Gamespot Preview - XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Dissecting the Multiplayer

Gamespot:

XCOM: Enemy Unknown lead designer Jake Solomon has been keeping a secret.

Game designers are good at secret-keeping, of course, but Solomon has had an ace up his sleeve for a while, and during our visit to Firaxis' Maryland studios last week, he finally got to play that ace. XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Firaxis' highly anticipated strategy game, will ship with online multiplayer. In fact, the game was planned from the beginning to have multiplayer--and we had a chance to play it ourselves during the extensive tour.

If u asked me if I though multi was a good idea, I would said no, but now I am excited. I mean some rts multi is the best there is. I know it's not rts but it could b great.

I'm a little disappointed that it's on a 6 squad based strategy game. I was hoping for more. Hopefully the PC version can be modded.
