Does anyone else on here play it? Almost as good as BF1942, especially the Hue, Quang Tri, Hastings, Con Thien, Lang Vei, Game Warden, Cambodian Incursion and Ho Chi Minh Trail maps. Love using the CAR-15 and M60 in particular. It's pretty much dead now save one or two busy servers which is a real shame as I have as much nostalgia surrounding this game as I do 42!

Favourites:

Monte Cassino - Always an epic match on this map, especially when you're the allies and you have to fight your way uphill. The way it's night time and there's constant explosions from artillery gives it an eerie feel. It reminds me of the bridge scene in Apocalypse Now.

Omaha Beach - Been done to death in pretty much all World War II games, but it's still really enjoyable. Taking cover on the beach as a sniper for the allies is always good fun! And then the ensuing battle in the nearby village is always great.

Iwo Jima - Tanks, planes, ships, jeeps, artillery, landing beaches, mountains, airfields, sniper vantage points, bunkers, it has everything you could ask for in a World War II game!

Tobruk - Usually pretty chaotic, the way you're always losing flags and you always have to watch your back for any tanks nearby. Great fun!

Battleaxe - Just a fun map. The way all the flags are in a valley with either base on each side gives it a sort of arena feel which I find quite cool.

Least favourite:

Wake Island - Unpopular choice but I just find it a bit overplayed. Could never quite put my finger on why I never liked it but I always sigh and roll my eyes when I see it's the next map.

El Alamein - Again, overplayed. Most of the map is literally just desert. It's also a map ruined by people who just spend the whole game flying over your base and dropping bombs on you.

Bocage - I just kinda find this map a bit boring. Like El Alamein there's not really much in terms of scenery, just countryside, a windmill, a few houses and two bases.

Market Garden - Again, there's just something about this map in that I just never enjoy it. Maybe I'm just not a fan of the Western Front!

Coral Sea - Unless you're good at flying planes then it's a bit of a pointless map in my opinion.

All the other maps

Honourable mentions to Caen, Stalingrad and Berlin for my favourite maps. Also a lot of Forgotten Hope maps were brilliant when I used to have it.

First of all, hi, I've been on SiMPLE a few times and it's a great server, up there with the Schindler's List servers. So hi!

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is the right place to air dirty laundry but I thought I'd give a heads up to my fellow BF1942 survivors. A few days ago I was on ---Noob serveR---, and a load of us were TKing each other for a laugh, including admins. But for some reason two admins took a dislike to me, their names were (F1)MADKILLER! and Post Punk. Honestly, I'm not sure what I did to piss them off but they kept sending me homophobic and racist comments and just generally being pretty vicious and cliquey. Post Punk would always slap MADKILLER on the back every time he used the n-word or whatever as well.

Then they started kicking me and banning me a few times, and despite the numerous times I've asked them what they had against me and what I did to warrant this, they'd reply with "cuz u run ur mouth" even though I'd only "run my mouth" in response to their unwarranted insults of me. So in general they are two people who like to abuse their power. And I STILL haven't got an answer as to why they keep acting the way they do, it's either just kick, kick, kick, or "stfu ur gay lol" if they're not so quick to hit me with the ban hammer.

Apologies if you feel this is a pointless topic but we all know that Battlefield 1942 is a dwindling community, but I like how tight knit it feels these days and it's a shame that you have people like this trying to ruin what's left of a community of people playing one of the greatest games ever! So basically, avoid ---Noob serveR--- if you're wanting to have an enjoyable BF1942 experience and not put up with childish bullshit.
