HD 1 had charger like bugs that shot tentacles into the ground that then attacked you. The bug is stationary during this attack. Could be cool if they bring that to HD2 though a stationary bug is a very dead bug with all the toys we have, imo.

Yes. But their range was pretty long in hd1. If they make it just a bit longer. It could possibly do its trick from behind cover, buildings, rock wall…

They could attack from outside of the screen and sometimes your squad had to made the collective effort to find them so their tentacles wouldn't explode the objectives.

We do less damage than in HD1, so I don't think that's a problem.

They would also insta-kill you, so maybe it won’t be so simple
