Well, I was actually fairly impressed with the play in the 1.1 Mercs patch. I had shelved it for a year and a half "waiting" for something that would make it *HALF* the game that MW2 and GBL was (they missed something and made it really *suck* initially). I'm *still* waiting for something that will make HG something that I want to play. And I-76 is still not viable product for me (yea, I even plunked down the change for the ARSENAL "upgrade")...still have about 5 issues with the damn game...nice game, but DAMN, open your eyes Activision. Similar problems with the Mech2 titanium pack (mostly involving multiple joystick/driving wheels on one computer)...
