| In Medal of Honor: Allied Assault on the Xbox, 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 based on historic 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. It will 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 the Cabinet War Rooms at Whitehall from which players are dispatched 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 |
