MoH because EA seems to really want CoD to not be the best-selling shooter franchise so I think they'll make the game great. Also, some Cocoa Pebbles would be nice.
I think MoH is going to be worth a rental to play through the campaign, but I really buy these games for multiplayer. And to be honest I'm not really looking forward to multiplayer being done by DICE and on the Frostbite engine... I already have Bad Company 2. So Black Ops is the only buy for me.
I have to say Medal of Honor. I think EA wants to go all out with this one based on what I am seeing. The series needed a good reboot and hopefully this will be it.
As far as Black Ops goes, I don't know enough about it. The teaser was nice, but I need to see more. I actually like Treyarch, so I am hoping that they will deliver.
Oh, a bowl of cereal actually sounds pretty good as well. At least it's not another shooter.:P
I'll be going to Medal of Honor for my "war" shooters from now on.... The only $$$ Activision is getting from me from this point on, is the money I'll be giving to Blizzard for SC2 & Diablo3
Disregarding all the Activision stuff and focusing on just the games, I'm undecided and indifferent. Not particularly looking forward to either. Although Medal of Honor promises goats and beards so that's more alluring for now. Have it temporarily pre-ordered. Voted for a bowl of cereal though because I'm not sure if the pre-order will stand.
that teaser for black ops has made me curious. its not going to be WWII or at the same time as MW so I think I'll get it. the only reason why WaW got old for me was it was basically just a WWII mod for cod4 with some new features that didn't affect gameplay.
as for MOH. don't know. Its based off of a real unit and its dealing with a real war that we are still fighting. Iwasn't really into shooters back when the series was still good, but this reboot has a chance of being good.
The campaign seems like something we've never seen before, as opposed to MoH's pretty standard "modern military in the Middle East" premise. And I can get my DICE multiplayer from Battlefield, so unless MoH multi is something totally new and worth checking out, I'll stick to Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3.
That said, MoH could certainly be good. I'll rent it at least.

Yes, I'm very glad to see a Vietnam and Cuba setting. I've been waiting since COD1 lol.
I honestly never cared for Call of Duty, something about the game put me off. Medal of Honor actually looks very good, and looks to have an enticing solo campaign, which, for FPSs, isn't usually a developer's first priority, it seems.
Neither, my FPS plate is full this fall with Crysis 2, Halo Reach, and Deus Ex 3. Medal of Honor is the more appealing of the two though, with DICE doing the multiplayer and all.
I am going to go with Black Ops and for two reasons:
Developer familiarity/ track record- I have played and enjoyed Treyarch games (WaW). I have been critical of Treyarch and their heavy handed scripting but I still enjoyed WaW, whereas I haven't had any recent experience with EA LA's games. I know Treyarch makes good (not great) games.
Setting- I'm tired of modern shooters and want to see how Treyarch handles wars across decades in various places like Cuba, South America, and most importantly Vietnam. I'd really like to see how they handle the politics and all that jazz from American History. The teaser for Black Ops excited me more than the MoH stuff so far.
However, I am a little iffy on the Call of Duty Brand and Activision.
Its funny that both look indentical, seriously if i did not know any better i would say its the same game. Even the helicopter piloting scene. Anyway i dont know why people hate cod so much to think moh will be better. First they hate iw now they hate treyarch, i am eager to see when they gonna hate moh games as well. But i guess everyone is falling for the whole "dice wil make the mp" thingy.
