Hi!
I am aware that there is a Tutorial already, and I used it myself, but as a new player, I feel it would have been MUCH easier to adjust in a Tutorial Mission.
I think there should be a Tutorial Mission, and to ease into the storyline, it should take place in Mumbai, perhaps during the aftermath of the attack. The purpose would be to check the area for more Aliens, and to help the Citizens (keep them safe e.t.c.). As you enter the map, a tool tip or notification should appear, welcoming the player to the game, and pointing out certain things in the map (Alien ship, Citizens), the objective of these tactical missions and then the How to play stuff (how to move your characters, using weapons, using other items in your inventory, looking around (right click) e.t.c. - the basics which every new player needs to know to get somewhere!
In this mission, it would also be great to explain the HUD in some more detail. For example, I had no idea how TUs worked until a few missions into the game.
Thanks for reading this
