Yeah!  The Apoc aliens were original, unlike those from UFO (although
being able to shoot little grey men was cool).  Chryssalids?  Seen the
'alien' films, anyone?  Of course, UFO was the atypical alien invasion
thing...which was what we all wanted!

Ok, so the UFO aliens weren't that original, but they were still better than
Apoc.  Think about how nasty a Cyberdisk could be on a night terror mission.
Shots coming out of the dark and killing your men and you couldn't find
where they were coming from!  I can only think of two good weapons in Apoc,
Megaspawn(a walking weapon) and Dimension Launchers(notice I didn't say
grenades).
Chrysalids were much nasty than the 'aliens'.  In Aliens,
the...well...aliens had to drag you off to an egg chambers to get you
impregnated, and when the egg hatched it was a tiny bugger.  Chrysalids can
perform a quick de-gutting, turn your man into an alien straight away, and
when you kill the infected bloke, a full-sized one came out!

Yes...I have to agree with you, UFO was what we all wanted.
