I actually play both DoD and BF1942. In BF1942, there is more variety in vehicles and you can fly in the air. That really adds another dimension. However, the community in BF1942 is not the greatest. It will take you some time to find a nice mature server. DoD is a great game. That was my dose of WW2 before BF1942, although Medal of Honor was also a great game. Play both DoD and BF1942 for multiplayer fun
