Sattelites can make a country's panic level go from a full bar down to two marks. So, yeah, build more sattelites!

It seemed as though one of the research cutscenes inferred to weapons being destroyed with the Dr. saying something like "I wonder if there is a way to prevent that..."

Anyone figure this out?

Seems it is random. Hoever, explosives will increase the chance of destroying any alien tech.

I have beat several Terror missions and I play on Normal (Not Ironman though). I have b eat the ones that say "Difficult" and also ones that say "Very Difficult".

I simply take it very slow, always end a move under cover, and keep my guys on overwatch. A sniper is very helpful as is having at least 5 soldiers in the group. All of my troops except one have the item that gives two extra HP in the backpack. The other soldier has a medikit.

My squad has a Heavy, sniper, support, assault, and one or two rookies so I can unlock other troop types.

I bought the retail version, installed it, and now there is a patch (or some other Steam related download) of greater than 1.2 GB. Anyone else?

... All publishers are interested in is what is popular currently which sadly is mostly first person shooters and action oriented games...edwardecl

While I agree with a lot of your post (A graphic remake of the original XCOM would suffice for me as well) I don't think I should have to point out that companies strive to produce what sells.

If you (and you may, I don't know) owned a company, you would only want to produce or sell what turned a profit. You could not stay in business producing what does not move. Neither can a game company. It isn't 100% the fault of a game maker that certain games do not sell.

This was a big part of the original that really made the turn-based part of the game so intense for me. So far in all the preview videos it seems all the enemies are shown on the map whether or not they are in a soldiers field of vision. Does anyone know if this is going to be an option that can be toggled on or off? Also I wonder what they have done with the music and whether or not it resembles that pulsating beat that really freaked me out when playing the original. Thanks!okunote83

The music I don't know about. But in the 2 hour play now video it appears the enemies that are in fog of war are not known about.

so i been playing this a while.. saved all mu missiles for the boss (found a couple of laser weapons)

I came up against the boss... and the first encounter was ok... but the second... wow that guy whipped me proper... how do i beat all those drones and that massive dammage to all my systems?

A fully upgraded cloak is very helpful. If you pop it off, you get 15 seconds of time where he can't hit you. By then, the drones will be gone.

I would love to see this game on the Xbox later this year (if possible). Torchlight was huge success when Runic released it on console and I think Microsoft need more dungeon games like this.

While we're wishing, let's see it on the Wii U. Might even be a "system seller" game if it becomes popular enough.

I have only died a couple hundred times as a necro...at level 14. That's good. Right?

Howdy folks.

After installing Guild Wars 2 , i was told to update my Geforce Gt 540m driver to the Verde 304.79 Beta Driver. After doing this i played the game for 2 hours with no problems at all. Later i decided to go on youtube and i noticed that my HD resolution is very bad now when watching any videos at all. When streaming any videos at all regardless of website, the quality is bad and it also seems a bit shaky. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks.

Myabe you should roll your drivers back to see if that is the issue or if something else happened...
