This is NOT XCom. Nothing at all like the original - I mean not at all.

You can't select specifically where on the globe you want to place your base, but only limited to a few choices. You can't kneel for extra accuracy. You can't order tons of soldiers and pick the cream of the crop. They got rid of the traditional player attributes and are now forcing a specialty on the player such as heavy weapons specialist. The Sectoids are purple and crawl on all fours, not Grey and walking on 2 legs as they should be. There is no inventory management like in the original. All the cool things that made XCom cool are not in this game. The "Ant Farm" base system is absolutely retarded in this new version. They have these stupid shield symbols all over the battle screen to indicate cover instead of leaving that to common sense and imagination of the player. There is absolute clutter all over the screen and not user friendly at all, and I mean at all. They've got these periodic zoom in shots that randomly disrupt your view of the battlefield all the time. It does not have full smooth 360 panorama rotating view, but only 4 set camera angles that you can rotate which is a let down. To the new comer that never played XCom it might might be a decent game for you, but for veterans of the original I think will felt let down severely. This is not XCom.
The game is disastrous. What a shame.
