Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is a 2002 first-person shooter video game developed by 2015, Inc. and published by Electronic Arts.

The game uses the id Tech 3 engine, with modifications from Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.², to simulate infantry combat in the European and North African theaters during World War II.

In Allied Assault, the player takes on the role of Lt. James Powell of the United States Army Rangers who works for the Office of Strategic Services.

Single-player missions include assaulting Nazi bases in Algiers and Norway, storming Omaha Beach on D-Day, and rescuing comrades behind enemy lines in occupied France.

While Grillo distracts the German forces, Powell sneaks into a bunker, cuts off Axis radio contact and fights his way to a coastal lighthouse to signal the Allied fleet to begin Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa.

Following the Allies' success in Africa, Powell and Grillo are sent to German-occupied Norway to infiltrate the city of Trondheim, where a Kriegsmarine U-boat is being outfitted with a prototype Naxos radar detector.

Thanks to Powell's efforts, the German U-boat threat is neutralized, clearing the way for the Allied invasion of Europe, Operation Overlord.

After rescuing a stranded British pilot Joe Baylor, Powell meets up with French Resistance member Manon Batiste (the protagonist of Medal of Honor: Underground).

He raids a manor house being used as a command post where he secures important enemy documents, including the blueprints for the new King Tiger tank.

Powell's next mission involves hijacking a King Tiger tank and using it to secure a vital bridge at the city of Brest.

Powell's final mission sends him to Fort Schmerzen, a German mustard gas-producing facility that was previously raided by Lieutenant James Patterson (the main protagonist of Medal of Honor as well as Medal of Honor: Frontline), but has since been restored to operation, supposedly as a prisoner-of-war camp, but is being used to produce mustard gas.

Powell fights his way into the lower levels of Schmerzen, where he discovers that the fort's mustard gas production facilities are still operational.

Vince Zampella and Jason West left 2015, Inc. to later form Infinity Ward with Activision to develop the Call of Duty series, with the first installment taking inspiration from both Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Allied Assault.

Barnes lands behind the Atlantic Wall on D-Day in Normandy, holds the line near Bastogne in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge and infiltrates Berlin before the Red Army begins their attack.

[8] Breakthrough, the second expansion pack for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, puts the player in the role of Sgt.

In the United States, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault sold 900,000 copies and earned $34.2 million by August 2006, after its release in January 2002.
