Uh, no. XCOM doesn't need a world-wide organization to be XCOM. It just needs an organization you work from where you can organize tactics, your team, your weapons, etc. It also has aliens, especially ones that aren't your run of the mill generic grey men. Changed setting? So? Why should that define XCOM? XCOM only existed in the future? Hmmm, sounds like people can't handle depth to there games. Saying it removed all recognizable elements is complete bs. People are blind to see most of the elements are there.
So Half-Life and Crysis allowed you to control the situation of the war from a HUB, where you can choose who you want on your team, your weapon arsenal, your research, your location? Oh wait, your argument is quite flawed.

Agreed. May not be dark,gritty noir, but its still Noir, or rather Neo-Noir.
