    Can't wait to leave work in a couple hours to jump back in. Gonna grab a cold one and since i now have a better understanding of what i should be doing i plan on restarting from scratch.

    After getting reacquainted with XCOM the past few nights that I actually had time this is what I did today. I started from scratch. I'm going normal-Ironman though instead of Classic. After a playthrough I plan on doing classic.

    I hate sounding like I get paid for this but I really hope people are spreading the word about this game. It deserves to be supported!!

        Did you have to re-do the tutorial missions again? I have done them twice now (demo and retail) and don't fancy having to do them again.

          No.

            on the PC version there is a check box to skip the tutorial, I would think it would be there for consoles as well... nevermind

                What are your guys favorite classes?
                I like the Rocket Launcer of Heavy, but that's it, since they can't use Laser Rifles. Snipers are decent so far for me too.
                A support class with 3 medigel and a laser rifle also is very good.

                    That was awesome.
                    On the flip side, there's nothing more depressing than taking a rookie on their first mission only to have them get killed.

                        Hopefully it fixes the problems when moving/fighting indoors.

                        That's my only problem. The damn camera keeps showing me the roof rather than the right layout.

                            re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

                            Just picked up XCOM and I had to go on adventure to get it. I went to two Gamestops and both of them were sold out. Then I went to Best Buy and didn't see any displayed, but when I asked an employee he was able to grab me a copy from the back. I also traded in games for the first time ever at Best Buy and it seemed like I got a little bit more credit than I would have at Gamestop. I doubt I'll use them much though because it's kind of inconvenient for me to drive all the way there.

                            Anyways, looking forward to checking this out.
