In terms of gameplay and customization, it's miles better than ACV. I'm especially impressed with the UNAC system. Weapon tuning has been fixed, and of course we get more parts/weapons. Some gripes I've had include massive pixelation of team emblems, and the lame Engrish on the SIGNS logo. As for online play, eh. I'd heard complaints here and there, along with expectations of it sucking, but I don't see much to complain about. There don't seem to be many Free Battles at the moment, but if World Mode dies down I'm sure you'll see more people there. Speaking of which, I was in a room with Exogen just the other day.
