Well, I tried the XCOMUTIL patch a few months ago. I was all excited, yay yay multi player XCOM. However, as it turns out, its kind of a drag. You have to play hot seat style, and you have to reload the game every turn, because you have to turn on the patch to play the aliens turn, and turn it off to play the XCOM turn. Also, since you never technically finish the turn, you just reload after all the guys have moved, you never have grenades go off, cause the counter depends on turns ending. So, it's kind of a pain. -Jakob
