There isn't really much reason to go and play Battlefield 1942 anymore unless you're nostalgic and got time on your hands. It's still certainly playable - it hasn't aged badly, but now that the Battlefield franchise has so many installments you're not really missing out on playing the game. However, immense respect is due. Battlefield 1942 pioneered the future of relatively large player counts in multiplayers FPS, and like it's successors offers tons of opportunities to play different roles and styles across different maps. Everything great you see in the large battle FPS games, had its spirit originate rate here.
