Alright dammit - you guys have broken me. Where is the cheapest place to buy? (I'm weak AND lazy. )
Hearing all the hype about how great the original was and how awesome this one is going to be, I was tempted to get it until I played the demo. Didn't you control larger squads in the original XCOM? In the demo you only have 4 people, and every game play video I've seen it's 4 people or 4 people + 1 robot. Is that it or do you get larger squads later in the game? I know there is more to the game than the combat, but there wasn't any of that in the demo and they haven't shown any of that in the videos (at least the ones I've seen, and I haven't read these reviews yet).
Apparently the max is 6 soldiers on a misson. That and the lack of randomized maps are my biggest concerns. Firaxis says they believe that the majority of gamers never used more than six main soldiers in the original (from the beginning you could pack 14 troops in the Skyranger or 10 with a tank) and used the rest as fodder. That may be true but I agonized over each and every soldier. Even when the Avenger allowed me to field 22.

If GMG offered refund for Steam games I would have picked it up.
IT'S NOT FAIR!
