I agree... Red Faction is a great game aswell. Wish I had DSL at the house so I could multiplayer w/ you guys. 
1942, COD, and MOH (Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault) are really great games, but you need a good computer w/ a really good graphics card. What kinda pc's and cards are you guys running? I build all of mine:
AMD 2500+
Gigabyte Motherboard
Nvidia MX440 (my major bottle neck, but about to get an ATI 9600 XT)
20 Gig HD
1 Gig. 333 DDR Kingston Ram
Sorry if this got too technical, I am a geek (as if you couldnt tell).

I have an AthlonXP 2800 with an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe motherboard and 512MB PC-3200 memory, with only a GeForce4Ti4200 and I still waste most everyone in video quality, benchmarks, and performance.

another stick of 512 DDR
5950 NVidia card
need a new cable for my A-drive
5 more red led case fans (replace the three that are not)
red cold cathode light

Did you guys know that an AMD Athlon XP 2500 can be overclocked to an XP 3200 in about 30 seconds? Why pay more? Other AMD owners might like this URL, but be careful and think about what you are doing http://www.lostcircuits.com/cpu/amd_unlock/. As is noted in red text, you assume all responsibility.

To overclock a 2500+ to a 3200+ you need a older cpu. The new cpus are locked now. Also need one of the older Abit NF7-S Ver2.0 motherboards. Don't quote me on this. (out of the loop on this) If you run around the net, you will find many post about this subject.
My 2500+ and Abit M/B will do it on air. If you do try it, just keep an eye on your temps.
