I used to play mech warrior 3 alot. It was pretty cool to play w/ other people, but playing the computer sucked. Tribes 2 rocks - when it's working that is. Very fun to play but just about as buggy as possible. One of my engineers was beta testing it for them and he was telling me about how bad an experience it was. They didn't listen to any feedback from the testers, and before the beta was even done, they pulled the plug on the beta program. They don't tell the testers anything, then one day they get an email saying the program went gold, then the next thing they know it is in the stores. It was released as a retail beta. Very shady on Sierras part.
