Anyway, a quick summary :  The flaws :  Initiative is changed : where the fast guy got to empty a few clips into the sec guards before they could even start to draw their gun, now evryone gets their first action, then evryone the second, etc. I think it's a good thin, bot most die-hard street sammy players are upset because their masterblender is a bit less powerfull. Now you sometimes see an enemy mage cast something instead of just catching lead. Dicepool are changed. I'm not very happy with this. Now the dicepools refresh at the start of a turn, while they used to refresh at the start of your action. Another clever plot to even the score for those of a slower persuasion, but they cleverly broke a system thet was a bit flawed to start with : hand-to hand combat. Now a physad or street sammy with boosted reflexes that can pound you five times in a round looses all advantage of being able to do so since they don't get extra dice nomatter how many times they attack. Silly silly silly. Movement in combat : no matter how boosted your reflexes are, you only move quickness*5 meters/round (i think). Once again, silly, since in many of the novels (and the starting story in 2E) street sammies take care when they run or they smack into buildings or run straight through a crowd (and i mean through, in the most splatty way you can imagine). So yes, when you've got boosted reflexes and 5 actions you can run very, very, very fast. Better not miss your athletics roll. That's the flaws I can remember from the top of my head, easily corrected with a house rule or two. If you've got any questions, just lemme know.</blockquote>
