Not sure if this has been mentioned before but what about wounded aliens grabbing a civilian and taking them hostage to use as a human shield? Might add an interesting mechanic to the game whereby you have to try to flank the enemy to not harm the civilian or use non-lethal methods. Obviously it would get really annoying if every alien did it so maybe only higher ranking ones could do it and again, only when they're wounded, or something like that.

I'm not sure if anybody else has talked about it or not but I always thought it would be pretty cool in the original X-Coms if there was some way to brainwash or convince a captured alien to be on your side.

Another carryover from the old forum. There were some more interesting approaches than "just hold a psi-blocker in your hands". (or tin foil hats) So does that mean the humans will get indirect fire weapons after all? If the aliens are allowed to attack without LOS, there is no other way to even get close to them when they are in a room or behind tall cover. Well, not without leveling every structure on the map. Oh, I'm not talking about a an off-map battery of 155mm artillery but if aliens are able to disable or even control the soldiers through walls and without LOS, soldiers should be able to do something on a similiar scale, such as short-range teleporting stun or frag grenades through walls. Either that or play with a ground team of only vehicles. Smaller ones than "real" tanks so they can get to the aliens. Basically like the Apocalypse androids that portugus mentions below.
