Brothers in Arms is NOTHING like COD or MOH. It has strategy elements..you dont go rambo on the nazis like you do in COD or MOH.

You may want to try the demo to see if BIA is your type of game. I didn't care for it myself but its a quality game.

I loved the single player campaigns for both the original COD and the United Offensive expansion pack. I still enjoy playing COD multiplayer several nights a week.

The concept of BIA is nice, but I quickly lost interest in it. Granted, I only played the first 3-4 levels, but the strategy just felt like the same thing over and over again (provide covering fire, flank, kill....repeat for the next group of enemies).

so its alot of hand holding?
maybe i should just reinstall far cry

BIA is a tatical group shooter compared to the more action-oriented gameplay of MOH and COD. I'd definately try the demo before I bought the retail game.

I'd say there is more action than R6, but I only played the original R6, none of the sequels.

It's alright. But CoD is still much better.
The thing I hate about BiA is the aiming. You have to aim down the sights alot and still you have trouble hitting Germans. It takes 30 rounds from the Thompson to kill 2 Germans at 10 yards. You have to use controlled bursts of fire or you won't hit jack sh!t.
