Ooof... The first mission you use the flame thrower is not the best time to run into mind controllers. Half of my primary strike squad is now in sickbay and one pour soul didn't make it back at all.

What do I need to research for those? I'm stuck waiting for a mission to appear over BioMass.

I just finished a base mission where I uncovered a flame thrower in the weapons cache. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but I am expecting great things. This incredible find coming the mission after discovering the pure destructive ecstacy of the plasma shotgun, I just can't wait for close quarters combat now.

Thanks!! I played X-Com for years and years, though I found TFTD way too monotonous. Looks like ALTAR finally came out with a X-Com like game with the proper pacing. I can't wait to see how insane it gets towards the end.

n00b here. I've been playing this game for a few weeks now, and I thought I was doing pretty well so far. I have most of Europe and Asia, and I stormed through Area 51 without serious injury. I thought I was going to settle into the monotonous X-Com phase where you're killing everything in sight just waiting to plow through the research tree. Then I had my first encounter with Death Bellows last night and got wiped out in about five seconds. It seems like every time you think your squad is strong enough to take out everything in its path, the game introduces something new to kick you in the nuts!! I love it!!
