Edit: Only good if you like multiplayer and have broadband. Not fun if you play single player against the computer.
Agreed.
Best game ever.
Although not many servers run the expansion packs anymore, so you may not want to bother with those.
BF42 has been my drug of choice for the past 12 months.
Much more fun than straight FPS games. Team based with different classes and you get to fly planes and drive tanks, jeeps, APC's, and ships.
For single player offline gaming, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is a great game. The Spearhead expansion is a lot of fun also. The first Spearhead mission where you paradrop behind enemy lines on D-Day is unbelievable. Incredible atmosphere. Reminded me of the Band of Brothers episode when they make the drop. Very intense. Only negative about the Spearhead expansion is that it is really short. You can easily finish it in a weekend, but if you get it for $20 or less, it's worth it.
I played NOLF 2 a couple months ago. Great game. I don't know if you were playing 1 or 2, but whichever, you should get the one you haven't played.
I'm playing Nightfire right now. It's OK, but I keep using the walthroughs because I don't like running around the same level for 20 minutes after I've killed all the bad guys trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do to finish the level. That's the thing that was irritating to me about Jedi Knight 2. I hate having to solve the stupid little puzzles like flipping certain switches in a certain order to get some door to open. At least in NOLF2, the compass makes it easier to figure out where you have to go and what you have to do.
