Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - Spearhead

Allied Assault was better than Spearhead because of the fact that most of the missions were probably real,

In Allied Assault you play as OSS agent 1Lt. Mike Powell, you lead the way in Africa, destroy the Sub Pens in Norway, land in the infamous Omaha Beach, fight your way through bocage country in Normandy, steal the plans for the Tiger 2, fight you way through a war torn French Village, drive a tiger tank and storm a German fort, the game play was amazing but some of the graphics and skins were iffy, one of the best WW2 games on the market and it lead to the production of Call of Duty

In Spearhead, the missions are somewhat glitchy, laggy and for the most part factious, there are many noticeable mistakes in the game, in the first level Welcome to Normandy, the officer in front of you speaks in a New Yorker voice while during the initial jump when everyone stands up his voice changes to British, in fact you don't land in Normandy you land in Holland, the 501st PIR landed in Normadny no allied unit during D-day ever penetrated Danish Airspace, no Britihs paratrooper ever landed in an American Dropzone vice versa, during the bulge you lead 4 soldiers to take out a German depot, that for a fact would not have happened as all 4 would've been killed. During the German assault if one enemy soldier even gets past the trenches you fail the mission, no American unit ever used German weapons in strength during the Bulge they all had American built weaponry, and the ammo came from dead or wounded soldiers. another noticeable glitch is trying to shoot down the Stuka, you can shoot 300 rounds of 40mm ammo and the stuka will still be flying and you fail the mission, during the battle of Berlin a doubt that any western allied soldier ever made it to Russian lines through German control territory, a T-34 needs at least 3 crew man to man it, in the game your character is the only soldier manning the tank.

i give MOHAA a 8.5/10 and

Spear Head 2.5/10

I think you misinterpreted jinjaninja's comments...

1. There were British paratroopers on D-Day, yes....however, they did NOT drop with the Americans. They were on the other end of the beachhead

2. He's saying that, in the game, there are Rangers in Bastogne rather than the 101st or 82nd ABN troops who were actually there

OK, with that out of the way....this is a fun little expansion, but way too short for the money. A gamer of decent skill can have it finished on the same day they purchase it.

to correct ulmer there, you play a 1st lt. by the name of mike powell in allied assault.

as for this game, wow, what can i say. 9 missions really was worth the 20 bucks i spent, and the cutscenes with gary oldman narrorating were surperbly done. i didn't think anything could top or meet the omaha beach scene from the original, but once barnes leaped out of that plane, my jaw hit the ground at the atmosphere i was seeing.

the medal of honor series are perhaps the BEST games EVER made next to the highly noted thief series. world war 2 is such a fantastic and fun time to study about, and with these games, you can take part in a piece of the history and the sacrifice that we went through in order to achieve what we did. way to go EA

There are a number of mistakes in this game: 1. The British did not paratroop with the Americans on D-day.

2. The allied soldiers in the winter levels are rangers, not airborne.

3. What the hell is he doing in Berlin? However I felt that the game overcame these, and was very enjoyable to play.

1.The Americans technically did not paratroop with the British, but they sometimes got mixed up.

2.Barnes in Berlin is an OSS agent (whom you may have heard of in MOHAA), and is there only for the documents that are contained in the safe.

3.There were both Rangers in and 101st guys at Bastagone! 4. Glenn Brody is right in every aspect!

The PIR landed with the Americans.

The Americans frequently got mixed up.

The British fought alongside the Americans on D-day
