Fact about Barett M107:
"Voice" of this weapon much better than most of the modern singers'.

Okay, what you need to do is to get more satellites early game. I lost my first game because I didn't build enough satellites. If you finding the combat too hard, stop running in so much and pace yourself a bit more (hang back and camp), then send an assault (or a disposable rookie) into the darkness to search for aliens.
Make sure are you are never outflanked, if one of your guys is outflanked moved them to a new position, even if it means forfeiting their attack.
Upgrade your weapons and armor as soon as possible.
Buy the squad limit upgrade (6 members) and the extra experience upgrade, they will help you gain better troops.
Over watch is nearly always better than trying to fire a low percentage shot (39% or lower).
A sniper with squad sight can win you the game (I've had games where only the sniper has gotten kills.
I have some more tips, but I didn't want to write too many. I hope they help somewhat.

Thanks.
I think part of the problem was I had playing for 5 hours~ straight and was loosing concentration.
I already did some of those things. I had been watching a lets play yesterday... and the guy wasn't great, so I was able to learn a lot from his mistakes. I'm glad the game isn't as difficult as he was making it though.
