For example, I may plan for my soldier to run fast to the UFO wreck, so he can avoid the enemy shots. Then he crouches, changes his weapon to shotgun (suited for short-range combat) and carefully sneaks round the UFO to its entrance. Nevertheless, the game pauses during the soldier’s run, as I have set in the game options to stop whenever the enemy is spotted. Now I may react to the new situation and change my plan - to lie prone and start shooting at the alien with the rifle in my hands.

Similar system has been used in more games, but we have made it perfect in previous UFO sequels. We believe you are going to agree if you try it.

An X-Com clone that's not turn-based? Hrmmm... Sorry, not interested. Despite how pretty it might look and / or interesting it might sound.

"But we have made it perfect in previous UFO sequels."

bwahaha, the previous UFO games were pretty shitty, the second one being especially crap.

Up their own asses any?

It seems the UFO series is running in circles.

Why don't they take the next step in tacticular gaming evolution and switch over to turn-based?
