XCOM: Enemy Within: Best Mission Result Evar!



Recently I have stumbled upon one particular mission that is given to you by the Council.  Some said you need to make sacrifices in order to complete the mission.  Others said it was very hard but not impossible to save all of them but the chances were pretty slim.  Thankfully, I managed to finish the mission with flying colors.  Maybe lady luck was with my side that it appeared very late in the game whereas on my first try, it was given to me when I was still building the MEC and Genetic facilities.

I used my Assault to head the mission, one with mimetic skin and close combat specialist, thinking that I could run and gun my way out of there.  So I proceeded with my heavies covering the rear and my MEC and support following the Assault.  My Sniper got into a position where she could cover my front members but is covered by the heavies.

I killed off three of those zergs first before climbing up the ship with only my assault.  Rushed to the control room.  Next turn initiated the zergs coming out of the whale.  Assault could reach the switch and head back to full cover to conceal herself.  Everyone on overwatch and my assault soon reached my MEC and support.  All three rushed towards the evac area while my heavies and sniper gunned down anything that moved.  Almost had a misclick where it prompted if I want to end the mission and evac my only assault in the area or continue with the mission.  Then the cutscene of pure awesomeness.




Well there you have it.  A mission that I thought wasn't possible to finish in one piece.  I'll try to bring more analysis on the next mission so that I could help out others who are having difficulty with the game.  I haven't tried Impossible level yet so maybe I'll do that after I finish this round.  Til then, cheerio!
