Delta: XCOM's harsh and unforgiving. Lose a soldier and they're gone forever. And seeing as how you can level your guys up in the remake (not too sure about the original, but I don't think you could), that makes it all the more painful to lose someone who's been there since the beginning.

Ralok: The 40k universe has been going downhill. Personally, I blame a severe case of Matt Ward's rewrites. Honestly, you think you've finally learnt everything, Ward comes in, rewrites the Necrons, Ultramarines and Grey Knights, then GW continues with everything else. As for XCOM, the secret is to run from the first Sectopod you see and pray you don't run into another.
