COD does not have anywhere near the up close visual fidelity arma 2 has, while arma 2 does not have the scope that cod has. But arma 2 is also a flightsim, and ground combat sim all in one. Also the engine came out 2 years ago I believe...
Arma 2 doesn't need to calculate a fraction of what IL2 COD does. The damage models of one single plane engine on screen in COD is probably eating more processing power than everything happening at once in an Arma2 screen. You are comparing apples to oranges.
