Rumor: XCOM being reworked into third-person tactical shooter

I was so sad when they cancelled Tiberium. This would never happen in this dimension but I would quite like it if they changed this game into a C&C FPS and not XCOM.

Actually this could be kinda cool if it was reworked that the squad mechanics worked like Brothers in Arms .

You throw in the nessesary RPG elements and rouge like system as well as keeping it TONED THE FUCK DOWN.

That's the biggest thing. I wouldn't mind the 60's if it was more a conspiracy sort of thing with small scouting parties trying to influence areas covertly.

Then you'd have to find the source which would require research and information gathering.

An XCOM FPS/TPS would be really nice if it kept the same metagame from UFO Defense.

I know it's a bit of a dead horse but LOADSAMONEY!

I'm still puzzled about why they called it XCOM because pretty much everything in the setting and gameplay is kinda generic, it just lacks that distinctive X-COM style.
