1942 was fun. Lag was a killer though, since I was an engineer/medic sort, and those types never got decent weapons. I spent maybe half my time healing. I'm so glad they decided to add in iron sights and aiming mode in later BF games. Funny, but these days it feels weird playing an FPS without them.
Re: 2142, I really hate the name censorship. They won't let me select "unangbangkay" as a soldier name, because it has "bang" in it. That's kind of excessive, eh?
