Medal of Honor: Allied Assault War Chest

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was the game that turned me from a strategy only player into the FPS genre, where I remain to this day. It definitely set the tone for the avalanche of WWII FPS games that would soon follow, but none truly captured the experience (although the first Call of Duty came close, probably because it was made by many of the people who made MOHAA). MOHAA was the first game to combine the WWII setting with nice tough of realism to create a new and refreshing WWII shooter that many later games appeared to try to emulate. Medal of Honor was well made because it felt like a shooter in that it wasn't so obsessed with "realism" that it detracted from the gameplay, yet had enough realistic elements not to make you feel like you were playing a brainless shooter. The diversity of the missions and settings (from a North African city, to a Kriegsmarine u-boat base in Norway (including a brief section inside a u-boat itself), storming Omaha Beach on D-Day, combat in the French countryside and within urban environments, to Germany itself, the game successfully avoids any lack of diversity in this sense. In some missions you fight alongside other American troops in a full scale noisy assault, in others you infiltrate silently to reach your objectives as quietly as possible. However, even though there are portions where stealth is advised, it is rarely mandatory and you can go in with guns blazing if you simply MUST do so.

Пусть и устаревший, временами очень сложный, временами очень кривой, но хороший шутер. Я получил удовольствие от игры.

Can't get this anymore in retail (rare) or Origin. Played the hell out of it as a kid but lost my cd copy. Brings back nostalgia. The developers left and went to make another big title COD. All this modern warfare nonsense doesn't cut it for me.

Even for the time, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault has some of the cheapest enemy design ever, the enemies who seem to always know where you are and have pinpoint accuracy and will turn around in a split second and shoot you without fail every time and hit you with EVERY SINGLE ROUND, plus the insane amount of aimpunch that this causes creates a ridiculous amount of frustration whilst playing, things that could have removed some of this frustration would have been a lean system in the single player so you could lean around corners and take enemies out more tactfully, as well as increase the accuracy of your own weapons to match that of the enemies. All that being said, still a pretty solid game, the weapons (although disgustingly inaccurate in the players hands for some reason) have a lot of "punch" to them in terms of sound and animation; speaking of animation the enemies animation for when they take shots is absolutely amazing, it definitely makes your weapons feel super powerful when your shots do connect, honestly miss that style of animation in modern games.

This game is many years old? The graphic is totally outdated because of this? Who cares! This is still a masterpiece. The feeling of world war 2 you can find in this game it's rarely found in any other game of this kind. I replay it about every year and I'm always happy to do it, maybe not about the sniper town mission, that is a pretty game breaker, but other than that, the other missions are just great. And we need to talk about the omaha beach mission? it's just taken from the "saving private ryan" main scene, and playing it was great about 20 years ago and still is. Maybe the expansions are a bit of lower quality, I found them a bit good than the main game, with some boring sections, forcing you to quicksave about every second you live thru without getting hit.
