I finally finished the game. My campaign lasted 333 days. All my soldiers were top rank. I had 2 snipers, 2 support, 2 assaults. 2 of 'em had PSI ability. The last stage was very long. I think my final battle was a bit easy:




One big thing that was missing in the game, imho, was free-aiming. I liked being able to shoot out walls in the original game. Then you could also shoot mc'd aliens. All in all, it was a short, but enjoyable game. Time to restore, and finish off some more achievements ;)

Once everyone is up to Colonel it actually gets very easy../ I haven't had a guy die since one of the first 5 missions or so.

Still cool though! I like how the story keeps things going just enough to keep it from being repetetive

I am pretty close to the end I think. I only had 1 veteran with abilities, so I am bringing up rookies to build up a crew of psychos :)

I beat the game a few nites ago too. I agree with what Presto said. In the old xcom games, I would blow up walls or objects too to give me line of sight if I needed to. Speaking of turn based strategy games, you should check out an older game called silent storm if you haven't already.

I am at the end level, but I am actually considering starting again at hardcore difficulty without saves :considered:

I tried classic mode once and the very first mission I lost 2 guys, got one shotted. 2nd mission lost another 2 guys lol

I am a few months into classic, it is more fun IMO. Much harder. You really have to be more defensive. Finding it tough to get enough satellites in the air, and already let one UFO escape. At normal I was so overpowered, now I feel weak :okay:

It's $16, at GMG with coupon code: GMG20-P4DLK-FKYRS, until Friday.

Sweet, worked on BL2 as well :D

Used the code and it only went down to $40.

You just missed it! It was $20, and with 20% off, it ended up at $16. I thought the offer said it was good till Friday 5pm, but maybe it said AM??
