[So how far can we get in the game?]

Well now you can check out the Firaxis XCOM game, in the form of a demo, out now on Steam! It's actually quite great. I lost my sniper, Kojima *maker of my favorite game series EVER* due to a scumbag alien with a damn jet-pack.

[So how far can we get in the game?]

Just booted up a game a day ago, managed to get into it and got the farthest yet *my first terror mission haha* however when I got to the terror mission, it just kinda crashed....haven't really seen much besides a bunch of scouts and a surprising fighter fight. Question in title.

[Rival factions]

Not sure whether there's been any discussion on it, but I thought it'd be neat to at least have the option for rival "COMs" to try to fight for any alien "things" that appear? I don't think this was in the original X-COM so it might not be a well-received idea, but I thought it'd be neat to have rivals and whatnot trying to claim the throne of the ones who saved Earth.

Please don't flame
