Use a smoke grenade at the base of the ramp the first turn and don't move out. Not only does this give you cover, it also allows the aliens to move during their turn so they aren't all at max TUs to mow you down with reaction fire. As for weapons; HE rounds and laser rifles are your best bet for anything up to Snakemen.

Laser rifles kill anything except mutons and terrorists in one hit unless you get unlucky.

I play on superhuman, so it's different.

No it's not

Superhuman... yikes :blink:

Anyway, if anyone else would follow your advice on using smoke grenades, don't leave your soldiers in the smoke for too long, you'll see their health decreasing soon enough... I always prefered those HE grenades (the red and white ones, however they were called) to anything smoky, but then again I have no experience with superhuman level

Superhuman is exactly the same as beginner, and all the other levels, it's a bug. Read the rest of the thread if you like, it's mentioned many times

It was fixed. Windows versions and using Xcomutil on the DOS version fixes it.

Yep.
I haven't had the chance to beat superhuman once it was fixed. (yet)
