    Oh, pah!  The only game of this nature that I've seen do this is MW1.
Sound odd that MW2 doesn't have it.  I mean, it *IS* nice that we have the
atmosphere and mass of the planet affecting the behavior of our mechs...  But
I'd trade that for having the enemy fall when he is supposed to so I don't
have to worry about that stationary weapons platform pummeling me from behind
while I take care of his buddy.  It dramatically changes the strategy of the
game.

    People have pointed this out to me.  Admited, the LL I was firing was
mounted on the left arm.  However, why do the graphics show the shot hitting
him save all but the little explosion?  Dead center chest shots, no explosion.
