That I'd rather play Battlefield 2 and 1942 vs battlefield 3 due to the fact that you can LAN game and use mods? I actually purchased the games from amazon so I could install them again. Battlefield 1942 looks dated but both games are still as fun as I can remember. My system btw is a Phenom 1090T with running at 3.8Ghz, 8GB of DDR2 RAM and a pair of SLI'd GTX 470s, so it runs Battlefield 3 really smoothly. Its just, I think the experience of the older games are better when playing with friends.
