Played this when it came out when I was 12, absolutely blew me away. I have no idea how many times I played through that D-Day landing mission.

Me too I was 12 when it came out and I thought it was so realistic. And loved how it was like Saving Private Ryan. My favorite multi-player game also for years in the 2000s. I think the graphics still hold up

I was 14 back in the day. I still remember the part when you have to pass the mine field to the bunkers while being shot by MG42s. I needed almost one week to get past it. Back in the day there was no KZbin yet and you could only ask your friends how to get through a mission if you have problems with it. Furthermore my dad only allowed me to play video games for 1 hour each day so it was super frustrating to be stuck there.

I just remember having so much fun playing Allied Assault multi-player. Sometimes until 5am.

THANK YOU! Someone gets it! I ran a 100 man MOH:AA clan that was ranked high on the worldwide leaderboards. People don't understand how HUGELY influencial this game was, no MOHAA, NO COD! We specialized in rifles only MP games, that M1 Garand clip ping sound will stay with me my entire life lol.

I was active in the German clan scene back then with an own German exclusive clan website that provided Leaderboards, a table with each standing of each clan, integrated functions to set up your own clan wars or 1vs1s and even anti cheat measurements! (Everybody had to make several screenshots throughout the game which was checked by the admins otherwise the game wouldn't count and you wouldn't receive any points) Clan life was such a great experience during this time and your clan members became like your second family while you made many friends with other regular players on the regular servers you played on. The clan leaders even organized a clan meeting in Austria once (it was an Austrian clan) where we even played real life painball. It was such a great experience! Nowadays stuff like this seems to be impossible because the games just mix you up with random people from everywhere that often don't even speak your own language or don't wanna speak English and so the whole social part of the good, old times is gone. The multiplayer scene was huge and alive in these days even though EA didn't care about its multiplayer at all and just pumped out two DLCs that weren't even compatible with the base game multiplayer and so everybody just played the vanilla game.

In the d day mission I remember you could definitely see the pillboxes from a lot further away than what is shown in your vid. That is also a glitch related to modern hardware.

(sorry for the long post)This was probably my first proper PC video game experience as I remember my childhood. It was such an insane experience for me,it felt like a movie and even though I was a 10-11 year old kid back then,I managed to finish the game after many months of trying and failing every time I got a new challenge thrown at me. Because I didn't know English back then I could not follow the instructions given to me(lol) I still remember it as the most "manual" fps experience I ever had! It even feels like a souls game cause the only way to progress in section were tanks and snipers are shooting at you, is to spot them by memorizing their position and learning the shooting pattern of the mortar guns and stationary machine guns! The environments,the weapons and vibe of the game show that it was loved and had a lot of attention put into it by the developers.I even played it about 6 years ago and it was as I remembered it. (Mind you, first time I played it,it was on windows XP with a 1.2ghz dual core Celeron with 128mb or ram)

The graphics of medal of honor allied assault is what turned me onto PC gaming, I played the Omaha Beach level at a PC store on showcase, that level combined with being amazed that the textures were good enough to read the ammo-boxes it blew my mind.

Excellent video! I've appreciated the Medal of Honor soundtrack you've been using in your HLL videos. Allied Assault, along with the first two MOH games, were crazy impactful for me as a kid. I wish more people would have played it. Simple as the title might seem today, there is something about the atmosphere in this game that I don't get with other games. You should consider doing a vid on the still active multiplayer community, perhaps with some other KZbinrs. Could be fun!

Yes you can save the soldiers on the first mission I feel like they just stand there though. I remember reloading it over and over as a kid to do that specifically haha

Fun Facts You can only save Pvt.Allen on first mission the rest of the guys deaths are scripted, the reason Allen almost never survives because he can take damage unlike the rest of the team but he can survive (i did it in hard its possible) In the first mission the game wants you to get a mp40 but you can avoid it, get the thompson and then get the mp40 at grillos room to keep both of them 4:00 Theres a enemy on the balcony top of the player 4:00 If you rush at the fort with before the truck finishes its animation the prisoner dies (normally surviving prisoner, Jury also dies) 4:10 Theres a talk between the officer and soldier we kill and the 2 prisoners but the officer shoots one of them because they refuse to talk 5:00 Theres a unused section near the flak guns You can stealth the motorpool until the tanks blow up In the airplane section you can shoot down the flying plane atacking you In the lighthouse section you can get mg ammo but dont get a mg gun 11:00 You dont need to get your hands dirty you can pick the paper up while hes still walking, only people you need to kill is scientists until submarine blows up (also manifest is a bonus, it gives you a medal if you pick it up) In DDay Allies actually enter the trench and help the wounded captain If you skip the sniper rifle in the hole you can pick up the kar98ks from enemies (you can only get it this way) 18:25 if you kill the table guy with a grenade without entering the table magically flips itself Theres a unused section at end of DDay, originally you needed to blow up a artilerry gun (like the captain says) it was cut despite fully devoleped In Boccage except the first guy that dies while talking all our allies can survive but they like to blow themselfs up The town with the tank is Saving Private Ryan reference Captain Ramsay is invincible until talking to the guys that show up after the halftrack explodes (that scene is also a reference to Saving Private Ryan) Even though in the mission briefing the game says there are 2 pilots but theres only one in the game The guy in the underground base is Manon, protoganist of MoH Underground 27:58 Your actually "captured" there by an ally disguised as German, but you murder everyone before interrogation even starts (according to mission briefing) If you pick up the bombs in the room and blow the king tigers outside you earn a medal In the Sniper Town there are no scripted deaths and the 5 guys from first section do follow you and they can kill enemies unlike the tank crew, if you save all the tank crew on hard diffuculty you get a medal and a secret mission (hide and seek with a bazooka medic) The tank crew has a lot of dialogs for crashing the tank You can stealth the stg44 facility by killing the first officer sneakly picking up the level 2 paper without killing the second officer, shooting the blueprint scientist because he gets hostile even if he doesnt notice you, kill the two guys on the end, holster your weapon and turn of the alarm asap You can also stealth communications outpost untill the bombs goes off, even if you clear the entire town the bombs goes off You can jump in the way of the train and it knock you out of bounds All the soldiers in the train survive if 5 or more survive you get a medal (2 soldiers inside can be saved too) Prisoners use Jurys head The mission briefing says put the bombs according to Jimmy Pattetsons photographs (protoganist of MoH) even though he doesnt take any photos You cant use the walther but you can in multiplayer You cant lean left or right but in multiplayer you can You can get out of bounds easily by jumping on npcs heads

I thought of this after my first comment. It ties in with MOH. The game title is the first military aircraft game, it is called "Secret weapons over Normandy". After this game I was hooked on flight games. I currently play War Thunder. At the end of this game you could play as a Star Wars X wing or Tye fighter, guess who was involved with this game. Give it a try !!!!!! Rock on!!!

MOHAA singeplayer is fantastic but for me the MP is where the meat of the game is. I use to be in a clan called 1stSSF some of my best gaming memories where playing online so many classic maps like The Hunt, V2, Remagen, The Bridge etc... always loved playing on the Axis side and using the sniper rifle Kar98 I was pretty damn good back in the day.

@chinamed1 5 ай бұрын

Yo... and you remember how the MP was set up... you would click (shoot) and have to wait for your packet to reach the server for your weapon to fire! (Nowadays, when a player clicks on their screen, the move is instantly recorded and sent to the server..) True skill back then! Timing your 110ms DSL to snipe an allied soldier crossing the road leaving his spawn at The Hunt .. lol

I didn't played this MOH AS, i was bussy with the OFP CWC, OFP Resistance 1.76/1.98 by that time and then the ArmA later on; but back then this were good graphics... check out the Interstate 76' or any other game of that era.

Terrydactyl: "it's a great game" Terrydactyl on most missions: "its kind of terrible" Although a pioneering game in general at the time, there are a lot of questionable design decisions which make the game unenjoyable and bland. You mention the lack of effort in set pieces and I agree. I repeatedly played this game along with MOH Frontline on the PS2, which would have been developed at the same time as AA. Overall I think the presentation in MOH: Frontline is a lot better, even with the reduced number of people on screen and more tunnel-like maps compared to AA (due to hardware limitations), but Frontline did set pieces very well. Who can forget getting the drunk German's to sing together to sneak past them! The maps, even reduced in size, are a lot better designed and more memorable. It has a much more satisfying story too, introducing a villain that you chase throughout the game and having you thwart his plans by the end, stealing his prototype jet plane. So although 2015 would go on to become legends as Infinity Ward and produce CoD, I think EA need a lot more credit for Frontline because I'd say that arguably did more for gaming than this title.
