I like Battlefield 1942 and Vietnam much, much more than CS. I played CS for a while, but went straight back to BF. BF has vehicles and huge weaponry to use (defguns, navalships, etc). There are levels sort of like CS, but the matches last way longer (you respawn if you die) and the entire game is designed around the "King of the Hill" basis. In other words, whoever holds a flag the longest wins. Players move towards a flag and capture it by surrounding it for a few seconds. Whichever team holds the flag the longest wins.
In CS, you walk around and shoot when you see someone. Sometimes you can do neat stuff, but it's basically shoot or die in a few seconds. In BF, the average game starts out like this: get in a jet, take off into the air, flying straight for the enemy flag. Up ahead, you see a jet, and take it out with a well-aimed missile. After you turn around towards the enemy flag, you see a huge Panzer tank defending the flag. You aim the jet at the panzer and go full speed ahead at it. 50 feet from the tank, you bail out and hit the parachute. Your jet soars down on top of the tank, shattering its armor and blowing it to hell and back (along with any infantry nearby). You sail to the ground with your parachute and dispatch the last enemy with your M60 machine gun. The flag is yours!
That's just a little description of how a few minutes of BF is. It's simply more exciting and has more opportunities to do cool stuff. I love the game. I think it has a physics engine only rivalled by Halo when it comes to FPS. I suggest you try it out.
