I've been looking for a new game to buy, but either I'm getting older or the games or getting younger. Or maybe both.

Anyhow, I see from this area that some of you are playing it, and mostly griping about it. How does it compare to BF1942? I loved that one initially, but quit as the gameplay tilted crazily towards all-powerful airplanes. With BF2, have they gone more for balance or realism?
