X-COM Enemy Unknown Elite Soldier Pack is basically worthless:1. The (official as opposed to Amazon's) description of what you get (quoted below) is deliberately misleading to fool you into thinking that you are getting more than you are really getting, which I find at least unethical. Amazon's description is a bit more 'honest' though not entirely. Here's what the official description says (my comments in brackets, and you can find the official description on the publisher's site as well as on Steam):"Customize your squad with three new bonus items [OK, this part is kind of true].Instantly unlock a new recruit in your barracks inspired by the original X-COM: UFO Defense [MISLEADING - you are not getting any new recruits, what you are getting is a single additional haircut inspired by the original X-COM].Outfit your soldiers with specialized armor upgrades including the new Hyperion and Reaper soldier armor kits [MISLEADING - you are not getting any armor upgrades, there are no new research-able armor upgrades, there are only two additional armor SKINS - see #2 below for details].Customize your soldiers' appearances with a variety of colors and tints for all armor sets [This is the only thing that is true here].2. Modifiable armor skins they call 'upgrades' are for low-end armors only (your basic body armor, Carapace and Skeleton armors can be made to look less flimsy). The mid- to high-end armors are not modifiable (except for the color). You also get one "retro" hairdo a la X-COM UFO Defense and three helmet skins (these are just skins with no intrinsic properties), but I find the ability to hide the soldiers' faces inside those helmets useless as using helmets makes all soldiers look the same and they lose their unique faces, hair styles and skin colors.So if you buy this pack all you really get is the ability to apply something like 30 color tints to the existing armors. AND, to be thorough, most of the color tints are hideous neon-glow like. Do you want your assault troopers to look like Barby dolls or beer promo neon signs? The only colors that are actually usable and make your soldier armors look bad-ass are solid ones such as black, red, khaki, white, orange. So you are not even getting the 30 color tints they offer as you will never use 25 of them.I suppose it could be useful and cool to make all your assault troopers orange, heavies green, support (medics) white and snipers red (that's how I have them colored anyway, you may want other tints) but I am not sure the ability to color-code your soldier classes is worth the price tag, unless you simply want to support the developer... BUT considering how they misinform you in the product description to swindle the five bucks out of you, I don't think you should support them.

The description of the DLC makes it seem you are opening some new armor upgrades and a special recruit. You are not, this dlc is for customizing the armor you already have. That's about it.

Not worth 5 bucks. I searched about 30 minutes this "New recrut", before find out that 1 haircut. Waste of money. Awesome game, different story for first dlc.
