Medal of honor allied assult walkthrough series#
You'll often find yourself relying on your Springfield sniper rifle (one series of levels requires it almost exclusively), with your machineguns being the most likely choice for closer combat. All are based on real-life counterparts, most needing to be reloaded regularly. To do battle, you're given the usual assortment of weapons - pistols, machineguns, rifles, grenades and heavy artillery. At one point, you'll even meet up with Manon, the lead character from MoH: Underground, but that's pretty much all the crossover you'll find in the game. It may be a little low-tech compared to what we're used to, but certainly in character with the time period. Thankfully, this is the absolute worst thing that can be said about Allied Assault, and it has virtually no effect on gameplay.Īs in the PlayStation games, each mission is also introduced by a short briefing setting up your objectives, presented in slideshow format. You need to mouse around each screen a few times to learn where all the hotspots are, and even then, you won't be sure you've found everything. The menu interface is laid out in the same graphical style as the PlayStation games unfortunately, having to navigate with a mouse instead of a gamepad turns what should be a simple scroll through the game options into a side quest from Myst.
The game's console roots can be seen even before jumping into the game and that's not necessarily a good thing. To its credit, the game never allows you to get bored for too long just as you're settling into one type of gameplay, MoH:AA throws something new at you.
One mission in Norway has you sneaking around disguised as a German officer in order to sabotage a submarine another has you in France stealing a King Tiger tank and raising all sorts of hell with it. The missions are fairly varied - some will place you on search-and-rescue operations, some are hit-and-run, and some just require you to escape with your life. The game is spread out over 6 distinct missions (a total of 33 levels), each taking place at a certain time and location starting in late 1942, and ending in early 1945.ĭon't you wish you drove up in that tank? Actually, you did. Like the first two games, Allied Assault is a fairly straightforward first-person shooter - you play Lieutenant Mike Powell, an American soldier working for the Office of Strategic Services in WWII Europe (OK, one mission is in North Africa). For the series' first foray onto the PC, EA handed over development to 2015, a name gamers may recognize from the excellent Wages of SiN mission pack a few years back. The first two ( Medal of Honor and MoH: Underground) were developed by Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks Interactive for the Sony PlayStation, continuing the director's fascination with all things WWII. Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault is the third in a series of WWII games published by EA Games.
Gamers looking for a "realistic" experience may find the action a bit over-the-top, but like Raiders, it's such a fantastic ride that you'll likely find yourself raving about it long after the credits roll. Far more than your average shooter, MoH:AA sucks you into its world, complete with more scripted scenes that you can possibly hope to see in one trip through the game. That description pretty much sums up Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault. The first mission places you on a rescue mission with a squad of other Allied soldiers.
