"Utilizing the compression technology the Aliens use to stabilize their high-density alloys, we've managed to create a specialized ammunition for anti-materiel purposes: 1 gallon of seawater compressed into a .50 caliber shell, bursting on impact. 1 gallon of water delivered this way is more effective than 100 gallons dumped. With additional research, we will soon have a weapon suitable for utilizing such projectiles."

Given the huge sweeping rewrites this game does over the first game I wouldn't be surprised if Elerium is entirely different.

I still prefer my original Sectoids to the new ones though.

I suppose.

Leading missions through the 'Gate and researching alium tech in that universe would be pretty cool, though. :P

The major expansion looks like it will be a standalone, Xcom Enemy Within. It's the thing I saw on Jake's laptop earlier this year it appears. It looks like it will drop at Christmas or maybe even a little sooner.

WHOCOM. A universe that has XCOM instead of UNIT. This way you have a valid tactical excuse to use Council funds to make gold-plated bullets.

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule
