From what I recall of the surveys taken here on this board V1 and V2 are a lot more popular than 2.2.
You've got me pegged.

Thanks in large part to this thread, the M8's growing on me a little bit- I have no beef with it for what it is. For me, it's more a matter of principle. The LAV-75 was in the v1.0 U.S.V.G. that I bought as an 11-year-old so it's burned into my imagination and inextricably linked with T2K; I didn't associate the M8 with T2K until I saw it in the v2.2 BYB about seven years ago. I only acquired the v2.2 rules because that's what the GM for my first T2K game was using and they turned out easier for me to decipher so I use them for my own PbP now- the v1.0 is what I base my T2KU on.

I will stop polluting this thread with LAV-75 fanboy love now.
