Not that I think this is a bad idea in concept, a similar Enemy at the Gates inspired level was pulled off pretty well in Call of Duty if I recall, I just feel that when a level like this is kicking my ass way more than the ones where my shooting skill was a factor, then something's gone wrong there.Īnyway, I finally just ran straight down the road, backwards, shooting dogs the whole way, then jumped into the back of a truck and that was that.ĭamn, 131 enemies killed.
Plus (and I can't believe I'm saying this) it needs people shouting out clear instructions on what I'm meant to do here, because after getting my head shot off over and over just trying to run between these rusty metal asterisks I'm kinda losing my interest in the whole affair. You know, I've been playing a lot of classic shooters lately and I've never once felt that regenerating health would have made them any more entertaining to play. Right now I'm playing as the hundreds of people who got senselessly slaughtered, one quickload at a time. Well I was wondering how they'd convey the utter madness of charging at machine gun nests on an open beach while still keeping the gameplay fun and the answer is. I'm sorry folks, I've got a retro monitor so all I can get are retro screenshots.) (Click the pics to view in x-treme 1280x1024 resolution. So I suppose you could say that this is Call of Duty 0. Maybe they just wanted to make sure each system got a game tailored to the machine's strengths, or maybe it was a deliberate scheme to confuse and annoy me, I don't know.īut what I do know is that 22 of Allied Assault's developers (including the lead designers) went on to form a new company called Infinity Ward after this and spent the next seven years building up a rival WW2 FPS franchise of their own that went on to achieve a certain measure of success. Weirdly though, this never got a console release instead the Xbox, PS2 and Game Cube got their own game a few months later called Medal of Honor: Frontline which was never released on PC. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is the third game in the franchise after PlayStation exclusives Medal of Honor and Medal of Honor: Underground. Fans of murky faded screenshots rejoice, as today I'm taking a quick look at a classic World War 2 first person shooter (again).
