You got to always turn around and fight, and outarm, outgun and use 
superior teamwork to get the pesky Cybrids.


: Are MW2 Mechs also clumsy and slow-moving (compared to the bad 
: guys' mechs) ?

Not really, since both sides uses the same varied mechs.  If you find 
your mech to slow, you can upgrade it or pick a faster one for that scenario.

However I find MW2's AI to be very poor compared to ES.  You can easily 
see your starmates and computer opponents bump against walls, whereas in 
ES, they easily run around obstacles.  


: Any comparisons would be appreciated.

Oh boy, do I have a list which maybe I should post later as a seperate
article.  I find that MW2 wins in many areas, while ES is actually more
fulfilling in another areas. 

The irony of everything is that ES is probably closer to the original MW 
1 in style, than MW2 because ES may have the same programmers as the 
original Mechwarrior was.  


: BTW, Can MW2 run on SVGA 640x400 or 640x480?

Yes.  All the way up to 1024x768.  But starting from 640x480, you need 
faster hardware, faster graphics cards and still take off graphics 
options for smoother animation.  

: Thanks in advance.
