Your review of how Xcom2 should have been a mission disk instead of a new game sounds valid, but it remonds me of earlier talk about Doom to Doom2. I would think of it as a sequel which adds some stuff. Kind of like Ultima 7 and Ultima 7.5. I remember that I really like U7 and U7.5. Along came U8 that really sucked. Xcom 3 is supposed to be an engine overhaul and may be real cool. I, in the meantime, will appreciate Xcom2 because it does add the new underwater stuff and different weapons much as I like/liked playing Doom2. I also noticed even in the Demo that There are more levels in the basic terrain. I saw kind of a cavern thing, and there were several higher levels that stairs accessed. I sent one guy up and had him fall off right behind an alien and kill it. I managed to beat the demo in one try, even though the german descriptions made it hard. Perhaps I am just easy to please. Dave How'd you get a beta anyway? -- dstephen@s-cwis.unomaha.edu
