Medal of Honor: European Assault

The follow-up to Medal of Honor: Rising Sun returns the action to the European Theater, along with North Africa and Stalingrad.

Overview

Medal of Honor: European Assault is a first-person shooter in the Medal of Honor series, developed by EA Los Angeles for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox.

The game consists of 4 chapters, each comprising several missions. The chapters were based in the campaigns in northern France, North Africa, Russia (Stalingrad), and Belgium (the Battle of the Bulge) against the Nazis. The player takes control of William Holt, an American officer assigned with the British SAS. Holt commands his own squad (usually 3 men) and the player can give orders to these AI-controlled soldiers.

In each mission, the player can collect intel and complete bonus objectives in addition to the main objective. There are also mini-bosses, which can optionally be killed to fulfil a bonus objective. Completing certain actions, including headshots, melee kills, boss kills, bonus objectives, kill streaks, ect. fills the player's Adrenaline Meter. When the Adrenaline Meter is full, it can be activated to gain invincibility, unlimited ammo, and (with most guns) no reloading for a limited time.

The player's performance is rated at the end of a mission, based on the number of primary and bonus objectives fulfilled, the number of intel documents found, and the number of surviving squadmates. A bronze, silver, or gold medal will be earned, each granting a higher number of continues for the next mission, and each surviving squadmate earns the player an extra medkit.
