Is it just me, or are there other silent gamers out there who are too afraid to voice their contempt toward politically correct heavily fantasized ww2 games? I am sooo damn tired of being stuck with absolutely no choice in options as to which side i can play. You get to play our side, and thats final. If ya don't wanna be the good ol' blank faced g.i., charging machine gun nests and knocking out tiger tanks single handedly, then you're a damn pro french commie who should be tarred and feathered.
Just once, i would like to play a high profile game that lets ya play from the axis side. Just once i wanna be a grizzled wehrmacht, or ss grunt, digging his final trench, and fighting against hopeless odds. Maybe even man a lone computerized 88 mm gun against a wave of sherman tanks. I wanna kill some g.i. bots for a change! Should i be shot for that? Just thought it might be fun to play as some historical soldiers who were actually required to fight, not as dudes who left their artillery and their air power do the hard work.

If you're supposed to be some kind of secret agent why do you need to anihilate an enetire German army per level? Maybe it's just me, but my idea of a WWII James Bond isn't a guy that bursts into a heavily fortified German military base with a big bad ass machine gun massacrating everything in his path. This doesn't make sense and it seems like some random kid designed the game.

This is sadly one of the few games that I felt so bad about that I needed to write a review. My biggest complaint is that all shots by the enemy AI are predetermined whether they will hit you or not. This part of the game is beyond frustrating. Whenever you try to duck behind cover it doesn't matter because once that bullet is launched its gonna hit you one way or the other. All evasive maneuvers are pointless. On top of this, if you stumble upon an enemy and blow him away, he falls back and stumbles as bullets hit him. Magically he can still fire, his gun is pointed straight at the ground, but you can watch the bullet fly out and still hit you, even if his back is to you. The enemy also always knows where you are unless there on patrol. Patrollers you can sneak up on and kill, however, everyone else is always pointing there gun at you. Its rather frustrating walking around a corner to find a fortress with everyone's gun already pointed at you. The damage model is also horrendous. It always takes three shots to kill someone with a basic rifle and more with a pistol or submachine gun. The only headshot that actually kills someone is the sniper rifle. The enemies are also everywhere, you have to search every single corner of every single house, because there is always some random guy cowering in a corner just waiting for you to pass by. This is not unrealistic per say, it just that there are hundreds of them.
The rest of the game is decent. It has good music and a good attempt to recreate Normandy, some of the levels are pretty fun. But compared to Call of Duty, which is more squad based with better weapons and realism, this game is a weak shooter.
Don't buy iy until they fix it!

The game is great if you can get it to work. The success rate for that is horrific. It does not seem to mater what your system is based on - AMD, Intel, VIA, etc. Your chances are about 50/50. Six other folks I work with have purchased this game. Only 2 got it to work right out of the box. Two others got it to work with a lot of sweat and tears and then to find it fail later in the game (audio looping problems). The remainder gave up and returned the game. I wish I would have done the same.
Support for this game is slow in comming. EA hast left it to you to debug their software and find work arounds for the numerous problems. I advise two things:
1. log on to the MOHAA site and check out the user forums. It will give you a good idea of what you may face.
2. Don't purchase this game until EA comes out with a major patch to resolve the problem.
Good luck.
Nice graphics, terrible gameplay

MOHAA is a game that is ideally suited for the person who gives no regard for even the slightest bit of realism and decent storyline. Essentially, this game is a slowed down Quake with Germans and Allies instead of Marines and monsters.... I knew this was not going to be a Ghost Recon, Operation: Flashpoint, or World War II Online, but its pathetic, and made me remember why I gave up console games so long ago. Not even a hint of realism here.
MOHAA makes me think of the movie Kellys Heroes where the Americans march right through German lines and single handedly kill hundreds of soldiers, only this isnt even comparable to the movie because its so bad!
OK, the game's graphics are really nice. Not on the scale of Ghost Recon, but still nice. Maybe if the soldiers weren't so dumb and you at least had a little control over them it would be slightly better, but you don't.
I really cannot recommend this game to anyone except hard-core teenage Quake players. I bet it will sell a ton, because the gaming community has very low standards for success at the moment. Ill stick with Ghost Recon, Flashpoint, and WWIIOL for now. Hopefully you will check those out if you want good, fun, realistic games.
Watch out!

I consider this a ...mistake. It won't run on my machine. Look carefully at the system requirements. Look carefully at the video card chipsets REQUIRED. One of the fixes EA suggests is to close all the programs (win98) running in the background. This is a major pain to do every time you want to load the game.
don't waste your money

This game is to hard in spot's. You just get killed right away. What fun is that? Also there's flaws in the graphics. I have a dell 1600 mgh with a 124 game card and it still won't play right. Stick with return to castle wolfenstein. That's a five star game. I also have the expansion pack it's as bad as the first one.
Best game of all? NO WAY!

Let me tell you the truth people about this game. Some believe this is the best of all FPS game ever but its completely wrong. A lot of us who got this game are Delta Force players and a lot of us complain it have stupid AI from DF1 to DF4, but the fact is, that Medal of Honor have actually nothing more to offer.
Let me introduce you the AI of this game, you shoot a soldier in in very close to another and what happen - well actually nothing, because the other one simple didn't hear it. Maybe those fighting happen in AMsterdam where all of the soldiers wuz simple high? I dont know. But what I mostly hate is that this game im comparision to DF have simple VERY strict way of plain - you can't just from Window you can't go anywhere except the areas where your mission should be done. And yeah looks like people from EA have forgot that a human can't simple accomodate 8 - 15 bullets - in Operation Flashpoint you can be simple shot by just ONE shot - like in REAL LIFE.
... You are at the airfield mission and have to shoot everything but you occasionally hit your jeep - no problem you not only got a factory of bullets with you, you also have bullet proof jeep. hat a shame.
The good part is the graphic and the sound - it is very good and very funny sometimes - of course if you understand german.
In all total this game is worser then Delta Force - any of them - and by VERY VERY far worser then Operation Flashpoint which I would HIGHLY recommend to all FPS gamers.

I got an Pentium IV 1,5 , an Nvidia3 Graphic card , 398 MB RAM ,and the only thing that I see is that the console of the game appears in any mission that I tried to play. I installed the game 5 times allready ,scan my hard disc and everything is the same.
Maybe the game is good , but I'm still waiting for ti to work. ( I hope that a patch will be soon to fix it.

The game order through ... has arrived. However, it appears to be only the game "Dune" and not "Medal of Honor Allied Assault". Since this was advertised as Medal of Honor Allied Assault I am at a loss to understand why it is a "Dune" game and not a World War II based game. Any reply may make it understandable about this mix-up. Or, at least to me, it seems to be a game not at all related to Medal of Honor Allied Assault. Please do reply as this is of major concern, and only after hearing back will I know what options are available to me. The shipping and delivery was really quick, however it does not appear to be what was advertised. Why would a "Medal of Honor Allied Assault" game be called "Dune"? With all due repeat, I need to know this.**This was an e-mail to the seller ... and there was no reply to my concern at all. So much for honesty on the net.
