Nice, looks like it runs well on Win7 64 bit (disc versions had problems with Vista and Win7)

Maybe they'll offer the expansions on the cheap at some point, Road to Rome had some good maps

I watched the intro video and the nostalgia rush was overwhelming, haha. Dumped soooooo many hours into BF1942 and expansions.

I used to rule Berlin before the BAR was changed.

The demo map from the Secret Weapons expansion was great too.  Jet pack + the German SMG was deadly.  I never bought the expansion because I think it overlapped with Vietnam.

jet pack was awesome

they probably won't do anything with the expansions, but if they did i'd toss $5 or so bucks their way
