My personal belief is that most of the folks that like "realism" in the game prefer MoHAA over other games for that same reason. Unlike RtCW, with frigging zombies and movement rates like pre-teens on green apples, MoHAA is more immersive in the period.
Plus, the very first time I heard the Garand was gonna be in the game, I thought.....Oooooooohhhh yyyyeeeeaaaahhhh.
Ping!
