In EW, XCOM is a organization that the seemingly all powerful council of nations have endowed with the responsibility of being the last hope for humanity, and yet gets a piss poor staff, terrible budget, has to rely on the slowest construction and manufacturing workers on the planet, and only has one fucking dropship to cover the entire world. The lack of resources and slow production speed makes much more sense thematically in X2 than EW. In X2, the aliens will get stronger and the avatar project will tick closer to completion regardless of how ready you are for it. A lot of the rising intensity in EW is slowed down based on your story progress, so you could delay the aliens getting stronger by just putting off certain research topics. The race against time feels so much more real in X2. The skill trees within an individual class can lead to drastically different characters within the same class, much more so in my opinion than EW. Soldier classes have much more variety, even with just the vanilla 5. To me everything just clicks better in X2.
