Firaxis has revealed that there is going to be an XCOM expansion called Enemy Within. The expansion will add a new class, Mech Trooper, a new resource called Meld, which must be collected in a certain amount of time, and many other things.

The game will be sold either as a $30 expansion pack for the PC, or a $40 standalone game for PS3 and 360 owners.

Meld sounds like an idiotic solution to counter overwatch crawl.

the only way to counter crawl is to remove 3-alien faggotry and add autonomous alien movements in their turn. But still there's hope for modders to fix that.

Hopefully!

I wouldn't mind modding in multiple bases and/or multiple dropships too.

all the new features sound like xcom is becoming more like its own game, which is a good thing, i guess, but it also sounds like difficulty will drop considerably with all the new upgrade options and buffs to less popular abilities.

$30 expansion to fix their $50 game. Charming.

lol, I saw some of the gameplay from the new expansion, the mech upgrade basically makes your characters look like warhammer space marines, they even have power fists.
