I think I only got 2 assaults in the whole game.
I found I used them to close in and stun, but not a lot else. I racked up a lot of kills with my favourite assault early in the game, but as plasma became available and my sniper/support troops manned up, buy the time the assault had closed in there was little left alive.Completed last night. After all the dicking about with psi training and mind shields, when I finally met the uber ethereal, a double tap from a sniper dropped him.....Final stats were something like 58 missions; best heavy 52 kills, best assault 43 kills, best support 29 kills, best sniper 134 kills....
Will now replay on classic with ironman enabled; suspect I'm going to struggle this time.
It's a great little game, and I'm really pleased it's been made with some love for the original, and that a whole load of people have bought it.

Will be interestng to see what DLC will be coming out, whether it will be new content or scenarios etc.
The first DLC is a set of three missions set in Asia where you gain early access to the blaster launcher and a unique character that you can retain and take back into the main xcom game apparently.Looks like the next patch is due to come out soon.

Boo! No mention of sorting the odd accuracy issues on the PC. http://forums.2kgames.com/showthread.php?177126-XC...
Ok; update.
Classic difficulty with Ironman. I got slaughtered. I didn't actually get to a "you lose screen", but it became increasingly obvious that my decent soldiers were getting killed/injured too quickly and my rookies were struggling to survive long enough to become combat effective.
Panicking rookies are no use at all.
So, I'm going to have to rethink my strategy.
Currently playing classic without ironman, and while trying not to spam the saves, I am having a couple of goes at various missions.

I'm now replaying it with IronMan enabled. Was going brilliantly until I lost an entire squad of nearly captains. Also, with money tight, I lost all my lazer weapons with the squad KIA. Then had to do a "Difficult" mission with a bunch of rookies armed with regular rifles. Kept them together so that whatever they meet they gang up on and hopefully kill.
Just got this at the weekend (had to upgrade to Windows 8 first, which was an arse).
Very nice though. Bringing back some memories of the first one, and seems very nicely done. The view of the underground base is pretty cool, and I love the odd cut scene as your soldiers dash from cover to cover.

On the final mission, stuck. There is a room with a door that I can't get into. Anyone had this? Some discussion online with this on PC, but I'm playing on Xbox...
Basically you missed an alien somewhere so go back the way you came in and find it. For me it was a mutton hiding in a corner (a bit annoying!!)Happy82 said:

In my case, after sweeping the entire area 3 times; decided it was a bug and restarted.Additional. It may be my game of the year (but I adored laser squad and enemy unknown); but I still haven't managed to beat it on classic....
