I finished my first ironman normal last week. Game gets pretty really easy once you learn a few of the basic tricks so I'm looking forward to start getting my commander game. I finished the run with 4 dead and 3 failed missions with two of the deaths coming on the final mission
The game has some seriously awesome good and bad fight moments. Game is way more fun than it has any right to be even with all the graphic, lag, and load issues.
I may have missed something with intel/relays because I ran in to a pretty ****ty spot in my game. Game was basically over, all research complete, engineers all sitting around with nothing to do, and I'm just smashing every mission, all I need to do was come up with 60 intel to make may last contact so I went home base to sit on it until I had enough. Got a rescue a scientist mission and Im pumped to wrap the game up with my 120 reward.
5th turn I spot a sectopod and light it up falling just short of the kill but I have Q few guys on overwatch so I'm feeling good. Sectopod charges, overwatch miss, overwatch miss, overwatch hit, but he's now so close that when he dies his explosion takes out the truck if the scientist in it :/. Mission failed, lost contact in Africa, and now I need 150 Intel with now way to get except sitting at base earning 8 every 15 seconds or so dreading any mission pop up because they'll be a huge waste of time
I still have no clue why I couldn't just connect to Brazil from Mexico instead of having to go through Europe and Africa.
Favorite moment of the game was when I toying around with a melee ranger with bladestorm. He goes in for a kill and manages to pull a pack a mile away which is three snakes. First one wraps him up and pulls him in so now I just assume he's ****ed since he's way out of position. Bladestorm triggers on the wrap up and just grazes the snake, mortally wounding him but not dropping my guy. Next two snakes are forced to run past and the ranger one shots them both with bladestorm.
