Big differences with Enemy Unknown are the introduction of 2 part terror missions. These tend to drain your ammo. PLUS, I think you have to actually pick up stuff from the first part to keep it (X-com agents too lazy to salvage it?)
I believe that the 2nd part is empty of civilians.
Both parts count towards your scoring, methinks.

2nd opinion:
Civilians are everywhere in terror missions, even in the second part.
Mag Ion Armour doesn't permit flight on land, but your Sonic/PWT tanks could still fly. Take advantage of that.
Bring hand-to-hand weapons on terror missions. Have them in every backpack, and pull them out when facing Aliens in narrow space. Heavily armoured terror units don't stand a chance against these, and you can often clean out a small room of aliens with it.
Do be careful around the oil drums...
