So I'd had my eye on this for quite some time and finally bought it recently; have been playing it more often this past week. This game kicks ass. It's like if you took the infantry combat in BF1942 and injected it with heroin and upped the realism. So far I've only played one map -- DOD_Flash on a 24/7 server, it's basically just a winding street with a capture point in the middle and two off to the sides, and some buildings you can go through -- and only one class (Assault, with Thompson/MP40), and I'm loving every second. It feels a lot like you'd expect WWII to feel especially when your team is slowly gaining ground towards the next flag. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who doesn't have it and liked the infantry combat in vanilla '42 (or even if you didn't since it feels a lot different).

A buddy of mine had it. He demo'd it me and let me play a little. Sweet game.

I enjoyed it, but I hate buying things.

If you only play one map, the veterans will tell you that Avalanche is the way to go. That and the Rocket class is the best.
