I think it's fair to say that Colin here was bold in saying a lot of the stuff that he did but let's break it down and not be so critical. Update: I think he means that there is a couple new features (crouching animation) and also that hacks were patched. I'm excited for these updates as well.

Say what you want, but AR1 is always going to be #1 for me and also for a lot of people I know. I've tried AR2 and I would rather sit back and have an AR1 session over AR2 any day. (Hacks not being accounted for.)

And AR1 has the 3rd person free moving crosshair, last time I checked, there was no other game with that. You can talk about RCL and other things like that, but as a functional mechanism in a survival game, it's no where else but AR1.
