Haven't seen the trailers but I read the preview in PCGamer. I think this is gonna be a must have game.
I loved MOHAA as well but COD seems like it's gonna blow away the competition.

Great Game. The first Russian level was freaky. You get a clip of ammo and have to charge the German machine gun nests.
I'd give it 8.9 out of 10. If you like ww2 shooters then its a good game to get.

My son says it is great. It looks pretty good even from my viewpoint as a non FPS player.

I've seen a friend play that level, it was nuts. So was the scene before it, when you landed from the boat, and the artillery shelled the germans. His Radeon 9600 graphics card lagged heavily during the shelling.
Then again, he had the detail on highest possible setting.

Hmm, sounds good. I might add it to my other FPS Collections along with Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, MoH:AA (Breakthrough and Spearhead expantions), Dark Forces: Jedi Knight, and Misteries of the sith.

I got it for Christmas and beat it one month later. Liked it alot. The game has a lot of elements from and inspiration from movies like "Saving Private Pyan", "Band of Brothers" and "Enemy at the Gates". Loved the landing and assault at Pegasus Bridge!!!
Are the grapics requirements higher than those of MOHAA?
I read a preview on COD a while ago and it talked about squad-based play where the AI interacts with you? Sounded cool at the time but is it really worth the extra CPU time in terms of gameplay?
What about replayability?
The highly scripted nature of the MOHAA's SP levels makes it pretty repetitive after the second time you play it. It's really just the game's in-depth action that makes it worth trying for a second time (i.e. you know the guard's going to pop out x seconds after you open x door in x level --still, it's kinda fun to blow him away anyway as he runs for cover behind a table).
From what I'm reading here, COD is pretty scripted. Any comments.
Another thing is that MOHAA had (has? --haven't played Spearhead for PC) no bots in multiplayer. That's unfortunate. This adds a lot to a game --especially if you don't have the necessary high-speed internet connection needed to play these games online. Thing is, it's hard to design bots for none-SP maps, so it's ususally not worth the developer's time. I'm guessing COD also has no bots. Am I wrong?
The reason why I'm asking most of this is because if I buy this thing, I want to know that a) I can play it on a less-than-high-end system at a playable frame rate and b) that I won't beat it in a week and then have to shelve it because it lacks replayability.
Personally, I found MOHAA to be pretty impressive (although it might be taking the phrase, "the only good German is a dead German" a little too seriously --well, at least it doesn't paint them as downright evil as in RTCW..which was nevertheless also pretty fun I have to admit
) but I'm more into bf1942 which puts you and some bot buddies against a whoe bunch of other bots on a giant map (see El Alemein) and you can use anything that moves to kick their arses. No restraints. Little scripting. 
My GC is a bit lower than yours. Are you playing it at lowest resolution?
BTW, I also remember reading about some quick-grenade-throw feature (i.e. by pressing the assigned key, you throw a grenade and then automatically switch back to the previous weapon). If that is a actually in the game, how's it working out? Definitely a time saver (slow is having to take your finger off the one of the movement keys in order to press the grenade key, click the mouse to throw in one of the two modes, then press the primary weapon key to switch back and then place your finger back on the movement key...all this while being fired upon by the enemy).
Another question: when you play a level where you have to charge the enemy in COD, does the AI cherry-pick like it does in the Omaha Beach level in MOHAA? I always hate it when designers cut corners like that and then say it's "challenging?" What's challenging about working out the timing of MG fire and waste 5 minutes running from cover to cover, knowing that if you raise your head at the wrong interval you'll get hit no matter what?
