I am kicking this game in the dick on normal by Arbit 10/10/2012, 5:51pm PDT
One death so far (an autonamed cprl. Hicks!), 15 or so missions. I've had some close ones that put half my roster in the infirmary though.

A sniper with the squad sight perk almost seems like cheating. It's like playing the original - use a rookie to spot while the high accuracy sniper pops heads from three screens away. With the +2 damage on pistols perk he's damn good in close quarters, too.

Assault with the double shot perk is also absurdly good. Muton or chrysilid up in your face? Run in from a screen and a half away, unload two point blank shotgun blasts to the face.

Things I am hating? The game CONSTANTLY FUCKING WITH MY ZOOM. Holy shit, why does this game think it needs to zoom in whenever I click on someone?

I changed the hotkeys for rotating the map and I can no longer rotate counterclockwise. :(

Navigating the base menus too quickly gives me motion sickness!

Also, whenever Sargeant Sweater opens his fucking mouth. "We're going to Egypt." Yes, I do remember clicking on that. Also also, sometimes their pointless dialogue obscures menu options. Just... the effort to cinematize everything is unwelcome and annoying.

On the flip side, the premission loadout music is so fucking epic. I don't mean epic like epicboy or that cheeseburger was epic; I mean I want to start beating the piss out of an alien in real life kind of epic.
