A slight bump, but felt it was better vs creating a whole new topic.
REALLY enjoying the game. I do miss the ability to shoot at stuff several times because of insanely high AP, and the ability to "loot" corpses to get stuff that would help in the mission. At the same time however, it's a bit of a relief not having to deal with inventory management so friggen much. The one thing that urks me the MOST though, is that the aliens get a free turn when they are spotted.
Rather annoying.
Panic is a bit of an issue and you HAVE to choose your battles carefully. I ignore the difficulty of the mission (depending) and choose which is in most need. Seems to help out quite a bit. Satellites are something to keep up on as well, but money is an issue at first, to say the least.
I keep hearing people saying that Snipers are the crappiest unit in the game. Now granted, in my last game I seem to ONLY get Snipers (felt like a 2 out of 3 Rookies would turn into a Sniper), I find them to be extremely useful. Slap a scope on them and they will damn near do all the work for you.
Was doing really well in my last go, then XCOM just decided that I needed a good ol
FACE RAPE. 2 Mission, 12 Solider's....LOTS of pain, and death.
Mostly death.
Of course this sent panic through the friggen roof. Then the 3rd mission, Alien Terror...yeah. I think I would've accomplished more if I had just blown MYSELF up.
Damn it...I am really enjoying it.
