The Beginning of the End for FPS Games
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is a first-person shooter based on World War II (obviously). Nowadays, when players hear that a new FPS game is set in a military scenario, they can get quite apprehensive of the game's quality since these types of games generally tend to be mechanically boring, linear and bland looking games. Sadly, despite what I had heard from fellow players, Medal of Honor fits right into that category despite its age. What you get are a bunch of missions, 70% of which are generic on-foot sections (run to where the compass guides you, kill everyone, blow up objectives), 10% are some gimmick sections (the worst one being a sniper mission) and 20% vehicle sections (point and shoot using a mounted gun, or a tank). Sound exciting? I played through this game on the hardest difficulty and was pleasantly surprised at how difficult it got. Unfortunately, however, this isn't a Doom or Wolfenstein game where a mobile player who manages their ammo wisely can overcome any difficulty eventually. No, this is a game where you simply have to Quick Save before every encounter so that you can memorize the enemies' hidey-holes, only to Quick Load and engage them effectively without losing as much health the next time. On that subject, health is not regenerating (thank God), and there are just enough health pick-ups to get you through the game. It's not all bad, it's just not fun. Are there any fun mechanics to make running and gunning fun? Any fun weapons? Cool scenarios maybe? No. Quite the opposite, in fact! The scenarios may be exciting for war/history-buffs, but gameplay-wise? Being in a tank with tank controls shooting at other tanks is not fun. Trying to find snipers who only show part of their heads far off in the distance behind a roof, only to quick load and snipe them before you lose health is not fun. Keeping a brain-dead AI team alive is also not fun. Boring game, nothing special, and sometimes even frustrating. Not recommended at all.
