Hello,

Firaxis is making a remake of x-com.

>From the looks of it the human base will be side ways, this makes me wonder:

Will human bases come under attack from aliens ?!?

I think this is a pretty important part of the x-com original game and it 
should be in any remake.

If it was missing then I would be a little bit disappointed ?! ;) :)

I sure hope they will somehow implement human base from coming under attack.

It would add a nice play ground for fighting to the game. A much different 
scene...

It was kinda funny the first time my base was under attack. The 
interception/recovery operation was still under way so most of my soldiers 
were away from the base or even parked inside the vehicle... and didn't 
participate in the fight which was weird...

Only a few rookies remained in the base... they lost their cool pretty 
quickly... the panicked and died... and the base was lost lol.

Also new rookie bases under attack was kinda cool. Little armor and little 
weapons available... against big plasma weapons oh yeah ! ;) =D

And multi levels/floors... yikes ! Explosive equipment yikes ! Damage to the 
base !?!?! Yikes ! ;) :)

Alien vessel landed in hangar/massive ammounts of aliens in hanger YIKES ! 
=D

Fuel on fire in hangar YIKES !

Slime trail through base... YIKES !

Mutations through infected soldieres, infected soldiers fighting me, YIKES !

Yup big feature of the original game ! ;)

I am probably to smart to play the original again... hopefully the remake 
will have much more intelligent ai too ! ;)

Hihihihi bring on the paranoya and fear ! ;) =D

Bye,
  Skybuck.
