This video actually held a lot of solid tips. I was scared it was going to be along the lines of "flanking is good!" and a bunch of other "no shit!" tips.
Highest priority in the beginning of the game is undoubtedly be the setting up of uplink satellites. If you don't, you basically will get abandoned by other countries over time because of high panic levels.
my squad balance (This is for enemy within) 2 snipers with snap shot and aim penalty reduced when I can they always cover my assaults and bring up the rear 1 heavy with support Overwatch normally in the middle or behind my assaults (depending on the mission if it is saving civilians I drop the Heavy for another assault soldier as they can travel faster and I seldom use explosives) 1 support full medic- 3 medikits, revive, smoke grenande, increased tile walk to support my assaults and heavies 1/2 assault with quick reflexes, double shot, gene mods- jump height, double heart, aim bonus for height 1 Mech good for back up scouting and the mines are a heaven send in missions like assault of the Xcom base.
There's also a game that's very like the first Enemy Unknown (or UFO Defense). Plays just like the classic XCOM games, and runs on modernized 2D graphics. Though, this isn't an "official" game of the XCOM franchise, and it's called Xenonauts. This game was planned to be released in 2012, but they sadly moved the release date to 2013.
allhailthelegs Me too. I was hoping it was the expansion edition: Enemy Within. You can have mech-soldiers and fight a human sympathizer team that's working with the aliens. I dont think it's in this version.
Also, I can mention UFO: Fight for Earth, an free to play multiplayer game that is in closed beta right now, and UFO: Exterrestrials 2. There's surprisingly quite a lot of XCOM and XCOM-like games coming out this and next year.
The original X-Com (which this game is a remake of) is turn based and very similar to this one. There is an fps version being made as well that was actually announced way before this version (to much fan hate for betraying the very essence of what X-Com is) that is still being made but it has been delayed multiple times and is as of now projected to be release early to mid next year... It is likely it will only be a downloadable title and complete shit. This is the real X-Com and a great game.
Does this tip apply also to XCOM android version? How about the panic? I'm desperate when enemies getting harder, while i'm not in capable to sustain the economy...yet.
I would say, closest to the original would be Xenonauts. It's a modern game, and visual re-imagination of the original with core mechanics from the original. Though, I'm afraid it isn't released yet There's a spin-off series with re-done combat mechanics. UFO: Aftermath (my favorite with simmilar setting as the original), UFO: Aftershock and UFO: Afterlight. Those are quite old, you can get them cheap on GOG.com working on modern systems. There's also another spin-off called UFO: Exterrestrials.
they are called crysallids I think something like that and yeah they are pretty powerful the best tactic is run if you know you cant kill them in 1 turn and if you can kill them in 1 turn then by all means go ahead and do so
what i had wasnt a turn over having carpacter armor and have one main squad and had money problems lets say the defeat at the hands off the chrysallid and zombies wasnt a turn over that was a god damn whipe
I couldn't even get a support until about 3 months in because everyone was becoming heavies, with a few sniper s and 1 assault. I only got her because of an abduction Mission reward
That's funny because all i get is support or assault i would kill for a sniper. Out of 25 soldiers i have 2 heavy, 1 sniper the rest is assault and support.
I no I got where it was going..but I dont care...Im having fun pissing you off....next thing you will say is you are not pissed off, and this is a waste of time or something along those lines, say some smart ass comment, and leave me to myself, or option B you will fight about it.

"Engineers lead to everything."
True to life...
my squad balance (This is for enemy within)

1 heavy with support Overwatch normally in the middle or behind my assaults (depending on the mission if it is saving civilians I drop the Heavy for another assault soldier as they can travel faster and I seldom use explosives)
1 support full medic- 3 medikits, revive, smoke grenande, increased tile walk to support my assaults and heavies
1/2 assault with quick reflexes, double shot, gene mods- jump height, double heart, aim bonus for height
1 Mech good for back up scouting and the mines are a heaven send in missions like assault of the Xcom base.

2 Snipers with Squad Sight and ArchAngel Armor with Plasma Snipers wrecks the aliens!
Trudat. So glad the game was free with gold this month. Never would have experienced it otherwise
allhailthelegs Me too. I was hoping it was the expansion edition: Enemy Within. You can have mech-soldiers and fight a human sympathizer team that's working with the aliens. I dont think it's in this version.
Yeah that would've been cool. Might look into XCOM 2 now though
Great video, the steps he's described can be used to strategize in various areas of our real lives, like a mission brief.
for those of u who got the CoD BO2 ad who else thinks avenged sevenfold will have 1 or more songs during zombies?!?
When he never stops saying critical
1:00 "People are gonna die" -NOPE !Not if my save and load and save and load has anything to say about it!!!
Also, I can mention UFO: Fight for Earth, an free to play multiplayer game that is in closed beta right now, and UFO: Exterrestrials 2. There's surprisingly quite a lot of XCOM and XCOM-like games coming out this and next year.
Some consider finding these tips themselves to be the source of fun... if you're not one of them you can always come to youtube for help :)

anybody know good lets play for this game?
lol, walking dead ad while i'm watching walking dead on my xbox
what i had wasnt a turn over having carpacter armor
and have one main squad and had money problems lets say the defeat at the hands off the chrysallid and zombies wasnt a turn over that was a god damn whipe
Why aren`t most of thease tips in the game or the tutorial? How should I know if I build facilities next to eachother then i will get bonuses?
I love this game.
now i know
and knowing's half the battle
G.I. JOE!
Does anyone know if there is different chances to get a heavy or assault because all I get us snipers or is it split 25%?
Gotta wait til 10 this morning to pick up my copy. Then it's ONNNNNN!!
Should I buy XCOM or Borderlands 2?
I couldn't even get a support until about 3 months in because everyone was becoming heavies, with a few sniper s and 1 assault.
I only got her because of an abduction Mission reward
great video, thanks a to for the tips!!!
But why do all my new recruits end up being snipers?
the sniper tactic wont work with enemy within because off a little thing called a seeker
You can easily counter that after you kill your first seeker by giving snipers respirator implants, and late game armors are immune to strangulation.
ChaosDraguss dint know that thanks for the info
First day playing xcom , seven countrous stopped fundings , veteran team was completely wiped out the last mission , basicly game over.
Wha makes you think it is? Because I see "man" in their username...
That's funny because all i get is support or assault i would kill for a sniper. Out of 25 soldiers i have 2 heavy, 1 sniper the rest is assault and support.
amazing games are always under the radar and dont sell well which usally means no sequal
Borderlands is Awesome! but id go for Xcom tbh
that's me
Chillax he just said nice....
Yup...which makes it easy.
Great...people are gonna start bragging about being the 6638th viewer....
Such a great game.
I CALL BS ON TIP NUMBER FOUR!
Berserkers! I can't stand Berserkers!
How many times did he say "Critical" lol
Hmm sectoids must have destroyed a satellite; this video --- and only this video ---- won't play for me.
Have you ever heard of sarcasm? Not everything you say on the internet is meant literally.
we're* as in we are....
is it me or i always loze to that spider things
Great video. Bonus: Close your eyes and this guy sounds like Obama.
I miss Obama...
I no I got where it was going..but I dont care...Im having fun pissing you off....next thing you will say is you are not pissed off, and this is a waste of time or something along those lines, say some smart ass comment, and leave me to myself, or option B you will fight about it.
there are 2 XCOM games this gen. the fps one in 2013 and this.
Both
Unfortunately it's my google account, fucking youtube has it linked.
Stop using volleyball metaphors, people hit volley balls, they don't throw them! = D
Nice tips. Too bad the video has not to do with what the guy is saying...
Oh god why!
Both.
I refused to use squad sight, feels like cheating
That's not cheating. Soldiers in a squad communicate with each other in order to kill the enemy. That's not cheating, that's strategy.
You kidding ? It was in the top 3 preorders of steam and is one of the best selling games atm.
What makes you think it's not a female?
These introductory tips arent useful.
no...and learn to spell
...
to get a sex change
and then buy Dishonored.
Probably, it's selling better than borderlands 2 and cs:go currently so yeah. heh
learn to spell first =_=
Booooh, these are pretty god damn "read the tooltips stupid" tips. I do not approve of this! Give me cheats!
Both.
