I wouldn't say it's worse, TLA clones in general are different. Some people like it, some don't. Compared to 2238, TLAmk2 has greater combat timer (30-40 seconds), you cannot run during a combat, crafting is imho much more complicated, farming is fun, because there is a lot of various encounter types, also you meet Fallout 2 and even some new special encounters. There is no TC, almost all towns are protected (which doesn't mean you cannot kill there, you just need a huge army of players to kill all NPCs). There are only 4 drugs on TLAmk2 (buffout, jet, psycho and mentats) and builds have mostly about 600 hp. In contrast to requiem, there is no terminator perk, only sniper perk which gives you some chance to hit when aiming. Level cap is 36. Also alting is quite problematic, because you always need to reach level 4 to leave a traning area.
These are my observations about FOnline TLAmk2. Just try it, maybe it's the FOnline game you've been always looking for
