I got fed up with the game because the K98k is apparently some kind of death ray laser beam that can kill even by grazing the hairs on the back of one's neck.  As for the M1 Garand, well, you might as well be flinging marshmellows with a slingshot, cause that seems to be the effect on the enemy.

About the garand, there is a problem with the hitboxes right now.  It is supposed to kill in one shot to the torso or the head, but since the arms are very often infront of the torso, and the hitboxes do not fit the 3D model perfectly, many times the game thinks you hit the arms, thus taking two hits to kill a guy.  The DOD guys are fixing that in 1.1 by making it so that if the torso is in the path of the bullet after hitting the arm, it will regester as a torso hit, and thus kill in one hit.  

I kinda wished they made the Garand fully semi-auto though.

Great Mod, but after playing BF 1942 it seems like Im in a maze.

Are there more open maps I can filter servers for?

Been playing since beta 1.2. Used to be a huge fan of the game, but the HL engine is showing its age - specifically map size and graphics.

Sadly, no other WW2 shooter comes close.
