yeah it's better now.
They fixed the connection issues so getting games takes seconds as oppose to hours.
They also implemented ranks, 1-50 similar to the H2 ranking system. (with the exception that you can now match early any rank due to population drop).
Use to be +-9 levels, now you can match a 50 at rank 1. It's fun though.
Add me if you want to play H1, H2. Lntec (appears as lntec)
