I had preordered MOH a while before it came out, and never touched it since, partly due to the large number of negative reviews.  
 
I just started playing the campaign though, and it's not bad, I like it better than the rail-shooter-disguised-as-an-FPS CoDBo's single player. 
 
I found that the action is way better paced, CoDBo is just too constant, gave me a headache. I found the level design more interesting, the enemy placements are more engaging; even though this is another corridor shooter, the enemies rarely spawn just in front of you and force you to move around and flank, play with a decent amount of tactics; also sniping is a thing in this game, etc. Also you've probably all seen that youtube vid playing the first level of CoDBo without firing a single shot. Anyway.  
MoH also operates in the traditional FPS way, which is to reach an area, clear the area of enemies, and progress, while Blops has (most of the time), infinite spawning enemies regardless of what you do, and they will disappear as soon as you reach the next cinematic trigger/checkpoint, trivializing everything you do and what you are shooting at, and the decisions/tactics you took to progress in an area. 

Another sour point in the reviews, and I remember Jeff talking about this in the bombcast and pointing it out in the QL, are the invulnerable NPCs that have to carry out a certain cinematic event before you can kill them. Well, there are a dozen in CoDBo; the one that annoyed me the most was an RPG soldier in the snow level firing a rocket at the bridge you are on, killing the buddy running along with you. I started the checkpoint again (which sent me way back) and found that he was invulnerable for the long duration of his animation while I shot at him.  
 
All I'm saying is I think people kicked way too much sand in MOH's vagina. If you enjoyed Blops' single player, at least give MoH a try, rent. :)

good to hear.
 
I just picked it up for 30 bucks on Amazon.  (33 if you include shipping)  Too good a deal to pass up for me so even if the game is so-so it's not like I dropped 60+ bucks on it.  
 
I got Black Ops as well and it just doesn't do it for me.  Haven't really enjoyed a CoD game since CoD2 but I fall into the hype every single time.  Hopefully MoH will be that needed change for me.  When it came out I was slightly put off by the fact that, when watching vids, the SP and MP looked like almost two completely different games.  I thought the SP looked a lot better than the MP vids I saw even tho I do enjoy Battlefield.  I'll see how I feel when I play it tho...won't get my copy till Thursday.

got it tonight and played a couple hours.  Actually quite enjoy the MP and SP.  Definitely prefer it over Black Ops...guess I'll have to sit in the minority on this one.  Hope we get more MoH games.  I do hope the SP and MP are a little more cohesive next time tho.  Some happy medium between the 2 in this game would be nice.
