Like people said, CoD has been out way longer and it's much much more popular. It's really not surprising at all. Both games are completely different - R2 is a good game, but I wouldn't really consider it as a "must-have" for all FPS fans.
Now about R2's scale, I was actually abit dissapointed. Throughout most of the game, I kept waiting for the "big battles" to come. And there was one when you get to level where you fight the 3 Stalkers but besides that, I really didn't get that feeling of being in a "massive war for humanity's survival". The CoD series does that stuff much better. It was even based on a real war for humanity's survival, if you consider the fact that world domination was on Hitler's list. When it comes to scale, all R2 really had was big monsters. Even then, those boss battles weren't that impressive. It is cool seeing those huge things with such nice detail and graphics, but the actual fights themselves are pretty repetetive in terms of what you have to do to actually kill them. What they lacked was scripted sequences. I expected alot more destruction and amazing things to happen when I go upto them. I thought that chimera "dinosaur" thing (near the end of the game) looked pretty amazing but, the battle against it felt so weak and half-assed. It could've involved breaking off huge chunks of the house you hide in, ramming into it, etcetc. Instead, it just patiently waits outside circling around. After that battle, I was really only trying to finish the game just to see what happens at the end.
The multiplayer is where R2 shines, but it's still completely different from CoD. R2 has more of a run'n'gun feeling, where CoD is alot more about precision. Still though, different types of FPS fans will enjoy both.
