The problem is although there are plenty of new things to look at Spearhead is very predictable. They do indeed sound like a promising set of missions, don’t they? And even though they bare many similiarites to those of the original game, they feature a host of new characters and weapons as well as two new Allies to play alongside - the British and Russians. Here, among the rubble and up against the last remaining tanks and troops, you are sent to take part in the final battle outside the Reichstag building itself, where the Russians will raise the Communist banner to signal Germany’s final defeat. They know the Nazis have planned a desperate counterattack, spearheaded by their new Jadgtiger tanks and modified Panthers.Īfter the initial mission has been completed, our hero is then posted east to join the Russian forces as they encircle the shattered ruins of the Nazi capital, which Hitler has decreed must be defended to the last drop of blood.

The action then moves on to Belgium, where across the Ardennes Forest, US forces are taking a winter break before the final push into Germany. Of course since your other alter ego is waiting in the middle of the English Channel to wade ashore, Spearhead brings in a new member to the Medal Of Honor cast, Sergeant Jack Barnes, voiced by photo-fit Hollywood villain, Gary Oldman.

Instead of taking part in the D-Day beach landings, you begin the game just hours before, 1 as part of an Airborne Ranger mission set to parachute behind enemy lines and hinder the German supply routes, making sure that when I the hour approaches and the invasion begins, Nazi reserves are unable to respond. its Opposing Force?Īs with Half-Life's exquisite add-on, Spearhead introduces a new set of missions woven around those of the original game. If Medal Of Honor was the new Half-Life, it must surely follow that Spearhead would be. Its developer, 2015, has since been hailed as the new Valve and it was only right and proper that before a full sequel was undertaken, a mission pack would arrive to keep our spirits up during the long wait and perhaps raise the standard still further. It began of course with the release of Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault, and after three years of waiting, we could finally engage ourselves in a game to match the benchmark standard set by Valve Software’s Half-Life. It’s been a wonderful year for first-person action fans, one that has seen the standard raised a number of times across a whole raft of areas.
