I'm currently playing this right now!
I'm 4 crashed UFO's and 1 Terror site into it. Unfortunately I'm getting hammered in this terror mission so I might have to put my tail between my legs and make a run for it...

The gamespot video keeps freezing up at the same place for me (which is the 470K sales in North America bit)

Pity they didn't make their code-base public.
I'm quite sure others would have stepped in to continue on with it's development.

The good thing about the new game being boring is that it just makes this project that much more desirable.

I've put around 25hrs into it so far..
I......
I'm not enjoying it...
It's not the same game at all. They're just the similar topic.

The constant in & out of mission control, the endless running to cover makes it.... the smaller areas.... the 10mins to more 3 feet....it's a totally different game.... a boring version of the original. I much prefer the old game. I miss having the bigger team of troops, I love being able to shoot windows/walls/hedges in the old game. I love the vast areas... I love the old nades.... the standing in a field of wheat and then being sniped by some &^#%@%%# sectoid from distant darkness with my fave soldier dying and then smashing my keyboard in a rage while the neighbours call the police....    *sob* *sniff*

Fan-Stuff / XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Anyone else here started playing it? I've been playing it for about 4 hours now and I'm not sure if I like it or not.  It's a little 'overcooked' in some areas, too much 'cover' usage etc.

Having a firefight in a cities CBD would be tiresome.... all those elevators that you'd need to use to sweep each floor.

Another idea is to have controllable drones (with no weapons of any sort).
Simply allow them to move longer distances to help quicken those few games when your spending ages looking for the last remaining alien.

I've always wandered what the Xcom gameplay would be like with the following:
a) Claymore type of device (small circular blast-range. triggered by movement on that tile)
b) Sentry-Gun with a linear  but narrow,  firing arc (triggered by movement in a 'row' of tiles, perhaps 10 tiles long?). Does not sweep (would make the game too easy). Perfect for corridors.
