X-Com: Enemy Unknown (new Firaxis version)

**Ultra Mantis** · 03-05-2013, 06:37 PM

So I decided to give Ironman Classic another shot and finally managed to beat it. The start of the game is ridiculous, I managed to scrape through with the doom tracker one space from the end and I had most of the end game gear before I managed to get a squad of guys who werent just cannon fodder. Then I ended up being so cautious not to get any of them killed that I literally had a 15 minute fight with a sectopod. Obviously as soon as I managed to kill it another one showed up. It wouldn't be XCOM otherwise. Once you get some Snipers built up and kitted out it's pretty much a cakewalk to the end.
