There's been a statement by someone who got the 360 version early that IF you do the tutorial, it will only let you build in North America or Europe, the other three choices are unavailable.

I was kind of planning on doing the tutorial, at least once, as I hear it's different than the one in the demo... but I don't want to be stuck with those choices. :(

I guess I'll probably start two games at once, one with tutorial and one without.

I'm kind of loving on the assault troopers, so thinking 3 assault, 1 sniper / 1 heavy / 1 support. But no plan survives first contact etc.

Actually Matt did 6 videos, and those are still up, and the seventh video with the major spoilers got taken down.

What I've read on the forums indicates that it does NOT give a discount on satellites; that doesn't make much sense to me (why air & SPACE if not helping with satellites?) but I guess that's the way it is.

I know that was one of my favorite quotes of the series: "I never even got to give him his mustache... what a waste." ROFL!

I'm thinking maybe South America or Europe for my first playthrough; not sure which would help more.

Two and a half days without an update! How will I know how much time is left??!?

:-P

I Absolutely loved them, Matt Lees is awesome. It's not about the gameplay, it's the narration and the attachment to the characters. :)
