Medal of Honor™: Pacific Assault

OK, so this game I absolutely loved as a kid. I was a huge fan of MoH and kind of disliked CoD. Allied Assault was one my favourite games, and here comes the sequel! In the times of release it came complete with a Pearl Harbor battle scene - with the movie fresh in our minds - boot camp training and a new squad based system. I loved this game back then, you even got to fly an airplane!! Played it on my shit computer before getting a new one, in slideshow framerate. In 2023 however... yeah... This game kind of suck. The protagonist is emo, the squad based system really, really bad and the graphics are not as good as they should be (same year as Half Life 2, come on!). The weapons feel weird with the bullet counter on the side and they just sound off. Many weapons absolutely suck and the rifles are terrible. Stealing japanese rifles is a death sentence since they do no damage. Most missions are kind of bland too, and there's no open terrain in the way one would expect a jungle war game. I have lots of problems with this game as an adult, but as a teenager I had a blast.

This is the best World War II game set in the pacific theater. Pros You get to see tactics used by the Japanese in the war - pretending to be dead, kamikaze, camouflage in bushes, snipers in trees, bonzai charges The medical/health system is different. You have a limited number health packs from the medic which is used to heal you or revive you. The medic starts off "green" and pukes when healing you. Eventually after gaining experience he stops. The developers seemed to take Pacific Assault in a more grounded or realistic direction. There's aim down sights which is a first for the Medal of Honor series. MGs have punch to them - they shake and blur your vision. In certain parts you get concussed which adds to immersion. There is weapon sway. If you die standing in the river you will hear yourself choking on the water when you die. When going prone your camera shakes and you move a bit as your body reacts to the force of hitting the ground. Your squad will start to look more rugged. The Japanese are known to target medics and your medic covers the cross on his helmet. All these details add so much to this game compared to any other Medal of Honor in the series. See allies doing arm movements. Allies react to how you're doing - fall back, push forward, low health. Allies comment on what you do some. Main menu is a 3D menu along with radio that plays music, news reports, etc. Cons Ladders still suck Bonzai charges can stunlock you if there are a ton of enemies near you. Glitches - my aim down sights which I changed to melee stops working, squad disappears or blocks paths, ammo refills after reviving, wrong awards given for hidden objective and difficulty. Enemies take more damage halfway through game. Flyboys mission is a pain Damage Indicators aren't great. Only time I can tell I am getting hit is if all four arrows show up. If you get hit from in front the bottom arrow shows on screen which seems backwards. Squad commands are not needed to use at all.

Along with Medal of Honor Allied Assault this is one of the best WW2-themed shooters of all the time. Hidden gem.
