VERY.  A lot of the changes remind me of SR3.  With technomancers.  Combat looks grittier too at first glance.

From what little i've seen they really tried to bring the reigns in on magic.

That, and they brought back cyberdecks, guns are much deadlier, armor is much better, and the specializations and skillsets really got hammered out into specialist roles.  From what I'm reading no more trolls with assault cannons casting armor and self heals on themselves with mystic adept powers like something out of WAR.  Also, new AAA Corp.

most of it i like, the rest of it I'll house rule out. Like movement being 2x agility walking 4x for running. that would mean that a man with 3 aglity could walk a mile in 13.4 minutes and a man with 6 would walk it in 6.7 minutes. I haven't ran a mile in under 7 minutes since highschool. no one needs to be walking that fast :p

That's actually a typo.  Same with troll costs.  Troll costs are not 50% on gear.

oh is it? do you know where the Erata on that is? Edit: I looked over the movement rules again and don't think its a typo. The reference it several time in the examples that they give. I kinda understand what they are going for, but there has to be a way of doing it without having one adult human walk a 6 minute mile and the other takes 2 hours to do it.
