Yeah, 2.3.1. Is the 2.4 dev much different, and how unstable? Moreover, how close for it becoming the latest stable version? I have a fairly slow connection and downloading 800mb would take its toll (also, on the download page there are three possible downloads but i'm unsure which one should i get if i already have it installed..are the binaries or the radiant installer enough or i have to get the whole package?)

might be, but that's what aliens do when my guys walk into ther LoS and they have TP :\ more than once i've seen aliens calmly walk in front of my team and fill one of them with plasma before any starts doing anything. But alright, if it's gonna be modified i'll wait

Hi all. I just started playing a couple of days ago thanks to desura, but i'm trying to deal with a frustrating issue about reaction fire:
whenever i have the feeling there are aliens close, maybe behind a wall or something, i tend to place my guys aiming towards the spot where i think the enemy will appear, in the hopes they'll frag it as soon as it pops into view. most of the time, though, aliens can jump in front of 4 guys and easily fill one of my soldiers with plasma or whatever weapon they use before any of them even thinks about shooting it.
Am i doing something wrong? It's really annoying having to restart a mission countless times because some damn grey can instakill my guys while they sit and watch
