Could you please add me to your beta player list??

I would like to see:

*An inventory that is easier and less time consuming to use,

*Higher screen resolutions and SVGA graphics + maybe zoomable tactical
screen

*A prone position for my poor troops!!

*Audio Speech along the lines of "Arrrrgghh! I`m hit!!!" when a soldier get
shot by a gut
 splattering Plasma gun blast! Instead of "Xavier Harrison has died from
fatal injuries"

*A really cool ending FMV movie!

*Multiplay support would be nice, maybe a possible Strategy game + Tactical
Games

ie: you can choose some soldiers and equipment and just duke it out in a
tactical map of your choice or A full blown Strategy. Aliens vs X-Com
Geoscape kinda game.

* Variation in MAPS!!! Maybe some kinda terrain improvement. I would really
like to see transparent water effects, and maybe when you select troops you
get a little pic of their faces. These could change when injuries/
experience have been received.


Alot of ideas, and i know you will probably not be able to incorporate all
of them in your product but if you include just one of 'em, I am gonna buy
it!!!!!
