Vietnam is better of theos 2
but used to play 1942 a bit, but eh, too much team based and slow. nough enough combat skills based. other games used to be not enough team based.
Thats why i like onslaught for UT2004. perfect blend between team based and close combat. =D
and WOOT! they are porting the Unreal 2 XMP (expanded multiplayer) to UT2004 as a mod

!!
cuz the ppl who made unreal 2 (legend) went out of business, so ppl have been given the OK to remake that multiplayer game as a mod for 2k4. It's class based outdoor combat. like a mix between onslaught and team fortress.
and for thoes who dont know. mods are FREE
Unreal 2 with XMP is also on Xbox. unreal 2 the game itself brought the score down because that game isnt much fun. but the XMP mutliplayer is quite fun indeed.
What mode you play? hopfully not DM, i cant stand DM.
