Medal of Honor Pacific Assault

Hello fellow Cyberspace, Today I want to talk to you about another video game, Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault.  I’m speaking from my experience playing it and will give you a detailed analysis.  I will also tell you a little story that develops throughout the game.  I will help you get organized and learn some details about some tricks that I’ve devised for you.  Without further ado, please proceed to read about my experience, take in my analysis, learn about the history of the game and finally get some information on tricks you can use when playing Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault.  I know you’ll enjoy it.

•     Note

Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is a video game involving a first-person shooter.  The game was first developed in 2004 for the Windows platform.  This game is the seventh in the Medal of Honor series.

•     Analysis

The first things you’ll notice if you’ve been playing the entire saga are the improvements that have been made.  The graphics are more realistic and almost never freeze up.
Another very impressive improvement is that this game has 4 levels of difficulty, 3 classic (easy, moderate and difficult) but they have also added a more realistic level.  This level is very different from the other 3 levels in that the screen will not show you the number of those still alive or how much ammo you have left.  This makes it far more realistic and more difficult to navigate.
For you do not shoot your teammates a symbol appears on their heads.  You must save the lives of your companions in this game.  You will get some training classes which teach you about these things, but when you get into playing, the game will remind you.

•     History

In Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, the player assumes the role of Private Thomas Conlin.  He is a United States Marine assigned to the Pacific Theater in World War II.  The various levels include the attack on Pearl Harbor, the assault on Makin Island, the Guadalcanal Campaign and the Battle of Tarawa.

The visuals are seen from a first-person perspective, with the exception of one level in which the player pilots a Douglas SBD Dauntless in the middle of a dogfight.  The action in this game starts at the beginning of the war with military training and the attack on Pearl Harbor (1940 – 1941).  The game ends with the Battle of Tarawa (1943).

In the Prologue, the game starts with the assault on Tarawa and lasts until Granada is reached.  The protagonist begins to have memories of what he went through beginning with his training as a Marine 2 years prior.  After that, we go off to Hawaii where we are assigned to the USS Arizona.  But the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor and before they reach us we do everything possible to defend ourselves.

Now that the war has started, you are assigned to the 2 nd Battalion Raiders, where you meet up with friends from training camp.  Your first mission is to make a night assault on Makin Atoll.  When you’ve successfully completed this mission and taken it to Guadalcanal, you find yourself fighting fiercely against the enemy.  The final mission is in Tarawa.

•     Missions and Objectives

•     Tarawa Forward

When you disembark on the beach at Tarawa with six other Marines you are facing the Japanese who are there too.  You fall and hurt yourself and when listening to the voice of a drill sergeant you start remembering and the missions begin.
My advice for success:  Remember that in this mission you have to be hurt otherwise you cannot begin the game.

• Mission I – Camp in San Diego, California

At camp you are going to know your teammates: Frank Minoso – gunner, Jimmy Sullivan – doctor, and Willy Gaines – an expert with a rifle. You’ve got to devise a workout in which you familiarize yourself with all the controls of the game.
My advice for success:  You need to practice a lot and use the commands for talking to your partners.

•     Mission II – Pearl Harbor, at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

You have been assigned to the USS Arizona and as your lieutenant takes you to the ship, the Japanese attack. You need to get into a patrol vehicle as you are under fire from enemy aircraft. Once inside the patrol vehicle, you must defend yourself from the Japanese planes. You proceed to the USS West Virginia to help keep it from sinking and to rescue sailors. Finally, your mission becomes attacking and destroying the remaining aircraft from the deck of the ship.
My advice for success: Although it’s not required as part of the game, you can go about finding wounded soldiers, pick them up and take them to the hospital as a personal mission.

•     Mission III – Night Maneuvers at Makin Atoll, Kiribati

Disembark with the goal of destroying Japanese communications, without being discovered. After getting through a forest, a swamp, and a small town you finally come to the radio tower, which has to be destroyed.
My advice for success: During this part, the most important thing you can do is to move slowly, and look at the tops of the palm trees for snipers.

• Mission IV – Man wounded at Makin Atoll, Kiribati

Your mission is not over as you must now destroy a Japanese fuel tank. At the end of this part, you will find a pilot who has been shot while being stalked by the Japanese. Fortunately, you arrive in time, have Jimmy take care of him and you get out of there before the Japanese arrive.
My advice for success: This mission is very difficult and I recommend caution. You must try to get to the injured pilot as soon as possible and then defend the position using the rocks as a shield as they’ll come and attack you from behind.

•     Mission V – Easy Prey at Makin Atoll, Kiribati

When you’re making plans to leave the island, you are prevented from doing so by mortar fire. You must neutralize the attackers. You’ll also have to rescue Willy before you can return to the boats. When you reach the submarine, you will be attacked by aircraft. You will destroy them by firing torpedoes at them, saving the crew.
My advice for success: This mission is extremely difficult and it’s easy to run out of ammo and expose yourself to enemy fire. When the rescue party goes after Willy it’s difficult because it can cost him his life. The Japanese might win if you cannot save the submarine in less than 4 tries. But don’t worry, it took me 5 attempts.

•     Mission VI Airfield Henderson (Guadalcanal) Solomon Islands

You arrive at Guadalcanal. Your mission is an internet jungle to end Japanese outposts: tanks, scouts, cannons, machine gun nests, trenches, ... At the end, you go back to the airstrip Henderson Field attacked by the Japanese. You must protect the airfield banzai attack. After cleaning stores and tracks, you run into flak. You have to protect the hangars and protect the "Black Cat" when landing.
My advice for success: is chaos and you have little time to think this mission is very difficult hard, remember that you taper a kind of Japanese cannon to defend against tanks.

•     Cerro Mission Bloody VII (Guadalcanal) Solomon Islands

But the Japanese do not surrender easily. In the three hills surrounding the airfield, a fierce defense by the marines, in which you will take part, will be held until the end.
My advice for success: I just hope you like it as you have violence here and much, is super difficult and time may come when you get tired.
Lunga River Mission VIII (Guadalcanal) Solomon Islands
You and your squad come across the Lunga River, finishing with Japanese patrols. Finally, you destroy several ammunition depots, before finishing with a dangerous sniper, and eliminate the forces of the marshes.
My advice for success: the swamps are very difficult attacks have surprises everywhere plus machine gun nests are very difficult to destroy.

•     IX Mission Flying Boys (Guadalcanal) Solomon Islands

Destination: Tarawa. But your plane will not be all laughs: the Japanese attack you. Things get ugly when you have to leave your post scorer to take the control of the airplane after the pilot parachute jump. But then you control the enemy squad. Your next target is a small island full of Japanese. After finishing with planes, boats and radio antenna, you go to your fleet. But I smack into a destroyer and Japanese aircraft carrier, you must sink with you and your four torpedo bombs. After long adventures, you land on the USS Independence.
My advice for success: This is for me the hardest part, remember the best way to drop the bombs and give the target is dare to port or starboard as in the tower of the boat landing is harder it seems.

•     Mission X Tarawa (Tarawa) Kiribati

You go through the entire beach, with the aim of destroying the enemy forces in the defensive half.
My advice for success: you've made it to the last mission congratulations, but this mission is very difficult I recommend that advances in zigzag, and you have to destroy many nests of guns donor strafing and eliminate many Japanese advanced units, or I forgot all this have to do what the Japanese trenches crossing the beach ... just what I want you to imagine that, if you think this sounds difficult to reach expected hill where that damned hill is a piece of hell.
