2.4 vs 2.3.1 (Newbies/2.2/2.3 holdouts must read!!!)

<< < (3/5) > >>

Kobura:
I have another 3D modeller graduate friend I'm going to recommend to the project to expose her ability. Something to put on the resume' :]

Sarin:
Bit back on topic. Do 2.4 (current dev version) present any significant gameplay difference from 2.3, like new items, research, aliens etc.? I noticed a couple new maps, I hope it's not all...

Kobura:
The weapons are different. Straight up for instance, the Assault Rifle offers an 18-TU Full-Auto, and the Snap Shot is 8TU (I seem to remember it being 9, but that might've been the em rifle too)

There are different things. UGVs are NOT implemented (correct me if I'm wrong!!!) but some of their parts are available to buy and I'd assume it's a dead feature right now so don't waste money on it.

I haven't even researched lasers yet so I'm not the best to ask. I dislike warping time too hard so the game stretches out long for me.

*EDIT* it's also worth noting that, not sure about it depending on difficulty, but soldiers seem to start SIGNIFICANTLY more capable. Like all my available options are "Competent" (ranging in the 30s) and some are "Proficient" (low 40s) in things. They still have average (20s) and a couple mediocre (10s) but by and large soldiers are actually able to hit shit. Also they improve at a noticeable but still not terribly speedy rate, generally just much better as far as being able to hit barns with scoped match/military-grade rifles. An immensely positive change from 2.3.1 and 2.4

Sarin:
I did notice that in 2.4, soldier starting stats are considerably improved. It is possible now to select only soldiers with 40+ mind, 30+ accuracy and speed. But I wanna know if there is something truly new, since I got in quite annoying part of game now, and don't wanna continue unless there will be something new.

Lisander:
Well, I noticed the game is much more easier than 2.3.1. Ten missions after the start of the campaing, i have the same squad of soldiers. No one was KIA. They look ealthier now, and can endure a couple of plasma pistol shots before falling, even unarmored or with the combat armour.
