I played a lot of 1942 when it firsted released and it was a favourite of the LAN scene but was quickly overtaken by the Desert Storm mod.
That said I did not enjoy as it was pretty unbalanced. Also the original had a lot more maps. The maps they have replicated were good ones though and the fact that most things blow up is a nice touch.
The balance of Air/Land and See has always been an issue for the Battlefield series and one aspect they get better at all the time. I will look forward to the slow trickle feed of maps for 1943 as I am sure they will come.
Graphics wise they are adequate for this type of game and in some places very good. Overall I never felt the graphics wanting.
From what I have seen of Warhawk, 1943 is deceptively easier to master.
