So I guess this is when I figure out if I want to get BF1942 or not? Anyone played it yet? Any good? Eh? Eh? I bet it's going to suck.

BF1942 is fun. For a little while. Singleplayer is shit. and you need a heck of a computer with broadband to fully enjoy the multiplayer, even then, too much spawn point campers, team killers, etc. It's fun over LAN tho.

Fuck, I gave my copy of BF1942 away too.

This mod is really fun. Very well done. Last night I was sniping with a hunting rifle, and I killed 2 people. I heard a noise, and I turned around just in time to see this beat up old car run me over. It was awesome.

As for BF1942, it is not worth getting unless you have a good connection. I'm at school right now, and we have the second fastest connection at a private college in the US, but at home I have DSL, and I get lots of lag.

Guess it's time to clear some space.

I enjoyed it for the brief cluster of minutes I played it. It has a good idea, and well done models and such. I hope to play it at LAN soon.

BF1942 was terrible, although this mod looks fun.

BF1942 was in effect a vehicle sim that happened to have guns tossed in.
