Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (abbreviated MoHAA) is a first-person shooter (FPS) computer game developed by 2015, Inc. and created by Steven Spielberg[1]. It is the 3rd installment of the Medal of Honor series. The game, based on the Quake III Arena engine with modifications from Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.², simulates infantry combat in the European and North African Theaters during World War II. Allied Assault is the first game in the Medal of Honor series to be released for Windows, and the only one to be ported to Linux. In the game the player takes on the role of Lt. Mike Powell of the United States Army Rangers who works for the OSS. Single player missions include assaulting German bases in Algiers and Norway, storming Omaha Beach on D-Day, and rescuing comrades behind enemy lines in occupied France.

The game has been re-released as the Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Deluxe Edition which includes the Medal of Honor: Spearhead expansion pack, two strategy guides, music from Allied Assault, and a preview of Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, and the Medal of Honor Allied Assault War Chest which includes the game and both expansion packs.

Overview

The game follows US Army Lt. Mike Powell, an agent for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), and Army Ranger. Lt. Powell is sent through six missions in the North African and European theaters of operations and is expected to complete multiple objectives in every mission. Col. Stanley Hargrove, Powell's mission commander, sends briefings and important information pertaining to the mission every so often. Along the way Powell will frequently be helped by Allied forces, however most of the time he is on his own against the Germans.

Multiplayer

Medal of Honor also features a multiplayer mode where it is possible for up to 64 players to play at the same time. Several game modes are available:

  • Free for All - A classic "every-man-for-himself" style Deathmatch, where every player fights for himself, with no teams. The winning player is the player who can score more kills then any other player in the match.
  • Team Deathmatch - Similar to the Free For All mode, except that the players are divided into two evenly sized teams. The team that, overall, scores the most kills, wins the round.
  • Round Based - Almost the same as the Team Deathmatch mode, except players do not respawn after being killed. The team which has the last man standing wins the round.
  • Objective - Allied or Axis forces take turns having to plant one or more bombs at a given location while the other team has to defend this location.

Expansion packs

Spearhead is the first expansion pack for Allied Assault. It was developed by EA Los Angeles. Spearhead re-enacts 3 major European Theater battles through the eyes of Sgt. Jack Barnes (who is voiced by Gary Oldman), a paratrooper of the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. As Barnes, players land behind the Atlantic Wall on D-Day in Normandy, hold the line near Bastogne in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge, and infiltrate Berlin before the Red Army begins their attack. Spearhead adds Russian and British weapons to the player's arsenal as well as being available for multiplayer selection.

Breakthrough is the second expansion pack for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, this time developed by TKO Software where the player takes the role of Sgt. John Baker of the US 34th Infantry Division. This campaign covers the Battle of Kasserine Pass, the turning point of the North African campaign, the fall of Bizerte and the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943, along with the epic race to Messina between George Patton's 7th U.S. Army and Bernard Law Montgomery's British 8th Army, the bloody Battle of Monte Cassino, followed by the amphibious landings and defense of the beachhead at Anzio in 1944. Breakthrough adds Italian weapons for single player and multiplayer as well as the British and Russian weapons from Spearhead. Also, additional British weapons are included, to complete the British arsenal.
