A few of my friends and I have been playing together lately. We use the software at
Teamspeak.org and Logitech gaming headsets to communicate in-game. The quality of Teamspeak is incredible, and it is FREE. You can make your own servers for privacy, very easy to setup.
There is also a smacktard free community at
www.agbf1942.com. That's the group/non-clan for the Usenet newsgroup Alt.Games.Battlefield1942. They run 2 servers all the time, password protected, but you can just goto their website to get the passwords. You have to promise not to be a smacktard to play there though, and to take the [AGB] tag.
We are usually playing from 11pm to 3am eastern. Look for [AGB] The Tinman, [AGB] Rambo Joe, [AGB] JD Master Chief, [AGB] Jeffrow....
I am The Tinman.. I am just getting the hang of flying helo's now.
Look me up on Teamspeak, I have been using the #1 Teamspeak public server, in the High Quality Room #1... It's public, and it's free.. Lots of fun!!
