This game is a weird one, and a lot of it is down to tonal dissonance. I'll give some brief mention to its expansions. Then that's followed by the Ardennes and the magical German snipers that make the whole damn level a game of trial and error and gah! But yes, I enjoyed the game. As you clear out trenches, as you fight in the rain in Sniper's Alley (damn that level, I even wrote a poem about it (1)). More in the European countryside, as you make your way through ruined towns. It's a good game, but to me, its strengths are outside the D-Day level. Make no mistake, Allied Assault is probably the most influential game in the series, and the one most people think of when the word "Medal of Honour" comes up (well, bar the actual medal I guess), but I think others surpass it. I don't have much to say about the original, but I will go on to say that while I liked Allied Assault, I don't think it's the best of the bunch.
I've played quite a few games in this series, namely the original, Allied Assault and its expansions, Frontline, and Pacific Assault. Not perfect - some of the maps are a bit too large and empty, but damn enjoyable.Īnd finally, the granddaddy of the genre, Medal of Honour. I shouldn't need to explain what makes Battlefield.well, Battlefield, but lets just say that all the series's strengths are in this game. It's not the best Battlefield game I've ever played (that would be Battlefield 2), but damn if this isn't a close second. Next up is a game that deserves a hearty pat on the back, is Battlefield 1942, expansions included.
Only two CoD games I played, WWII or otherwise, and both were solid outings.
I'll give an honourable shotout to the original CoD and Roads to Victory.
