^ That's why a strong hacker is mandatory.
Hmmm...I wonder if my Dual core / Radeon HD 4870 can handle this.
Playing the game for 5 hours or so, I'm profoundly disappointed. I can't even complete a stupid supply drop that I get interrupted by 4 different "critical" mission items, it's infuriating. When I play video games, the last thing I want to do is be overwhelmed with deliverables and having to put out constant fires, I know the first game had some of that too but the pacing of it was perfect. The base building is meh, there's too much stuff that seems to unlock also adding to the mayhem.
Overall, Enemy Within was way better, better combat that had just the right amount of mini-games vs just straight shooting and maneuvering fun, and the overmap stuff had the perfect pacing.

Rangers are love also the game length is the same as the old one. I love the fact you can spend intel on the second final mission to make it vastly easier.
Total Biscuit is terrible in the game to have his squad wiped out so much on veteran so much that he have to play for 70 hours before winning the game.
Still debating whether its worth having a dedicated medic and a hacker

Need both in my group at commander difficulty because both of their "ultimate" skills are day savers. Medics are for curing stunned/unconcious members and healing from a far. Hackes are invaluable thanks to hacking bonuses, especially hacking alarm towers have juicy benefits like dissorianting whole aliens on map for 2 rounds or random mind control.
Also skullmining
Melee is really pointless for a shotgun user really, don't know what they were thinking. For anything an archon blade can do shotgun will do better and from a far.
On guerrilla missions with a hack target, the hack bonuses for it can be amazing. I once got a 2x scanning speed increase for a month. Get a hacker with skulljack + skullmining ASAP, and protect them.
Not to mention Alien Facility intel. If you get one of those early and use it when the only alien facilities are like 3-4 regions away, you can immediately hit one of them, allowing you to build contacts towards the other and hit that as well. This can fuck the momentum of the Avatar Project pretty badly...On guerrilla missions with a hack target, the hack bonuses for it can be amazing. I once got a 2x scanning speed increase for a month.
