Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

Trivia

In the fourth mission you are assigned to find an OSS agent named Manon. This woman has appeared in countless Medal of Honor games as a minor character, offering to meet up with the main character of the game for information, and is also the main character in Medal of Honor: Underground

During the credits, a 1940s-style song is played while pictures of WWII are displayed on screen. One of these is a picture of Mike Powell and what appears to be his regiment. In the picture you can see Mike Powell and also James "Jimmy" Patterson, the main character from Medal of Honor: Frontline, which had not been released at the time of this game's debut.

The US version of Medal of Honor is forbidden to be distributed in Germany because it contains symbols which are regarded as unconstitutional (e.g. swastika). For the German version the developers had to remove any appearances of swastikas. Usually, they are exchanged with an Iron Cross.

The map of Europe you can see in the main menu is not historically correct. There, Czechia and Slovakia are divided, Yugoslavia is dissolved, and Poland and Germany are in their current borders.

MOH:AA was named "Action Game of the Year" for 2002 by Computer Gaming World (225, April 2003).

Oddly enough, this game is NOT banned in Germany, and exists there in the same form as in the USA. It's extremely popular in Germany.

'Medal of Honor: Allied Assault' was featured on the cover of the February 2002 issue of Computer Gaming World, where is was billed as the, 'most intense WWII game ever.'

There is no blood at all throughout the game. EA / 2015 removed all blood so they could retain a "Teen" ESBR rating.

The Wehrmacht soldiers speak flawless German. If you understand this language, you may occasionally have a slight advantage, as you can anticipate the enemies' actions: "Er ist im Luftschacht!" ("He's in the air shaft!" - you have been discovered), "Mein Gewehr klemmt!" ("My rifle's jammed!" - the enemy is helpless), etc.

Already infamous is the game's ending: it has none. Final mission, "The End", credits.

"This game is dedicated to all the men, women, and their families, that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. You will always be remembered."
