If you’ve played other World War II shooters, many of the weapons should be familiar. You can swap out the weapons you’re carrying with others found in the environments and enemies will drop weapons and ammo when killed. You carry two weapons, grenades, explosives, and binoculars. You can actually turn the feature off if you want. The friendly AI is smart enough to deal with situations on their own so you don’t have babysit them which is not necessarily a bad thing but it would have been cool if the command system was more involved. However, you can only issue commands during combat and the game decides what commands are available to you and when. You can issue commands like cover fire, advance, fall back, and rally. There is a squad command system in Pacific Assault but unfortunately it’s very simplistic, limited, and I think it’s easy to forget the feature exists. You can pick up and carry injured friendly NPC’s, although the Corpsman will seek them out to help them on his own so it never really felt necessary unless an objective called for it. However, he can only heal you a certain amount of times per mission so you’ll want to be careful. If you’re low on health, you can call for a Corpsman to come over and heal you. If you turn on player bleeding, you can bleed from damage which means you slowly lose health and must apply a bandage to stop the bleeding. When you take damage, you lose health and you can acquire health from medkits found in the environments but they’re not located everywhere. You play as Thomas Conlin and can walk, run, crouch, go prone, jump, aim down sights, lean left and right, and perform a melee attack. Tommy is always accompanied by other Marines and they do have names, personalities, and the voice acting is alright but I don’t think the game does a very good job at fleshing any of them out. Pacific Assault does feel very cinematic much like its predecessors. Like most other Medal of Honor games, the story is just a way of letting players participate in historic World War II battles. And the final set of missions focus on his efforts during the Battle of Tarawa. Afterward, he takes part in the Makin Atoll Raid before being deployed to Guadalcanal. After boot camp, Thomas is present during the attack on Pearl Harbor and takes part in the defense. The story focuses on Private Thomas Conlin, a U.S. I played the GoG version and to get it running in widescreen, I would suggest you do what I did and check out the game’s PCGamingWiki page. Developed and published by EA, Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault was released for PC in November, 2004. The Pacific Assault in this collection is actually the Director’s Edition which features additional content. I didn’t have a PC that could run it very well when it came out and I didn’t acquire a copy until I nabbed the Medal of Honor 10th Anniversary collection which includes not only Pacific Assault but Allied Assault, it’s expansions, and Airborne. Mainly because it’s about the Pacific theater of World War II. I’ve wanted to play Pacific Assault for a long time now.
