wow, still arguing about the XCOM soldiers??
I dont care if you are FOR or AGAINST the XCOM, You can't tell me its not going to be awesome seeing them "paradrop" in, (they did an awesome job with the visuals on that! which I think we can all agree) though its more like
drop in with anti-gravity(?) thrusters, I just know its going to be a sweeeet addition to the game, and I could only hope they add 1 or 2 more "very" late game units that are comparable to the XCOM and GDR, but if not, hey at least they're adding the XCOM!
I've always liked it when Modern Art (TV, Movies, Games) dont act like their in a closed vacuum space, where they only exist.........I love it when they "tip the hat" to others in the space.....(example, when Workshop first came live with Skyrim, and Valve "tipped the hat" to the awesome success of Skyrim, knowing it would be one of the biggest hits in the Workshop, and modded in the Space Core)..........(why would a space core be in Skyrim?? LoL, still cool to have it!) I realize that may be an apples to oranges argument for the "naysayers", but its all in the same realm of my point. Its nice to see that in the "real" world, Skyrim exists with Portal 2, and Civ V exists with XCOM, and they all exist together...in the real world.... why not bring a little of that to the "game" worlds as well..........and don't even get me started on Team Fortress 2 (all the items from "other" games you can get in that game.....
Trust me, its not a bad thing at all, and its definitely nothing to worry about, especially when you can write an simple XML to delete the unit from the game (if it bothers you to that extent)
