I still hate that you can't manually target poo poo in new xcom.

I too miss the firing lines of full auto laser-rifle fire and rockets taking out farmhouses.

Edit: Firaxis claims that while developing the new XCOM they accurately remade the old game in the new engine and then started stripping things away that the modern console gamer can't understand. Kinda wonder why they don't just release that dev build.

If you select the fire rocket ability on a heavy while he's out in the open he'll rotate to face the direction your cursor is at.

Reading an interview with Jake Solomon shows that statement was a bit of an overstatement.

What they did was create two prototypes based heavily on the original game, but a feature-for-feature remake, and they added even more complexity to it.
On the third version they started simplifying things.
