Great vid Pinback! 
I was watching it very closely and I am happy to say it ticks all the boxes. That kill cam will be great and defending that base will be interesting as you could build it with hostile incursions in mind, have built in kill zones. Looking at the vid, I remember when you took one of these "no chance" shots in the original, when it came off and you got that reassuring yelp, grunt or (insert mad death sound here) from the aliens, it felt great 8-)When this comes out you can keep Mass Effect!

Hope there a lot of destroyable bits in the level always remember my first terror town attack and firing at an alien in the petrol station.Hit one of the pumps and the whole station goes bang alone with the alien and half my squad. â€ÂRELOADâ€Â

Oh yes "secondaries" could be lethal, especially so with Blaster Launchers in use! I take no responsibility if watching the vid below makes you want to fire it up again

Had that happen a few times in a confined space. Always found them robot launchers to be very useful for scouting out areas IIRC they could take a bit damage before exploding.

Dark OneThanks for posting and finding this. I still have very fond memories of the original XCOM and really look forward to seeing the new release!
