All opinions appreciated :) Most people think the original is better, but I like Terror. There's a larger variety of missions and they are more difficult, including several different 2-stage missions. The maps in general are much bigger, which can be a real pain trying to find that last alien. Hand-to-hand weapons were mentioned and these bring an entirely new dynamic to combat. Unfortunately, there are a few bugs so the latest patch is essential and having XComutil is very useful as well. It's certainly worth firing up and checking out to decide for yourself which you prefer. Warren
