Makes a lot of sense.  As an aside, I just couldn't believe how many
heavy plasma hits a sectopod can absorb.  I nailed that sucker at least
8 times with no apparent effect.  Had to resort to a blaster bomb to
squash that bug.

On another tangent, I think the early game is a bit more fun - my
tactics here involve lots of grenades, large rockets, auto-cannon loaded
w/he ammo and demo charges. BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!  Civilians?  We don't need
no stinking civilians!
