I think that's the difference maker, the realism. Although presented in a damn fine fashion, COD seems a bit too technical for me.
Don't get me wrong, H3 is a science on it's own. Strategy in that game is a must if you want to survive.
I mentioned this earlier, but I just can't achieve those "Superman" moments in that game. I don't have the sensation that I did something truly kickass.
In H3, I can grab a missile pod, hop into a light elevator, and "overkill" an entire group of 4. When playing H3, I have the potential to pull off action hero sequences at any moment.
When finished, I can integrate the game's experience back to the forum via images and movies.
There's all sorts of satisfaction here.
Not a knock against COD4 at all ... I bet you can do all of that stuff there too.
