I loved V1.0 back in the day. I loved the tone and feel that it created, and i really liked the vehicle damage rules. I dont know if i ever got the single shot or burst fire rules correct though.

I never played V2.0. V2.2 was already out before i came across it and i have never opened it.

V2.2 is excellent. It has 98% of the feel of V1.0, the single shot and burst rules are much better (though i still hate the burst rules in V2.2). The vehicle rules are simplified, but are maybe 95% as good as V1.0. So all up V2.2 keeps all the good bits, and improves some of the bad ones of V1.0, and i think V2.2 is the best set of T2K rules. I have not seen/played 2013 (sorry, i cant remember its actual name!).

I play V2.2 most of the time, with house rules that fix the parts i think are broken.

Another set of rules i really like, is the James Bond rules set. I like the way a single roll to perform any task, results in a miss, or any of 4 different kinds of success. Just a great system in terms of difficulty levels and a single roll resulting in any of 5 results. The chase/pursuit rules are also the best i have seen. I really like the James Bond rules, at the same time i dont think they transfer that well to T2K. Hmmm, what i mean is the rules are great, but the weapons are slighted to favour pistols, so the whole weapon system would need to be stat-ed out which would be too much work.

I dont mind my house rules for V2.2 or tinkering with them. But oddly, i dont have any house rules for James Bond, i like the rules just the way they are.
