    Sin duda es el mejor de su saga
    Ya no hay tan pocos NPC's como los de PS1, pero siguen siendo pocos
    Pero lo malo causo que los FPS genericos sean todos de la segunda guerra mundial Luego llego Call of Duty con su primera entrega que aprovecho lo que no pudo hacer Medal of Honor. Graficos para su epoca: 8/10 jugabilidad: 9/10 misiones: 7/10 Recomendable para los fans de COD y    Sin duda es el mejor de su saga

    The best Medal of Honor in my opinion (I like to say it is more like Call of Duty 0). Really loved to play it, and I cannot recommend it enough for those who enjoy early 2000s FPS.

As players stepped into the boots of Lieutenant Mike Powell, they embarked on a thrilling journey through historically inspired missions, delivering an unforgettable gaming experience.

    One of the standout features of Allied Assault was its ability to transport players back to the chaotic and perilous battlefields of World War II. The game's attention to detail was evident in its meticulously crafted environments, from the war-torn cities of Europe to the treacherous landscapes of North Africa. The authenticity of the settings, combined with the atmospheric sound design, immersed players in the heart of the conflict, creating a sense of urgency and immersion rarely seen in games of that era.

    The gameplay mechanics of Allied Assault struck a delicate balance between realism and accessibility. The controls were intuitive, allowing players to quickly adapt and engage in intense firefights against enemy soldiers. The variety of weapons and equipment available, ranging from rifles and machine guns to grenades and bazookas, added depth and strategy to the gameplay. Additionally, the inclusion of vehicles, such as tanks and jeeps, further expanded the gameplay possibilities, providing exhilarating moments of armored warfare.

    The single-player campaign of Allied Assault was a masterclass in storytelling, as it took players on a series of thrilling missions that spanned across various theaters of war. From infiltrating enemy bases to engaging in daring rescue operations, the missions were varied and well-paced, keeping players engaged and invested in the narrative. The game's cinematic presentation, including cutscenes and scripted events, added to the immersive storytelling experience, drawing players deeper into the harrowing world of World War II.

    In addition to its compelling single-player campaign, Allied Assault featured a robust multiplayer mode that allowed players to engage in intense online battles. With a variety of maps, game modes, and customization options, the multiplayer component offered hours of competitive gameplay and fostered a vibrant community of players.

    Graphically, Allied Assault was visually stunning for its time. The character models, environments, and weapon details were rendered with impressive attention to detail, creating a visually immersive experience. The game's soundtrack, composed by Michael Giacchino, added an extra layer of intensity and emotion, complementing the gameplay and enhancing the overall atmosphere.

    Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was a timeless classic that captured the essence of World War II and delivered an unforgettable gaming experience. Its immersive gameplay, stunning visuals, and engaging narrative made it a must-play for fans of the first-person shooter genre and history enthusiasts alike. While newer titles have since built upon its foundation, Allied Assault remains a testament to the impact it had on the genre and stands as a defining entry in the Medal of Honor franchise.    … Expand

    The thing i like about this game is it`s mission design. All of the levels are so unique and unforgetable.
    The AI is better than most of the modern games and actually takes cover and kills people you didn`t even see. The only problem is resoultion. You need to edit unnamedsoldier.pdf if your resoulition is higher than game supports.

    Predecessor to COD1 and built on the same idTech3 engine, this game was the best WW2 game alongwith RTCW when it was released back in 2002. A truly remarkable game that set several gaming standards for the other FPS games that followed.

    Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (along with Medal of Honor: Frontline) is the best FPS ever. Not the best Medal of Honor, not the best WWII FPS... the BEST first person shooter EVER! Unforgettable scenes like Omaha Beach, Scuttling the U-529 and Fort Schmerzen. With the bright mind of Steven Spielberg and a legendary soundtrack composed by Michael Giacchino. Definitely gets a 10/10. Masterpiece.

    Saving Private "Medal of Honor". The game that turned the market on their side, and for a good reason: the game is excellent. The theme suits so much. I can recall some iconic cutscenes even now.

    Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is a classic game which is every cultured and experienced players should taste.

This game deserves like 7/10 score because this game was aiming to give a realistic WWII ambience for its time. Playability for present-day is up to you. The game has a decent gameplay. If you care a lot to graphics for a game, I don't reccomend it. If you are used to play old games which has old graphics, I reccomend this game. Some levels of the game may annoy you with its difficulty even you are playing on easy or normal mode, especially the last levels of the game is more challenging than others. The ambience and variety of the levels are the best part of the game, play it for this reason if you are going to, not for fun. The overall of the game is 7/10.… Expand

    I rarely give games a 10/10 rating, but MOHAA is a masterpiece. This goes beyond a video game into cinematic territory. No, not 30FPS motion blurred garbage - REAL cinematic territory. Hollywood-quality scores and music, diverse levels with twists and turns, authentic environmental effects, believable enemies... it's just glorious.

    How a small team of developers pulled this off in 2001 baffles me. Modern games still struggle to reach this level of believably and immersion, and this game was designed to run on a PENTIUM 3.

    Absolute must play. Especially if you're a WW2 buff.    … Expand

    So I remember my father playing this when I was younger and I played it a lot through the years but I recently replayed it and I'd like to review it with my recent experience in mind. I'm not gonna talk about the graphics because they are obviously dated. The game came out 18 years ago, cmon. What I will talk about is gameplay, since in regards to the story, there isn't much to tell. YouSo I remember my father playing this when I was younger and I played it a lot through the years but I recently replayed it and I'd like to review it with my recent experience in mind. I'm not gonna talk about the graphics because they are obviously dated. The game came out 18 years ago, cmon. What I will talk about is gameplay, since in regards to the story, there isn't much to tell. You are a soldier and are fighting through different operations during the war that take you from Norway to Normandy and Germany etc. The shooting feels good even by today's standards. You can't aim down sights, besides a sniper rifle, but there is a crosshair that helps you aim. The whole game feels very cinematic and the music plays a big role in that. Michael Giacchino did an excellent job with this one, making the score iconic. What bothered me a lot was that when you got hit the aim went all over the place especially if you got shot multiple times and it felt like you couldn't fight back or had to try a lot to make that shot count. Other than that the weapons feel and sound realistic and the sound effects are really good. Also those animations are pretty amazing and hilarious at times. My game crashed twice all in all and there weren't many glitches or bugs other than that. Many times though an NPC that would follow me would block the entrance and I had to push him out of the way to get through and it was annoying if I was into a fight. Also Sniper Town didn't feel as hard since I took a photo of the locations of the snipers as to not get annoyed again. Those f*ckers can shoot you even before you can see them and the AI's accuracy were 95% perfect.
    I would recommend it to anyone newcomer or returning veteran to the series. It's a must play...    … Expand

    The KI is very unrealistic, sometimes very stupid and sometimes they shoot unrealistically well, even through bushes. For example there is a sniper mission which is very frustrating. The most missions are very linear, only the last mission is a bit free. Look at Far Cry, this is how it shall be done. The near fog is annoying, especially if you could see further with your sniper.
    The last point is about grenades: It could be better to have just one hotkey to throw a grenade, in this game you need to change weapon and you have a break between it. So in the time maybe you dont want to throw them anymore. In addition the detonation is very weak. So I didnt use it often.

    The good side? The missions are very different. Only the stealth mission was weak, because you could kill everything too. I appreciate, that all the missions were real operations from the 2nd world war. It is very interesting to search for more informations about the operations in real life. The atmosphere is top too, no one will every forget the Normandy mission.
    I like it, when you dont need to invest a lot of time to get to know all of the game, in this case 6-8 hours, maybe a bit too few, but better then 15 hours and the gameplay is repetitive.

    Result: Surely a top shooter at the release date. But nowadays there are some outdated gameplay mechanisms.    … Expand

    t first, it start as a casual fps, but further you go, worse it will go. Enemies see your movements through walls and sometimes they will start even shooting at you before you are at drawing distance. Later part of the game will really ruin your day, but the difficulty level was pretty norm

    I logged tons of hours online on this game. We had lots of added content and maps. My favorite addition was a modified damage scale, all rifles were made to where a torso or headshot was one shot kills. The sniping on this game was incredible esp online. I havent played it in over a decade but the memories remain, only halo 3 has been as good for me.

    Был один бесящий баг в этой игре: это невидение правого нижнего угла экрана игрой, из-за которой, при нажатии стрельбы, сворачивалась игра. Но, несмотря на этот баг, она мне зашла своей простотой. Графика - 8, сюжет - 7.

    This is the kind of game that made me believe in the bright future of gaming, and at the same time, strengthened my belief that we're still far off from the level of professionalism needed to boost this form of entertainment to a more prominent cultural level.
