Yea, I'm not using any rockets or nades - Bodies=$$$

Yea, I love hard games, easy single player games make me bored fast (Skyrim*cough*)
So far the Best part is how they built the economy/research into the game, fucking great, and the randomness of the missions.

Also FUCK the standard jets you start off with, stupid planes are better off suiciding into the enemy air craft.

The first game missions were WAY more random. In some cases, you would have missions where you would fight the aliens and they would be dispersed around the map, and in other ones, they would be all clumped together, of varying types.

Unlike now, where it does happen, but most cases you bump into groups of similar type aliens. Floaters or mutons or discs..

Plus in the first game, you could buy scientists and engineers, (and sell), so it was much more uber controlled. A balance because you had limited personnel space, so you really have to watch you don't run out of soldiers, have enough scientists to stay ahead of the curve, and have enough engineers to make what you researched.

It's available on steam for like 10 pennies, you should give it a go.
