There are a dozen different types of missions I've seen, the early ones 
tend to be things like "destroy an item", "recon an area" and "grab a live 
alien for research", they then move into the more traditional "kill all 
aliens in this area", "protect this base", "take over that base" and "deal 
with that downed UFO". There are also several "plot-missions" (I won't 
give away any details here) that advance your understanding of what is 
going on with Earth and the Aliens...
All this is across different types of landscape (as we have come to expect 
from this type of game) including woodlands, cities, polar regions, 
military bases and other such stuff.

However, with all these different types of missions most of them come into 
2 categories: "kill X aliens" or "see/collect X aliens/objects". I found 
that the gloss over the missions hid that though ;o)

Anyway, that's enough of me sounding like a sycophantic marketing guy ;o)
Hope it answered your question....
