Defend the Pacific!

User Rating: 9.2 | Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault PC
Like previous Medal of Honor outings, Pacific Assault puts your virtual fingers around authentic period weaponry. The arsenal includes 15 realistically modeled guns like the M1 Carbine, M55 Reising submachine gun, the Type 100 SMG, and the Model 44 Cavalry Carbine Rifle. Load out is still assigned on a mission-to-mission basis, and new weapons come into your possession periodically, with better hardware becoming available as years pass in the story. As you travel, you’ll also come across usable emplacements with fixed weaponry like heavy machine guns and mortars.

Pacific Assault has added basic team orders to the list of features, so you can coordinate with your squad. You are now able to tell your team to press forward, fall back, reassemble and give cover fire. These commands help in tight spots and can save your bacon if used properly. At one point I was working my way up a jungle river-bed when my squad got ambushed. The enemy was quickly getting the upper hand because we were out in the open while they had decent cover behind rocks and trees. I was able to tell my men to fall back, and by doing that, they were all able to find cover. Eventually, we drew the Japanese fighters to us and we walked out of there while they floated on down the river.

If you lose all of your health, you will pass out, making the world go blurry and gray. Death is not inevitable at this point, though. If a corpsman finds you in enough time, he can bring you back to consciousness and full health.
