Call of DutyMedal of Honor: Allied Assault
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Call of Duty
Aim and reaction carry the scripted firefights
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
classic FPS aim, leaning, and sniping
Reads3 vs 3
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Call of Duty
Light multiplayer prediction; campaign AI is scripted
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
historic multiplayer scene rewarded outguessing humans
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Call of Duty
Some spawn and hit unpredictability
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
scripted ambushes surprise only once

Call of Duty
Memorising set pieces and weapon positions
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
encounter memorization, especially Omaha Beach
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
