Red, let me quote myself...."I've never argued that COD is more authentic than BIA because I know that's simply not true."

The COD series is not historically accurate but I belive COD 5 has taken a step in the right direction by re-creating famous battles fairly well. Keep in mind, thats not me saying its accurate, thats me saying it feels like its starting to shy away from the arcade feel of the past and move into a deeper and grittier game play, which is one of the things the developers said they tried to do. Did they succeed? I would have to say somewhat. Could they make it even more accurate without changing the game style? I'm not so sure and I doubt the developers would do such.

COD:5=Better gameplay, more fun and a better representation of WWII than other games in it's series.

BIA:HH=A historically accurate and deep story but with poor gameplay and lackluster overall feel.

I dont find most run and gun games to be fun but if thats what you like...

I for one agree with alex both games provide a mixture of different highs but at the same time lows.
I have both games, BIA was mostly for me to find out the ending of the other ones, and cod is my online fun, yh sp is gd but BIAs rocks and minus some glithces easily kicks ***!!!!

If you want the best ww2 shooter, get both!!!!

You keep talking about realism. Well killing nazi zombies is hardly real. a llittle fun though.

Do you actually read what I say or just start typing? The zombie mode is seperate from the whole campaign mode, it is a EXTRA mode which you can chose to play or not play, that does not interfere with the normal gameplay at all.

like I said before it shows that they don't care about WWII history very much if they are going to put in a zombie mode. It doesn't matter if its a seperate mode or not.

So Corrion what you are saying is that if game developers add a seperate game mode to a game they totally discredit it? Well BIA has an online mode so I guess they are discrediting history by having the airstrikes that can be randomly called in at anytime or the capture the flag game style because in WWII there were no guys running around playing capture the flag. And in the old BIA games they had cheat codes. So what you're saying is that they discreditted history because, well hold on I'm not exactly sure about this but I think it's true that the soldiers in WWII didn't have unlimited ammo or have rubber grenades. Plus is that the only defense you have for this? After everything I say to discredit what you say your rebuttle is "......uhhhhh but they have zombie mode." If you keep talking about how the seperate zombie mode "ruined" COD 5 I'm not gonna even bother responding because I know that since your only argument is about that than COD 5 is easily a better game.

No I'm not saying that at all theres a lot of things that are unauthentic about COD Zombies are just one good example. And In BIA they don't have CTF they have "Capture" the flags just mark territories. Theres a lot games out there with good tactical SP modes but online they fall apart BIA stays authentic in every mode. However COD is unauthenitc in SP and MP.
Theres no comparsion.

And I was only adding to what SteelBunny had said so dont say that was my only argument

I always find that I have to quote myself,

"I've never argued that COD is more authentic than BIA because I know that's simply not true."

COD SP and MP is not meant to be authentic, it's meant to be epic and entertaining. I've played BIA multiplayer and it's all garbage, all the squad leader stuff and giving people orders it always falls apart and you know it. People always do whatever they want to get a kill or an achivement or whatever, it never is tactical and that may because UBI could have done a better job with it, it might not.

I've said this like six billion times, COD and BIA are two different game styles so you can go ahead and argue that BIA is more authentic and I wont touch that, because it is more authentic, but at the end of the day the better game all around is COD.

Like I said up there I don't like run and gun games WWII or not it's been done so many times im not that impressed by it anymore. COD has been the same thing over and over large battles or not.

So than why are you even arguing with me? My whole point of posting all this to begin with was to let people that were not satisfied with BIA know that COD 5 is a much better gaming experience, then people who haven't even played COD 5 started bashing it and saying stuff that wasn't true about it. If you don't like run and gun games than, wait a sec, I got a crazy idea....don't play them!!!! Just don't sit here and bash a new COD game you've never even played. I've said since my first post that BIA and COD are two different game types so if you like BIA style games better than COD style games, hold up I just thought of another brilliant idea.....play the BIA style ones!!! Have a wonderful evening.

No need to be a smartazz I was just defending my statement.

I mean come on if you're gonna be that ignorant and than have this revelation than I'll say what I want to say. I've had to bicker with ig'nant people like yourself who have yet to touch COD 5. Next time you want to come here and tell me what game is better actually play them both, don't look at a few screen shots and pretend your a genius.

Hey I have done my homework on COD5 I just wanted to have a good debate about these two games you don't have to make it all personal

Have you actually played the game for more than minutes at best buy? Reading what other people say about the game isn't "doing your homework."

I have read and watched the reviews and read about the story mode. From what I have seen they have not changed anything about the original COD formula. COD games are all the same run and gun with no story.

That's exactly what I thought, I've played thorugh both BIA and COD 5 campaigns multiple times and played online for both games so I'll be the judge for now, don't talk to me until you've actually played the game because until then you will have no idea what you are talking about.

the game itself is not bad, and fun to play. However, I have to say I expectd a lot more, like for instance a skirmish mode (which I personally thought was the best part about the last title). also the authentic mode was rather disapointing, since in dug in mode (which is not realistic in the first place) they would not let you use crosshairs nor iron sight. Therefore authentic mode was not more fun or more challengin but just more anoying. Also, over all the game is way too easy. It,s called HELL's highway not walk in the park highway. I will defenetly not buy the next title before I have rented it out somewhere.
