    Ah, I took my merry squad of hyper ninja snipers in and nailed them stone dead. Its true it was tricky but with that nano-skin that lets you sneak up on enemies, you can take one down from cover before it has a chance to fire and then take a hit from the second before blasting it away too. Seriously, that nano skin and the In The Zone perk (continue firing so long as you kill) make snipers ridiculously OP).

    Worth another link I think :) ... my ninja sniper ladies. One sniper = 8 kills, a move into cover and a reload. All in one turn :)

    I enjoyed playing a level with 6 MECs, just burning or punching everything to death.

    Yeah, I have to say I enjoyed the MECs too but the flamer never really seemed to live up to the potential I thought it would have.
    Smashing things (mostly alien face things) and removing cover (so my snipers could do their funky thing) never got old though...

    Punching MECs are definitely nicer to have; but sometimes you're glad you have the flamer when you get say... 5 Chrysallids showing up in your face and you can one-shot the whole pack with it...
