BF42. It looked like the game to take over my HL servers in time... but
guess not. Knowing this, I wouldn't have bought the game in the first place,
and seeing after-release-support on both BF42, BF'nam, and other games
delivered by EA, I'll have a real hard time convincing myself to put my hard
earned money in other games like BF2.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

my experiences with UT (classic, 2k3 and 2k4) were not much of a happy face to
me. Not stable enough, and though a nice webinterface, it was a bit to picky
when installed on Linux for my use. (it didn't deal well with my SMP
kernels)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
