I was really hoping the first big expansion to this game would let you play as the aliens, but it doesnt seem like this is the case.
To be honest for a 30 dollar expansion, im not all that impressed. This is whats listed for features:
It just seems like some tweaking and balancing out the game, but nothing really all that exciting.
I hope im wrong since I love this game, and have been waiting for something like this to dive back in.

To be honest for a 30 dollar expansion, im not all that impressed. This is whats listed for features:
-New Soldier Abilities: Construct the Genetics Lab to physically enhance your operatives’ abilities including augmentations to the chest, brain, eyes, skin, and legs or build the Cybernetics Lab to enable the construction of the new Mechanized Exoskeletal Cybersuit, or MEC. The new MEC Trooper class has specialized abilities and each suit can be upgraded with new weapons including the flamethrower and grenade launcher.
-New Weapons and Equipment: Give your operatives an extra tactical edge with new projects from your engineering team and the Foundry.
-New Enemy Threats: Adopt new tactics to counter the threats from two new alien types.
-New Strategic Resource: A valuable new alien resource, known as Meld, has been discovered. Secure it on the battlefield and use it carefully back at base to unlock new research and upgrades.
-New Multiplayer maps, units, and abilities: Create your custom squad from a wider array of options and dominate your opponent in intense, one-on-one, turn-based matches.
It just seems like some tweaking and balancing out the game, but nothing really all that exciting.
