I used to hate getting into planes with newbies who couldnt fly the damn plane in the demo... althought i couldnt either :D

BF 1942 is a great game. Me and some friends have a kamikaze group. After dropping all of the planes bombs on a boat, two rear gunners will parachute onto it, steal the life boats and we pound the boats and kamikaze into them, if the boat sinks, it's worth dying to watch the crew stop in horror as they wonder where the lifeboats are. Sink or Swim. If it's swim the lifeboats and additional planes get them. lol. Moguls ahoy.

If you destroy something large, it's good fun.

I'll start playing Bf 1942 in a week or so.
The thing i liked most about the demo was the pure fun and great feel about flying a plane into a building :D
And shooting down a plane with a Mortar... ah i could name so many 'l33t' things that could happen :P

I like big servers, lots more to shoot and battlefield does come with some exceptionally huge maps. Plus spawn points are spread out around the maps, capturing flag basically captures new spawn points so you don't usually get hundreds of players spawning in the same place unless there is only one flag left, and that's when things get a little more hectic.

The only real trouble with big servers is that quite a few players will always seem intent on getting into an airplane as soon as possible, so you'll always see a group of gooners waiting for planes to get spawned in, and they're easy pickings for any enemy camper or pilot.

Surely the smaller games are more fun though? I mean 64 players on one map, there must be a lot of spawning, and dying happeneing before you really get into the game?

Go for Battlefiled. It does lag, and this coming from someone who has broadband and a respectably low ping, but it's not often you get onto a server which lags beyond playability, unless you keep going for the big 64 player servers like I do.

It's an extremely fun game, one of the most fun online games I've played actually, there's so much to do it never really becomes as tedious as games like Counter-Tripe and Unreal Torment. The vehicles are a joy to play around with, I love using the tanks to charge into enemy bases and blow as much people up as I can before I get destroyed, just as much as I love mining the runway of an enemy aircraft carrier and then sitting back and watch the fireworks disply as helpless enemies try to take off. Very fun and entertaining.

Try Starcraft- Hardly anyone uses it online, but the multiplayer on it ownz! The maps are great, and you can complete an online game within a few hours!
