Mechwarrior expansions usually have some caveat to them, Ghost Bear's Legacy is what happens when you grind up maggots into a CD, Pirates Moon is what happens when you get a masochist to make your game and Black Knight is just mediocre, but Mech2 Mercs is one of the two exceptions to Mechwarrior expansions being a downgrade.
