I started to struggle a few missions after the Mutons showed up. Specifically when I ended with 8 of them, and 1 of the big red dudes, with only exploding cars for cover. D;

This is where you should be moving in 1st steps only, then ending your moves with Overwatch. This provides you "out-of-move" attempts on target, followed by 4-6 shots. If you're hitting them with anything other than lasers/plamsa learn2research faster. Always target the Bersekers first.

That said 8 is a very unlikely spawn <87

I had a few lasers, but one of my main problems with my first game was monies, so I couldn't get them for all my team. D:

Got much better money flow this time though, and my squad is doing much better too.

What were you spending your money on, or was it just a lack of satellites?

Side note on unlucky spawns. I had a Council mission last night where I was lucked upon by 9 Mutons and a Beserker

God bless Titan Armour and tiny maps!

You're doing it wrong.

Also, Bob, what abilities are you using on your squad members and what is your squad load out?

Something is wrong here, and the textbook I have doesn't help.

No idea.

The fact that you're coding something that doesn't need to be coded to be solved isn't the problem then?

[TheDR]

Sure it does.

I had something similar happen, during an abduction mission I accidentally walked into a group of 3 Mutons, who then procceded to alert every other fucking muton on the map. Thank god that Missiles destroy cover, my sniper had a field day

No you wouldn't. We have no air raid sirens anymore.

We will get a text now if there is problem.

Ha, bomb text.

That's not funny, but it is at the same time.

Yeah.

I think I remember you saying about that when it happened, perhaps you posted it in this very thread.

I honestly don't have much dislike for Romney, but I do have rather more time for Obama, his head seems to be screwed on. Plus, he's fighting for net neutrality, which is about the only thing I give two monkeys about as far as US politics go these days.
