A friend of mine was saying this about COD when it first came out, and that it was in the shadow of MOH before turning into the behemoth that it is now. Of course I won't know since the last COD game I played was COD2 and I thoroughly enjoyed it more than any other shooter at the time. I'm unsure if it was "underrated" though, and this is for the series as opposed to a specific game.

If I remember rightly, MOH was on a downward trend in terms of critics and reviews by the time the original COD came out. A lot of the original MOH team left EA to work on COD (oh the irony!) and I think he hardcore shooter fans knew this and jumped ship. Sales for MOH were still good, but the franchise dropped in popularity with each iteration whilst COD just kept getting stronger from the original's release.
