I enjoyed the last one (story mode mostly) but online got stale way too fast.
Was it because it tried to be like CoD? I never played the game.
Hard to say. i don't believe MOH was trying too hard to be like CoD. I think the straight forward maps that turned me off. They felt limited, in how I could approach them after a few hours of play. I dunno, I always preferred maps that have multiple paths and levels and being able to run in larger circles. Without an onslaught of snipers covering every open spot

. Basically the maps felt flat and one dimensional after awhile. However, I did enjoy them for the first couple of weeks.
