r/ZeroCompany

Since ZCOM was announced about a year back, I was HYPED and couldnt wait for it. But recently there is one feeling, surpassing this hype.

​

Its the feeling whenever I see someone making a XCOM reference below a ZCOM post.

​

"Welcome back commander"

​

"Cant wait to miss my 95% point blank shots all mission"

​

"XCOM Star Wars Modders out of their job now"

​

"Who gave Bradford a Blaster?"

​

Hell even the name "ZCOM"

​

Whenever I see these things, I really feel the XCOM community uniting with the hype for this game and knowing that I am part of that feels amazing!

​

There is no real point to this post other than sharing these thoughts so I am gonna end it by telling all my fellow commanders out there that I appreciate you and that I cant wait for the day, when we all will sit down again and relive our best and worst memories in a totally new game.

​

Thank you, for showing me how amazing this community is.

There's a new article posted today (https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/zero-company/news/lead-zero-company-to-victory), is this the deep dive they were talking about?

​

It's an interesting read either way!

Here are three games to help pass the time while waiting for Zero Company.

(Not really.)

XCOM 2

The obvious choice. A lot of the developers at Bit Reactor previously worked on this game, and the influence is pretty clear.

Permadeath, Skill trees,Highly customizable operatives, A constant sense of urgency and desperation

If you're looking for something that captures the tactical side of Zero Company, this is probably the closest match.

Star Wars: Republic Commando

An older pick, I'll admit, but it's a great game.

It features a darker tone, is set during the Clone Wars, and offers a surprisingly fun arcade-style squad command system.

The story is simple, concise, and doesn't overstay its welcome. Despite its age, it still holds up remarkably well.

Star Wars Jedi (EA) Games

Not particularly tactical, but they share some of the storytelling that I think we'll see in Zero Company.

They explore the rise of the Empire, and references to the Clone Wars are everywhere.

From a gameplay perspective, especially in Jedi: Survivor, It is an absolute joy to play.

And if you've completely run out of things to do...

Watch Andor.

It's basically a masterpiece.

It’s now confirmed that we can have Clone Troopers on our team. We also know that we can have one jedi at the same time on our team. On top of that there were rumours about the story taking place during the last year of the Galactic Republic and the creation of Galactic Empire. That made me realize one thing.

I think it would be cool and interesting if order 66 happened in the middle of the story. We know that our characters aren’t permanent. They’ll actually be gone if they happen to die.

I hope that if we happen to have the jedi and a clone trooper in the same team, the clone trooper will get an order 66 message from the emperor at some point and then kill the jedi. That would be the most logical outcome if the story is actually set during that period of time. It wouldn’t make sense for the clones not to do anything unless they are considered rogue/decommissioned, which at least Trick seems to be. The other clones we can recruit to our team might just be regular clones with their inhibitor chips. To be fair, there’s a chance that Trick will also have that chip inside his head.
