One of my favoritest things ever was to load up a squadsight sniper as high as they could get and just let them sit there on overwatch. Probe forward with the other squaddies and watch heads pop from across the map.

So very satisfying :).

That said, the tactic backfired on me spectacularly in the final mission, in the second-to-last room, where a hovering sniper can 'see' into the next room. Of course, if you can see the Ethereal, the Ethereal can see you.

Guess who failed their Will save? Guess who was above and behind the rest of the squad? Guess who had In The Zone?!

Doh.
