Long War 2 is a significant overhaul of XCOM 2 aimed at giving players the feel of running a worldwide guerrilla war against ADVENT and offering them a greater variety of strategic and tactical experiences.

There are several missions where it doesn't even make sense that we have timers pre-concealment break, etc. I feel that not only they didn't do anything interesting with the timers but they did nothing at all. If I had to voice any criticism in particular it would be this. Also I increased timers a fair bit, if I didn't my enjoyment of the Long War would be far lower. Feels long but (so far at least) not as grindy like when you'd have 2 days left for the next research and get like 5 missions in between lol. The Beta Feedback threads are located here.
