 
 
Development on
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault started eight
months ago. Oklahoma-based 2015, which had
previously worked on the add-on Wages of Sin, was
contracted by Electronic Arts to put together a
small demonstration of the proposed game using
the Quake III engine. Two weeks later, the team
of designers and programmers had created a
prototype level of a devastated French town that
was populated by a handful of Nazi soldiers.
Although rough, the demonstration showed off not
only the power of the Quake III technology, but
it showcased the talent of the team at 2015 as
well. Electronic Arts was sold, and Medal of
Honor: Allied Assault was born.
In Medal of Honor
Allied Assault™ from
Electronic Arts, players will assume the role of
Lt. Mike Powell, member of the famed 1st
Ranger Battalion who gets recruited by the OSS
and battles through over 20 levels that are based
on historical military campaigns of World War II.
Set during the
most trying years of the war, 1942-1945, Medal of
Honor Allied Assault gives players a sense of the
courage it took to survive the landings at
Normandy, the assault at Arzew, a rendezvous with
the Resistance outside the village of St. Lo, and
the push through the heavily defended border of
Germany itself to take the bridge at Remagen.
Staying true to
all the gameplay features that made Medal of
Honor™ one of the most acclaimed and
best-selling games launched in 1999, Medal of
Honor Allied Assault will build on the success of
that game and add new player weapons, new
interactive Allied vehicles such as Sherman tanks
and M3 Half Tracks, smarter enemy AI, and the
ability to call for artillery strikes.
Medal of Honor
Allied Assault is headquartered in Cabinet War
Rooms at Whitehall, dispatching players on
numerous campaigns, each with specific objectives
to meet in terms of infiltration, execution and
exfiltration. Missions will be based in the
deserts of North Africa, on the bloody shores of
France, across the tundra of Norway, and,
ultimately, over the Rhine into Nazi Germany.
These missions range from silencing the gun
batteries at Port Arzew, to sabotaging U-boats at
the sub pens of Trondheim, surviving the landing
at Omaha Beach, and finally, holding the
Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen— the only
battle where the Germans used their dreaded V2
rockets in a tactical capacity
EALA continues to
work closely with the Congressional Medal of
Honor Society (CMOHS) to ensure Medal of Honor
Allied Assault reflects the ideals and integrity
of the prestigious Medal of Honor. Electronic
Arts is privileged to be partnered with CMOHS in
the Society’s continuing education and
awareness efforts. You can learn more about the
Society and the recipients at the official
Society website, www.cmohs.org
