CoD got MASSIVE praise for it's first 2 games though. They were genuinely atmospheric WW2 shooting games (and, IMO, a whole lot better than the dreck that followed).

So it could be both (MoH was also praised a LOT).

Soldier of Fortune was praised mostly for it's "gritty" story and the "realistic" bullet damage (shooting different areas of a character had different visual wound results and reactions).

Pretty sure the OP was talking about the Normandy beach landing bit. That was in MoHAA.
