I think I’ll try the solo campaign mode, I like doing the campaigns before playing multiplayer. I liked BF2-4 I just can’t take BFV with how stupid it looks.
there's an addon also for the 1942 version that is quite good, it's called road to rome https://oldgamesdownload.com/battlefield-1942-the-road-to-rome/ it adds additional maps and weapons
And "secret weapons" https://oldgamesdownload.com/battlefield-1942-secret-weapons-of-wwii/ but I haven't tested this one
There's that mod also that I loved https://www.moddb.com/games/battlefield-1942/downloads/bf1942-pirates-final-mod
But it's multiplayer only... And I'm not sure people are still playing it, it's a mini mod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-2Q_SKZLS8
