Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - Breakthrough
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - Breakthrough
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - Breakthrough est un jeu de tir développé par TKO Software et édité par Electronic Arts, paru le 22 septembre 2003 sur PC (Microsoft Windows) et Mac. Il constitue le deuxième pack d'extension pour Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.
Dans cette extension, le joueur incarne le sergent John Baker de la 34e division d'infanterie américaine. La campagne couvre la bataille de Kasserine, point tournant de la campagne d'Afrique du Nord, la chute de Bizerte et l'invasion alliée de la Sicile en 1943, suivies des débarquements amphibies et de la défense de la tête de pont d'Anzio en 1944. Breakthrough ajoute des armes italiennes pour le mode solo et le multijoueur, ainsi que les armes britanniques et soviétiques issues de Spearhead, avec des armes britanniques supplémentaires venant compléter l'arsenal.
Concernant l'accueil critique, la presse a salué cette extension : GameZone a estimé qu'il s'agissait précisément de ce qu'un pack d'extension devrait être en construisant une expérience unique et excitante à partir du jeu original, et Game Informer l'a qualifiée d'excellente extension. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic regrettent en revanche que les ennemis laissent peu de munitions lorsqu'ils sont éliminés, ce qui peut poser problème pour achever les missions. Le score agrégé du titre est de 60,45.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Precisely what an expansion pack should be; it takes the original game and builds a completely unique, exciting experience off of it. »
« An excellent expansion. [Dec 2003, p.180] »
« A worthy expansion to its namesake, taking players through previously unexplored areas of WWII's Mediterranean campaigns. »
« It doesn't add that much to the series beyond a dozen extra missions. For hardcore Medal of Honor fans like myself, this will suffice. »
« While veterans of the series who like fast and loose gun battles might complain about the design changes, anyone who appreciates variety and a touch of realism in their WWII shooters should appreciate the new direction. [Jan 2004, p.77] »
« While it could have been a more inspired finale, the multiplayer aspect makes up for the single-player shortcomings. The aging engine has been used for all its worth. »
« What we do get are new levels in North Africa and Italy, in which we slog through the same old objectives and firefights we've been executing since January '02. [Dec 2003, p.108] »
« There really isn't much to Medal of Honor Allied Assault Breakthrough that you haven't already seen before, and it's definitely not a product that will make people go out and buy Medal of Honor Allied Assault if they haven't already. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - Breakthrough. The final chapter in Italy. The Breakthrough expansion to the classic Medal of Honor: Allied Assault offers players new, exciting missions set in the heart of World War II. The game retains the atmosphere of realism and tension that made the original popular, while adding variety to the gameplay. However, some may find the story and gameplay a bit predictable, and the levels lacking in variety. Overall, however, Breakthrough complements the original game with worthy content, giving fans additional hours of action-packed shooter action. »
« Enemies drop to little amunition when we kill them. So you can have problem with finish mission »
« Перепрошел летом 2023, и получил массу удовольствия. По левел дизайну отлично, уровни достаточно открытые, вас не держат все время в узкой кишке, хотя они тоже есть, но это все больше напоминает арены, двигаться за частую можно разными путями. Напарники это боты, у них есть HP, они могут погибнуть, они также отстреливают противников и активно участвуют в бою. Враг сильно меньше привязан к определенной точке, и сражение напоминает онлайн битву с ботами. Боты преследуют вас, обходят с флангов, атакуют с разных сторон, активно стрейфятся и укрываются и всячески вас развлекают. Графика уже старенькая, но дизайн отличный, киношный дух в наличии. В общем это не очень похоже на тир как у конкурентов, а больше похоже на сражение с ботами из Quake3, только в декорациях второй мировой, и без респауна противников. Жаль что Call of Duty все еще выходит, а MoH серия которая послужила основой для всего жанра шутеров в реалистичном сетинге, уже нет. Отличная игра, с прекрасным геймплеем даже по современным меркам. 10 из 10. (2018) Один из отцов жанра шутеров про вторую мировую, вышел на PC. Все по заветам и лекалам Спасти рядового Райана и Братьев по оружию, в игровой форме. Сильнейший шутер того времени. »
« This game was a huge PITA when it first came out and I had to work too hard to complete it. there is almost NOTHING dropped by any of the bullet sponges who will use up your ammo and health in this abortion. You can head shot enemies and they shake it off with many who will get up after going down to shoot you in the back. Mechanics are a Joke and any semblance of "fun" was an afterthought by the Hacks that coded this mess. One of the most frustrating Bombs I have ever played even for it's time. Definitely would not spend more than $2.00 on this if you are considering actually paying for it! »
« Hello, this is a default review because i'm forced to use 75 characters. I'll edit this review in the future talking about the game, don't worry ;) My final rate is: 10 »
« Questo e il secondo DLC per il Medal Of Honor Allied Assault come detto nel primo DLC e un gioco decente con aggiunta di nuovi livelli diversi divertente da giocare. »
« Игра не плохая но миссия где надо было искать раненных товарищей меня раздражала везде в каждом углу сидит немец. Графика стала лучше всего за 1 год несколько новых видов оружия и она очень короткая. »
« Like Spearhead before it Breakthrough offers more of that sweet Allied Assault gameplay. This time though, I felt like the setting of the missions followed some darker tones fighting at night or during heavy rain which made the color palette of the textures mostly brown (fighting in the desert) and grey (fighting in ruined cities or during heavy rain). There new weapons to be found here as well and new maps for the multiplayer counterpart , alongside the 3 missions. They felt a bit harder than Spearheads especially the final one during the final part. I played the expansion on Normal. It didn't feel as memorable as the other one before it. On the technical part I encountered one bug where I had finished part 3 of mission 3 and it wouldn't load the next one so it got stuck there. I had to restart my computer to get it going again. Other than that it was nice. The sound effect are still good like the last one. I don't know what else to say. It's good for those wanting more gameplay or more maps for some LAN mayhem... »
