Medal of Honor Underground is still one of my favorite shooters ever. Loved being a resistance fighter/OSS spy. They also lean into the absurdity, there's one mission called Dark Camelot where you infiltrate a nazi castle Wolfenstein-style (Wolfenstyle?) and fight dudes in suits of armor. It's great.

They always kind of run out of steam towards the end and hurl tons of hearty enemies at you. I still do replay Airborne every once in a while though because I dig how its levels and upgrades work. Twerk from Home posted:I'm curious to hear if Call of Duty holds up. I have really, really fond memories of Call of Duty being great, and played a good amount of the multiplayer. I recently finished up my goal of playing every mainline campaign up to Vanguard, and CoD 1 is a mix. Some missions, mainly the American ones, hold up pretty well. The British SAS missions are still boring as ever. The Russian missions tend to start out okay but get really slow towards the end. There are exceptions, of course, but I definitely don't remember the game being so lifeless at certain points. I hate to be that guy, but United Offensive really does hold up well save for a few missions.

That mission in MOH AA with all the snipers hiding in the town really pissed me off and all the walkthroughs I could find at the time were really vague about where they were hiding. Probably wouldn’t phase me much now as an adult who has played thousands of hours of FPS games since then, but I hated it at the time.

Yeah my experience with Breakthrough was that it immediately goes to poo poo after the first Africa segment. AA and Spearhead both hold up well but I've never finished Breakthrough. The last time I tried I got stuck with an unwinnable save state where I didn't have enough ammo to kill the enemies the game was throwing at me and it wasn't dropping any more ammo for me.

Like I’m at the end of the game where you’re in an armored rail car with a turret and cannon, and that’s great for killing enemies, but despite being in an enclosed armored car you take full damage from enemy bullets.

I still like CoD1 and United Offensive. I replayed them last year with some widescreen tweaks and still put them on top of the CoD single player experiences. As for MoHAA, I love it but that sniper mission that can go to hell. It does help having more experience to make it less painful but it's a hitscan hell. I never enjoyed much of the expansions. MoH Airborne was a mixed bag for me. I liked the first part of the game letting you drop wherever and tackle the objectives but the last part is godawful. I rather play MoH Pacific Assault and still wasn't great. It's easy to see the quality of MoH games dropped after MoHAA as Infinity Ward left EA to make Call of Duty.

I haven't played Airborne in ages but I remember having a lot of fun with its upgrade system. Pacific assault is another one that I never finished; got stuck on same airport level I think? It's been a while.

For Pacific Assault, grab the GOG release. Otherwise is kinda lovely to run (original release at least).

Pacific Assault is weird. I like how everything's organized and the missions feel cool and distinct, but it controls like mud.

Xenomrph posted:The game is pretty fun until the second Italy section (final third of the game), then the game rolls out the bullshit and nosedives. It's been a long while since I last played MoHAA, but I remember having the exact opposite problem where I loved Breakthrough but couldn't get into Spearhead. I should go back and play them again. Guillermus posted:MoH Airborne was a mixed bag for me. I liked the first part of the game letting you drop wherever and tackle the objectives but the last part is godawful. I rather play MoH Pacific Assault and still wasn't great. I loved Airborne, I didn't have as much issue with the last levels as other people I guess. But the freedom to drop in the early levels, loving loved dropping onto a roof and then popping in through a window to surprise some Nazis from behind. I remember mostly liking Pacific Assault, but I can never go back to it because I hated that level where you have to fly a plane so loving much. And worse, the controls were inverted and I spent so long trying to get past it that then when it throws you into the final level, I had to readjust myself to the actual controls. Just the worst.

My biggest complaint about Airborne is entirely my fault in that the game becomes difficult towards the end because I become obsessive about upgrading every single weapon to maximum instead of just picking a few I like and sticking to them.
