I have had a good year or so with Battlefield 1942 since its release, and looking back, I can't quite understand why every true Pc gamer doesn't have a copy. It is truly one of the best multiplayer games of all time. Ok, so you don't like WW2 well during the past year I have been exposed to several great mods for this game, including Desert Combat, which updates your combat experience to the Persian Gulf conflict. The graphics in battlefield where never really anything to write home about, but the ability to take control of a tank, airplane, jeep, or even aircraft carrier defiantly is! Operation flashpoint gave us vehicle control in a FPS but, battle field gives it to us in a multiplayer game. There is almost no way you can't hop on a 50 man server with this game and not have fun!
If you don't buy it for the World War 2 aspect that people seem to be getting tired of, buy it for the different game mods that the community has to offer.
