Garfy ... In the new game you need those bodies and other stuff to make better stuff and for your research on new things ... So if you sell things you won't be doing new stuff sooner ...
The game is everything I remember and more. First off it's fucking brutal in difficulty. If your one who can't stand to lose even one soldier then get ready to load your save multiple times. Not to mention you can be right next to a alien yet still miss WTF!???? Aliens on the other hand will smoke your ass even if you are behind full cover another WTF!!!! moment. Haven't had a game I love so much make me so pissed in a long time. It's like the Demon/Dark souls of stragety rpg's. The game will get even more brutal once the aliens start utilizing AOE attacks. So be prepared to spread your squad out along the map to minimize those moments. Use elevation to your advantage as well, snipers especially take advantage of the bonus to attack from being on top of a building or bus etc. Dishonored and Xcom so far are GOTY contenders for sure at least in there respective genres.
I think I am getting pretty close to the end of the single player. Caduceus is definately right about the money being hard to come by, at least until later in the game. Then you have to wait on certain resources which is kind of frustrating as well.
Over all, it's been really fun though... have to catch up with some stuff I have been neglecting but should be available for multiplayer starting Sunday afternoon for a couple hours each day during the day mostly (thank you for the invites ATC, look forward to playing with you next week if you will still be available.

Sounds like a game I could really get into. If only I had more time to play games

I finished a normal playthrough the other night with forty-two battles won, just to give anyone an idea.
I'll be headed back for a Classic run through next. I started in Europe the first time. I'll have to pick another continent next.
