2.5 sucks completely
H-Hour:
"Enemy moves, using up Enemy does anything that costs (x) TU."
And yes, when the aliens are using pistols they will RF more frequently. (And when soldiers use low-TU firemodes they will RF more frequently.)
Triaxx2:
Sorry. In short, until they start using rifles, stick with pistols.

Or learn to move in cover, establish contact safely, fire from cover and use indirect fire. It doesn't have to be a western shootout. This old gem for the original X-Com is still a must-read for UFO: Alien Invasion.
Sarin:
Best weapons for early close range engagements are SMG and riot shotgun. But after aliens deploy first armor, they become ineffective.
Triaxx2:
I always move from cover to cover, and fire under the best cover available, but it doesn't really help, particularly when the aliens move to shoot me and no one can fire because they've used one less TU than necessary to trigger RF, which they almost always do. Pistols are the order of the day early on.
