Ok, I have to say: A MEC soldier doing a melee kill against a Sectopod is one of the most glorious things I've seen in a video game.
Those cheap, annoying, bastard machines. They sucked in the original game, but in Enemy Unknown, they took it up to eleven. Fire twice, automatic Overwatch, damage hardening...
Then my mighty MEC trooper comes up and just SMASHES the thing into the ground. 27 damage. Instant death. So, so awesome.
EDIT: Just had another fun punching experience. My favorite MEC trooper (who is from Japan and called Aigis "Orpheus" Arisato) just punched an Ethereal. So hard that it flew threw a wall. I didn't even know that could happen, though I shouldn't be surprised. After all, if anyone can punch an enemy so hard that it flies through the wall of a starship, it's Aigis.
