Am I the only one....

I have a slight problem with current FPS games, specifically Battlefield: 1942. This game is very popular - but to be honest I don't quite get it.

My main gripes comes down to vehicles.

Vehicles are being placed in more and more FPS games, and it seems to me that vehicles are one of the main appeals of BF:1942.

But for me, especially for WWII games, I want a more intimate experience. I want to be down with the nitty gritty foot soldiers. I want close quarter combat - fast paced yet also tactical. Steaming around in a tank or diving in and out in a plane is fun, yes, but they have simulation/war games for that.

BF:1942 still delivers a fun time, and being infantry is still fun of course - but I find the likes of Day and Defeat or Enemy Territory much more stimulating, more suspensful, and more true to the genre.

Is anyone else slightly concerned with the emphasis being placed on vehicles in our FPS games?
