MOHAA or CoD?

OK, tried to do this before, but the server screwed and wouldnt let me post a poll, thus the thread was lost as well.

Which was the better overall game? Medal of Honor or Call of Duty? I'm glad I have played them both, and each had its strong/weak points. Overall, I would have to say MOHAA is better. Whats your opinion?

I like CoD better. I played MOHAA alot and ever since CoD came out I have switched. They do both have their ups and downs but I say CoD is better.

If you really like WW2 games then you should go with Moh:aa. Its IMO better than Call of Duty in overall. Now if you were a huge fan of Counter-Strike then Call of Duty is your choice.

When MOH:AA came out I was blown away by some of the cool pre-scripted events and the prospect of realism. Then became incredibly underwhelmed when I realized it was another one man army type of game. I did enjoy it and the Spearhead expansion tho. Then came the Breakthrough expansion and the "kill 9 tanks with mortars" mission, I realized that EA was trying to get blood from a stone with the MOH:AA series.

Call of Duty was like a breath of fresh air compared to MOH:AA (especially the Breakthrough expansion). Gone was the experiance of the invincible one man army. Your NPC colleagues actually were usefull unlike the pos soldiers in MOH:AA and the game actually feels like you're a part of a much larger conflict (you know, that WW2 thing the kids have been talking about). CoD's pre-scripted events are really, really well done and the shell-shock view is just plain cool. The game was created by some of the ppl behind MOH:AA and it shows that they decided to improve on AA's shortcomings instead of just releasing the same ol' thing.

Yea, so in my opinion CoD is a far superior game over MOH:AA. MOH:AA was very good when it came out and broke some new ground with war themed games but it's no match for CoD.

Both games are great! But I prefer CoD.

I FOund MOH aa more of a arcadish type WWII fps, where as CoD was more realistic in my opinion, even though it takes a dozen bullets to kill you :P . Better atmosphere in the missions aswell...

Only two bullets in hardened mode in CoD!

I agree totally with Smapdi.

Has anyone tried the new Unreal Tournament 2003 WWII mod, Red Orchestra? Pretty cool. You play as a Russian soldier or German.Online multi supported.

I have both games, but I only play CoD... IMO its a better game in both single and multiplayer aspects. MOHAA is a great game, but CoD is a step ahead, and it should be because its a newer game.

Tried playing MOHAA when it first came out, but it never really hooked me.... but after playing CoD for 3 or 4 nights I'm totally addicted!!
The missions seem realistic, with a good atmosphere, and the AI of your team mates is more supportive rather than just letting you be the man on "point" all the time.

I'm looking forward to getting the expansion pack(s) for CoD once I've gone thru the SP game... but I'm also a fan of the Unreal Tournament games, so I'm gonna be checking out the Red Orchestra game too

CoD is much more realistic than MOHAA. The single player is awsome, and so is the multiplayer. Put down antoher vote for COD.
