> Key differences: > > a) No random soldeiers, apparently pre-made like JA2 Interesting. I downloaded the movie and lots of soldiers die very quickly. If they aren't random, there better be lots and lots and lots of them. > b) No random mission generation Hmm. This could be quite limiting if your always seeing golf course #1 and cityscape #1. I guess if there are hundreds and they randomly pick between those hundreds, it is pseudo-random. It will also be interesting to see how tough each mission is. Will we have those terror missions from Xcom2 that were a royal pain - every time I got that Ship terror mission, I cringed as looking in every closet for every last alien became tedious. Still, I will probably buy it on release. I still play X-COM under DOSBOX.
