Completely by coincidence I have the week following launch off work \o/

I'd forgotten all about the agonising sense of defeat wehn your squad gets demolished and then the only at all qualified guy goes to the next mission with three rookies and gets rammed up the arse twice as hard.
Just sitting here, forehead->table and wondering why oh why do i do this to myself.
Ah well, new game
Had this ages and never got around to playing it and not played the early xcoms. What a game! Addictive as fuck, why have I not played it before?!?!
I got to what I presume is the end mission of invading the aliens base. Can I just ignore the mission and carry on? Reading up on the game and I have hardly unlocked any of the tech...
basically, the tech unlock of both you and ai is linked to how far down the YOU MUST DO THIS SOON COS ITS STORY missions you are
I'm playing through this again at the moment.
Does anyone else find themself overly reliant on the snipers?
Pfft. I only just noticed you could sell stuff on the grey market sitting on a fortune now and ordered a whole ton of equipment.
yea, snipers make the game very easy sadly, especially when you have squad sight. set yourself a challenge to use snipers but without squad sight, probably make it more fun then at least rather than just insta gibbing everything on the screen.
I would love a mod that makes people take turns to fire from overwatch. I play a very defensive style and it is really annoying when everyone shoots at the same enemy from overwatch when there are several incoming.
That's probably a bit too hardcoded into the system, but agreed. Should be based on the vision, though with a slight "i saw it first! No me!" tweak so sometimes they would fire at the same time.
Started playing it again myself, really addictive and damned annoying when you forget to save for ages and mess shit up
