Blaster Launchers Shooting tops of UFOs and entering from there was awesome

[Docfeelgood]

loved the high pitched squeel they made when they died.
Motion grenaids where awsom!

Kamakazi man. One cannon fodder would enter the control room with a primed live alien grenaid.
Loved it!!!!

That's not as good as it sounds, as a grenade going off in there usually blew the engine, and thus you got no elerium.

Actually, the game doesn't make any special sound when you don't get elerium, but grenades go BOOM!

I totally forgot about that my last game. Entering the bottom of very large ufo's could be dangerous. And makes your flying suits kind of pointless (other than the armor value )

I used to do up and down. I'd use the blaster to blow a hole in the upper floor and send guys in flight suits in there, while the tank and the rest of the team made entry through the bottom.

I remember the explosions were 2D only; you could be in a flight suit right above where a grenade or blaster went off and be completely safe. At least once I saw a big explosion take out the entire bottom floor of a building, but the upper two floors were still standing.

yup they are 2d. in the final mission I've had several grenades thrown at me. All exploded harmlessly below my guys.
