ping in any game will take a hit across the atlantic, east coast minimum ping is about 80ms, which although playable the odd bullet will lag.
is H&D2 any good, played the first one which was rather fun

I think H&D2 takes some beating. The graphics arn't quite up to the latest standards but still look good considering the game is nearly three years old now. You get a wider choice of weapons than I think in any other game ever. And ping times in multiplayer are generally quite low due to the fact that most H&D2 sales were in europe.
If you're thinking of getting it remember to get the Sabre Squadron expansion pack as well otherwise you won't be able to join that many servers.
I play under the name of "Saint George".
