X-COM

Just wondering what loadout everyone prefers for there squad? I mainly use the advance aliens lasers, a plasma shotgun and a grenade launcher. I guess that it depends what mission you doing but what do the rest of you generally use?

that would be cool - especially if you could quick select a grenade.

I'm having the same problem - I have the foldable machine gun thing and when I try and give it to one of my squad it won't stay!? I read somewhere that you have to have heavy armour - does anyone know if that's true?

excellent - I'm assuming thats after that hard russian misson (I'm stuck on that at the moment!) Do they give you loads of cool stuff?

How did you get aliens on your team? Does that happen later on in the game?

I agree to some extent - I generally only cheat once I've completed a game first. I can see what you mean about finding the cheats out yourself back in the day. You definitely earned the right to use them after a mission like HEX!

"7. Pathfinding is as bad as in Baldur's Gate" haha - too true!

Just like the X-com games of old I think a bit of cheating will eventually come into play in this game. Although alot of you will frown, it can make a good game last longer when replayed again and again. The problem is that I can't seem to find any cheats for this game as it's so new. So if anyone comes accross any please post away!

Yeah, I'm having the same problems: I have a great squad who are Heroic or excellent in every skill and I have the them all suited up in sun armour and shooting with alien laser rifles and the researched plasma rifles. I can't do the Russian base thing either because all the aliens have rocket launchers. Help would be most appreciated!
