I've noticed that's been a universal criticism, that all the awesomeness of the game quickly wears out when you're running yet another mission with the "beat the level in less than 12 turns" artificial difficulty. The whole concealment mechanism becomes redundant when you've gotta rush the objective without any guarantee that there's not a Sectopod around the corner to pounce on your entire squad.
