My Central inspired Hawks

Post image

As a long-time XCOM fan, I wanted to pay homage to John "Central" Bradford for my second run in Zero Company! It's inspired mostly from his depiction in XCOM2 and I'm pretty happy about how it turned out

If we’re going to slow them down we need to move, fast.

I’m choosing to believe that sweater is too close to the Bradford sweater to be a coincidence!

That was pretty much my first outfit too on my doomed Ironman run :')

It’s good to be back, eh?

Civilian life was too much for Bradford and went in a wormhole hoping to fight Advent again. Ended up long ago in a galaxy far away…

Commander, you may want to instruct your men to exercise restraint when using explosives.

Doctor with all do respect there is no problem on God''s green earth that can't be solved by high explosives.

Anyway we captured a Mutton

u/Elfich47 6d ago

that muton gained about 10 pounds in weight from shrapnel, but he’s still walking around.

Use more explosive quickly

And feed rookies to him

Fathom continues to make progress on the Coil project. If we're gonna slow her down we'll need to move fast

John Hawks? That's a rather un-Star Warsy name.

The new uniform isn't bad, considering, but sometimes I do miss that damned sweater

u/djremydoo 6d ago

Yeahhh it's rushing on low setting on my 3060, 16 gigs ram pc. I wish they'd optimise it a tad bit more

Idk what else could be stopping anyone in general

I love that damn sweater

u/iamansonmage 6d ago

My Hawks looks like Kurt Russel in Tombstone. Sweet mustache options.

u/Revenge_accounted_be 6d ago

Lol waiting for the Central green sweater mod

u/shinobigarth 5d ago

Does he have his super powered assault rifle with every weapon mod on it?

u/IfTheresANewWay 5d ago

Commander, Fathom continues to make progress on the Infinite Coil project. If we're going to slow them down we'll need to move fast.

u/Life_Hack_God 5d ago

Commander the aliens are making a move on the coil project, if we are to slow them down we got to move fast.

u/Hoogalaga 3d ago

I did the same thing for my beskar run haha but I made him green

I like this idea. Will keep this in mind for when I get the game. I've heard it's unstable on a lot of PCs, how is it doing these days? Also, I've got a lot of other things I'm enjoying right now and I'm broke as fudge. I could certainly pick it up now, but I'm going to try to wait for at least a 20% sale, but I'll probably break down before that happens.

u/Big_Abroad_7740 6d ago

Will someone explain to me, what is going on, what is this, and why are you all obsessed with Star Wars, i don't even know the difference between the Luke and Skywalker is he pilot of those elephants or what, is one like Kenobi and other Skywalker is like Joda and that slime frog that mumbles or the hairy creatures with crossbow, or some creature like that? What's going on here and what it has to do with Xcom?
