I hope they change the damage infantry do, in bf1942 and bf2 you have to empty a full clip into someone, if only it was call of duty style damage i think it would be a big improvement, although it might be trying to recreate the effects of body armour. Saying that, the vehicle damage is spot on.
I got 1942 just because im into the WW2 genre as a whole and i still had dial up then so i just stuck to single player which got a bit boring after a while. I purchased bf2 to test out on my new pc and it hasnt dissapointed in that department but compared to other fps games i think certain aspects of its gameplay need to be sorted out, not to mention the poor server browser.
