WOW, how I hated to play deathmatch in a WW2 shooter. It just seemed stupid and wrong and I avoided it like the plague. Hate hate hate
It was either TDM or CNQ, or possibly one of the other objective based gamestyles.
I always saw UO as more of an add-on to COD, and
at the time, I liked it alot. Of course,
at the time, I didn't play anything else, so I had nothing to compare it to
at that time.
Other than the graphics being better, I thought COD2 sucked. It was ok when new, but the novelty wore off quickly and I actually prefered going back to COD/UO. Saw the other console only CODs, my son played them a bit when a friend brought his console over, he really thought they were lame.
RO came along in there, and we all know what happened
Never played COD4, not really a modern weapon fan, but I heard it was a bit better, but still mostly shoebox type maps from what I have seen. Definitely looked good from the screens. I might have liked it a bit more than say COD2, but you wouldn't get the RO gameplay, so in the end, I would still have been disapointed.
I am really interested in a WW2 Pacific game, and while I hope COD5 is really good, I know in the end, the gameplay will be sorta lame, especially compared to RO. I hate perks, you know the tanks will probably be a bit arcadey, etc. I might get it, because of the theme and all, but I still like this quote I saw on another forum from a COD4 mapper...

Just what we need. Another CoD4 - 60 years. Fighting on an island too small to play baseball, a sniper in every tree, grenade dysentery and everything else on fire.
Lets see. The game is released, followed 90 days later by the mod tools (probably broken). Within the next 90 the game dies.
****. No need to say "I told you so..."

You have to admit, that is funny
