Cult Icon Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 It was very popular in the 1990s/early 2000s. I have memories of playing Allied Assault on the PC and Frontline on the PS2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 For the longest time, I was under the impression that Allied Assault was actually the first Medal of Honor game. I didn't realise there were installments for the PS1 beforehand. Generally speaking though, I find that I can only get properly immersed in a first person shooter if they do something really interesting with the story, a la Bioshock or Half Life. Overall, I think it's a taste that I've yet to acquire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see connections in these games to history. My favorite shooter is Red Orchestra 2's multiplayer because it has the best balance between realism (equipment, maps, body movement) and gameplay. The Call of Duty franchise is very much the "child" of Medal of Honor's original development team. The DNA is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I don't have refined comments on these games, except that... Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was a great game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 ^ Call of Duty WW2 is coming out. It looks very similar to the original WW2 CODs save for the graphical re-skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 ^It's interesting to see how much the graphics progressed in only a couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
