Yeah I'm actually considering switching back to 1946 as I was in the process of doing the Malaysian theater RAF campaign and I'd been doing that for what seems to be longer than I have done the British campaign in CoD.
Still got the German campaign to do so I'll give that a go but after that I'll probably go back to 1946 as that seems to have more replay value in terms of campaigns and I want to get a lot more use out of the HOTAS I've just purchased.
But I do like the graphical beauty of CoD. It is amazingly detailed and good looking.
Shame someone can't mod the original campaigns from 1946 into CoD...
As for online servers, I'm never good enough in any game I play to go online (racing games being an exception but even then I'm usually average at best) and I don't like going online and getting pwnd by a bunch of guys who are far far better than I am, I don't seem to get better by that happening either.
