Allied Assault Cheats

It’s been a wonderful year for first-person action fans, one that has seen the standard raised a number of times across a whole raft of areas. It began of course with the release of Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault, and after three years of waiting, we could finally engage ourselves in a game to match the benchmark standard set by Valve Software’s Half-Life. Its developer, 2015, has since been hailed as the new Valve and it was only right and proper that before a full sequel was undertaken, a mission pack would arrive to keep our spirits up during the long wait and perhaps raise the standard still further. If Medal Of Honor was the new Half-Life, it must surely follow that Spearhead would be .its Opposing Force?

As with Half-Life's exquisite add-on, Spearhead introduces a new set of missions woven around those of the original game. Instead of taking part in the D-Day beach landings, you begin the game just hours before, 1 as part of an Airborne Ranger mission set to parachute behind enemy lines and hinder the German supply routes, making sure that when I the hour approaches and the invasion begins, Nazi reserves are unable to respond. Of course since your other alter ego is waiting in the middle of the English Channel to wade ashore, Spearhead brings in a new member to the Medal Of Honor cast, Sergeant Jack Barnes, voiced by photo-fit Hollywood villain, Gary Oldman.

From Front To Front

The action then moves on to Belgium, where across the Ardennes Forest, US forces are taking a winter break before the final push into Germany. Little dothey know the Nazis have planned a desperate counterattack, spearheaded by their new Jadgtiger tanks and modified Panthers.

After the initial mission has been completed, our hero is then posted east to join the Russian forces as they encircle the shattered ruins of the Nazi capital, which Hitler has decreed must be defended to the last drop of blood. Here, among the rubble and up against the last remaining tanks and troops, you are sent to take part in the final battle outside the Reichstag building itself, where the Russians will raise the Communist banner to signal Germany’s final defeat.

Cut And Paste

They do indeed sound like a promising set of missions, don’t they? And even though they bare many similiarites to those of the original game, they feature a host of new characters and weapons as well as two new Allies to play alongside - the British and Russians. The problem is although there are plenty of new things to look at Spearhead is very predictable. For example, in the first mission you soon come across a machine-gun nest and you immediately remember that in Allied Assault as soon as you killed the gunner and reached the sandbags, a group of Germans would appear in the direction you’d just come from. Right on cue they do. The trick had worn thin already and I had only been playing for five minutes.

The pillaging of Allied Assault’s ideas doesn’t end there and it isn’t long before you start to wonder which rehashed mission from Allied Assault you’ll be tackling next, instead of looking forward to something completely new.

It seems to be the case that Spearhead's level designers simply took all the missions from the original game, cut them up into little pieces and glued them back together in a different order. Every step of the way there is a sense of de/a vu, and although Opposing Force was similar, at least there you recognised certain areas and events momentarily - you didn’t have to play through them all over again. Of course saying that, replicating the sublime atmosphere and superb ideas of the world’s best shooter isn’t necessarily a tragedy, and if you loved Allied Assault, then this will go a considerable way to giving you a thrilling WWII FPS hit.

Smoking Gun

A major factor driving you forward through the game is wondering what new weapons you’ll get to mow the enemy down with. It isn't long until you get to find out either, as you meet up with some British paratroopers who are more than willing to relieve you of your cache of stolen weapons and replace them with some good old British ones (as are the Russians when you join them later on).

Though there are no spectacularly outstanding weapons, there are plenty of them, and they are varied enough to all warrant use in certain situations, meaning you’re not constantly relying on the same one or two gunsthroughout. The choice includes a British revolver, rifle, submachine gun and grenades, ditto for the Russians, plus a new Sniper rifle and smoke grenades. However, it would have been great to have seen some new and exciting military hardware, like mines you could plant, perhaps a length of cheese wire to garrotte passing guards, maybe even a flamethrower or flare gun (and with Russians about, it’s surprising there are no recycled vodka bottles filled with petrol to throw around). To their credit, the developers have included some extra mounted weapons; mortars and anti-aircraft guns, which can be used to blunt an enemy advance or take out the odd tank, and the tension often raises to fever-pitched proportions as you try and fend off seemingly endless waves of enemy hordes.

Not Bad Company

The voice-acting is spot on, especially the British voices which are of a typically high quality, with the dry British sense of humour and stiff upper lip perfectly captured in the script.

The Al is again exceptional, furthering the high standard set by Allied Assault by making the enemy even more wily and unpredictable than before. German soldiers pop up from behind walls to fire shots, taking cover behind trees and holding back in doorways. They dart into cover, and best of all, run away if overwhelmed. They even lie down, which I think is a sneaky German trick they’ve learnt since the first game.

Interface-wise, the ability to lean around corners in the single-player game has also been incorporated from the multiplayer game, and since you’ll be hunkering behind trees, is a very welcome feature, and adds an extra tactical dimension missing from so many shooters.

Pin-Up Girl

But perhaps Spearhead's most exciting feature are the graphics. Despite still using the Quake III: Arena engine, id’s ageing code still manages to impress. The sheer size of some of the levels is incredible, with entire villages mapped out within surrounding forests. The landscape undulates far more realistically than before, and the days when we had to roam across flat featureless plains bordered by conical mountains are, it seems, over.

Whether or not you buy Spearhead will come down to what it is you want from an addon pack. Cynics will say that it’s simply more missions and extra weapons, but rather than this being hugely disappointing, there’s more than enough here to thrill you and replicate the sheer adrenal rush so masterfully created by Allied Assault. Despite the somewhat rehashed missions, the new environments and weapons provide ample incentive to keep marching through. Don’t expect to be surprised, but do expect to be captivated by the stunning backdrops and magnificent Al.

The Final Push

The sad thing is that had the developers had the time (it’s probably no coincidence this has arrived for Christmas) or the inclination to spend time searching for more creative and original ideas, Spearhead could have been the best add-on of all time. As it is, it's still an essential addition to Medal Of Honor, if nowhere near to a Classic. So lock and load soldier, there’s a war to be won, and believe me, you’re in for one hell of a ride along the way.

The Scenic Route

Keep The Red Flag Flying

ln reality of course, it was Communist Russia that dealt the final blow to Nazi Germany, but since Medal Of Honor is the official game of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, there wasn’t much chance of an add-on pack where you play a Russian soldier on the march from Stalingrad to Berlin. Instead your character is magically transported from the Western to the Eastern front, for no other reason than to give you a change of scenery. Still, at least the scenery is great to look at. Historically speaking, Spearhead’s final chapter is a joke - as
