The Medal
of Honor Allied Assault Website (thanks Frans) has news that the Medal of
Honor Allied Assault Breakthrough add-on is gold. Word on availability is the WW2 shooter expansion will be storming store shelves on September 22. Here's a bit on
gameplay: "As U.S. Army Sergeant John Baker, players join the battle at
Kasserine Pass in North Africa, race to capture Messina in Sicily, and finally
repel the German army at the historic battle of Monte Battaglia in the heart of
Italy. Armed with a new arsenal of weapons, players will fight alone and with
squad mates as they rush to stop the Axis powers. The multiplayer game has been
enhanced with the addition of Liberation Mode. In this mode, defeated players
must be rescued by surviving teammates to continue the fight. In addition,
players can drive tanks, and minesweepers can defuse mines. Players can also
choose from American, British, Italian, and German skins in all multiplayer
modes."
Anyways, I wonder just how long (gameplay wise) this expansion will be, considering the previous one was a good three hours if you took it easy and did a lot of sightseeing.
I must have spent 6 hours spread over 3 days on it on Hard, due to all the QuickLoading. Still very short.
I have to agree though that assuming the devs really have limited resources, this "shorter but denser" approach works well for expansion packs. Granted, Spearhead took that to the extreme, but I would rather have it's fast-paced no-letup gameplay than a drawn out, lethargic experience with few points of interest to essentially wake me up (Q2MP2 by Rogue did this to me.)
From what I've read, Breakthrough is striving for some sort of middle-ground. The concept of participating in a "Forgotten Battle" also appeals to me in the same manner IL-2 : FB did. The only way this game could possibly dissapoint me is if I end up playing Half-Life 2 first
