Isn't the COD series basically a rip-off of the MOH series?

"Ripping off" would imply cashing in with a mediocre or inferior game. The main group who did the seminal MoH:Allied Assault left to form Infinity Ward of which CoD was their first release.....a game that was superior to MoH:AA in almost every respect.
