established by JFK as a rapid response unit against communist invasion rather than aliens. But when the Outsiders arrive in middle America in 1962 and Sectoids start showing up in the streets, all bets are off and The Bureau reorganizes itself into XCOM to fight back. The game shares much with Enemy Unknown, including art style, cover mechanics, and emphasis on tactical thinking instead of running-and-gunning. Mike Futter of GameInformer compared it to the later Mass Effect titles in feel.The Bureau had a Troubled Production. When it was initially announced, XCOM: Enemy Unknown had yet to be revealed, so many fans of the X-COM series were appalled to see the franchise revived as an In Name Only First-Person Shooter, leading to massive fan backlash. In response, The Bureau (then known simply as XCOM) was delayed, renamed, and heavily reworked to have more in common with the rest of the franchise. Such changes included a shift to third-person, a greater emphasis on tactics, and the alien antagonists going from Starfish Aliens to Sectoids and other familiar X-COM species. Meanwhile, the entire production was delayed as 2K Marin went to assist Irrational Games with BioShock Infinite.You play as William Carter, a CIA operative stuck in a desk job thanks to a Dark and Troubled Past that interfered with his otherwise stellar work overseas, who has just arrived at a remote military installation in Groom Range, Nevada with a briefcase in tow, containing a top-secret item that no one else is allowed to handle. Shortly after Director Faulke of the Bureau summons him, he is attacked by the person sent to escort him and choked into unconsciousness. When he comes to, his attacker is dead, but the item has been destroyed. He leaves his room, only to find the base under attack from advanced beings not of this Earth...A small number of DLC has been released: Hangar 6 R&D: Released on October 9, 2013 for Xbox 360 and November 20, 2013 for PC. A story-based DLC which follows Bureau agent Nico DaSilva shortly before the events of the game. invoked Codebreakers: Originally a Pre-Order Bonus, it was released on October 15, 2013. A side-mission where Agent Carter is sent out to investigate why a key communications facility responsible for intercepting and interpreting the enemy’s transmissions has gone dark. invoked Light Plasma Pistol: Originally a Pre-Order Bonus, it was released on October 15, 2013. It adds the titular Light Plasma Pistol to the game.

Agent Carter had one in his past, due to the death of his father, wife, and son in a fire at his home while he was overseas, blaming himself for not being there to save them. The first "Sleepwalker" XCOM encounters suffered from one just prior to succumbing. As a result, he's stuck in the BSOD for the rest of his life, unless a cure is found.

It carries over to the person you choose to merge with for the final mission, implying that either the tic originated from or stuck with Asaru or they're just Going Through the Motions. Nico does not have these particular animation tics in the Hangar 6 R&D DLC campaign, suggesting it's more a case of the tics being particular to Asaru rather than the animators simply not caring.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (Video Game) / int_1f92e4c6	comment	Regenerating Health: To an extent. The health bar for each XCOM agent is divided into a series of pips. If one of these pips is only partially depleted, it'll regenerate, but if it's completely depleted, it grays out and only Carter's Heal or Drone (if the player chooses the Heal Beam instead of the Lift Beam perk) abilities can restore it. It only takes a couple of hits to fully deplete a pip, so you're very reliant on simply not getting hit, or using Carter's healing ability if you do take damage.

Additionally, it also features the Vanport Flood as a "recent" event on the world map, despite it occurring as far back as 1948.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (Video Game) / int_29338986	comment	Side Quest: Minor operations don't progress the story, and provide XP and often early or exclusive access to better packs and/or weapons. There are also Dispatch missions, but those only permit fellow Agents to go, and are completed while Carter's team is on one of the full Operations (whether minor or storyline). There are also a few minor events you can do around HQ that can lead to Dispatch Ops opening up, such as finding agents infected with the Sleepwalker Virus in base and having an Op open up where you find out how they got infected while on a mission. Most egregiously, if you choose to have Nico survive for experimentation to try to find a cure for the Sleepwalkers, an event towards the end of the game allows you to actually wake him up and save him. This leads to Dispatch Op where the game tells you that the cure has surely been found! But all this results in, in actuality, is another backpack; the only way for the Sleepwalkers to be cured for good is to choose Weir as the next Asaru host. The aforementioned event chain has does not affect any ending in the slightest.

You'd think it'd be the best weapon in the game, but it's far from it. You can carry only 4 shots for it at once, and a single shot, while heavily damaging, is not strong enough to one-hit-kill the Elite Mooks who make up most of your enemies in the last missions, let alone a Muton or Sectopod.

Headshots, bonus damage from flanking, and researching better weaponry are pretty important to taking out enemies quickly and effectively.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what is bound to follow... Another recording details surgery that sounds quite painful. Though in this case there was not much choice, as the patient did not respond to any anesthetics.

It is also much harder than the original campaign, as you end up facing Elite Mooks and mini-bosses right off the bat, and in larger numbers than in the campaign, all while being limited to human weapons until the last few arenas.

However, before the game even begins the Bureau had switched over to recovering and researching alien technology on Earth such as Elerium. Faulke had also used his high level political connections to pretty much sever the Joint Chiefs control over the Bureau. In the epilogue the chosen host of the Ethereal is debriefed by someone referred to as the 'Councilman', implying the Bureau now answers to a global organization instead of just the U.S. government. Enemy Unknown hints that EXALT is the remnants of the Bureau, making it a splinter faction offshoot of the XCOM project.

According to him, his support of the nazis was a matter of opposing communism and feeding his family, and he had no hand in the human experiments and was was trapped between a rock and a hard place when he found out about them. This is bull: the nazis weren't subtle about their true colors with regards to e.g. exterminating the disabled, "if only I'd known" routines can get bent. For what it's worth when Carter captures Origin's Ethereal, Dresner is asked by other scientists if he is planning on studying it.

The Infiltrator, now having had his implant removed, is amazed by the freedom of thought it allows. If you use the Nice guy route of interrogating him, he even willingly gives up info, as Carter offers his race a chance at true freedom and peaceable existence. Foregone Conclusion: However, since this game is stated to be the history of XCOM in the Enemy Unknown universe, and we don't see any Zudjari there...

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (Video Game) / int_c36cba70	comment	Mooks: The game hits all the FPS basics when it comes to enemy types: The Goomba: Sectoids are basically the Grunts from Halo (Carter even uses the term 'grunts' to refer to them in the opening mission), Slave Mooks who are individually weak and poorly equipped, but are deployed in numbers to support more high-value units. Elite Mooks: The 3 basic Outsiders types (Infantry, Phantoms, and Snipers) all have Elite variants that are equipped with regenerating energy shields and better weapons as well as having about twice as much health. Super Powered Mooks: At least 1 Outsider Commander appears in most encounters; besides having energy shields, they can also use the same special abilities as the player to support their minions; summoning turrets, summoning drones, bestowing shields, or mind-controlling your squadmates. Fortunately, each commander type is limited to one ability, while you as the player can use them all at once. Giant Mook/Heavily Armored Mook: Mutons are huge, walk slowly, are equipped with laser shotguns, and can take more than 200 assault rifle rounds before dropping. They also wear heavy body armor that you have to punch through before you can even damage them properly. Beating one requires a coordinated effort from your squad combined with liberal spamming of special abilities (or later in the game you can just use the Lift + Blaster Launcher combo to beat them quickly). Elite Mutons are even tougher and can use their jetpacks to Goomba Stomp all over the battlefield.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Some of the backpacks XCOM agents can wear look like mini protonpacks. One of the achievement names is "The Last Suit You'll Ever Wear". "Welcome to Earth" involves finishing off 20 aliens with punches. "Sight Beyond Sight" requires 15 unique scans. "Clever Girl" involves killing 40 flanked enemies. "Top. Men." is probably another one. "What Are You Without Your Armor?" for stripping the armor off five Mutons before killing them. During the interrogation of the Soviet spy, said spy refers to Carter as Stirlitz at one point, while the subtitles contain an entirely different line altogether. note It should be noted that while Seventeen Moments Of Spring takes place during World War II, the book came out in 1969, making the reference a mild case of Anachronism Stew, as, dating aside, it's entirely plausible due to the movie adaptation's incredible Memetic Mutation. The Sleepwalkers are stuck in a loop where they constantly repeat a single sentence, much like the victims in the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. There's a Big Daddy doll in Operation Guardian.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (Video Game) / int_fb2ff597	comment	Last-Second Ending Choice: Depending on who you chose for the final mission. Doctor Weir links up to the Mosaic Core and orders the aliens to surrender. The Zudjari help rebuild the damage they caused and hide any trace of their existence. Earth isn't willing to let them stay, so XCOM returns their mothership to them so they can search for a new home. The Sleepwalkers are cured, and have no memory of what happened during their infection. Agent Weaver links up to the Mosaic Core and orders the aliens to kill each other. All their installations are destroyed, as is the mothership. The Sleepwalkers are Mercy Killed. Director Faulke links up to the Mosaic Core and orders the aliens to surrender. The surviving Zudjari are all executed after they help hide their presence. Their installations and the mothership are destroyed to maintain secrecy. The Sleepwalkers are left in medical care to die from natural causes.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (Video Game) / int_fb7bc4a8	comment	Never Trust a Title: Most of the "truth erasing" happens off-screen, your job is mostly just blasting aliens in the face.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (Video Game) / int_fc451ba4	comment	Follow the Leader: Strategy interface aside, many previews of the new TPS iteration point out how Mass Effect-like the gameplay is. It's even got a dialogue wheel now! Though, to make it legally distinct from Bioware's creation, The Bureau's wheel is mirrored, with investigative conversation options being on the right, while the progression-oriented ones are on the left.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (Video Game) / int_ff369faa	comment	Symbiotic Possession: Ideally, this is what happens when an Ethereal bonds with a host. Demonic Possession: If the two don't agree, though, things can get unpleasant, one way or the other. The Zudjari also seem to have this view of the Ethereals in general, since they're repeatedly referred to as "demons".
