You make very good reviews and very detail I have no idea why your subscriber base is so small. you make my review look like garbage in comparison keep up the good work. :)
You say "this was the last great medal of honor to date." I thought airborne was a lot of fun. Airborne plays very similar to this game and I feels airborne did a good job at expanding upon this game mechanics.
+Q.T. I like Airborne but it has some issues. It definitely could have been better. We did review it a while back. I think European Assault's biggest issue is its length. Way too short.
Airborne is a mess, the weapons accuracies are below decent, there are invisible walls/structure hitboxes near covers that prevents your bullet on hitting the enemy. Awful hud and hit directions feels empty, can't feel exactly why and where you're being hit especially while aiming with a scope and by the time you realize your health is at 1 bar already. Very buggy with tanks just stand next to it and you're dead. Unfair enemy ai they always know where you're sniping and start moving back and forth in every cover. The bazooka is the worst the rockets were slow af. The pros in it were the graphics and weapons upgrade that's it.
Back in the day I always hated Airborne, and thought European Assault was the best MoH game ever. It's been so many years since I've played them so I cant remember exactly why, but I just did not like Airborne at all.
In my youth another great game i played and the sound track was the best still the best ive ever heard, especially the menu music. And i also agree i wish it came out on pc but oh well.
I actually liked the reboot, 2010 MOH. It had flaws, yes, but I don't think it's as bad as you keep claiming it is. I never played the sequel, Warfighter(?) but I believe that one was the one that ended the MOH series.
I would also like a PC version of MOH European Assault. They should remaster some Medal of Honor games (European Assault, Vanguard, Frontline, Rising Sun)
I played this on the original Xbox. It was a strange game and didn't give me the MoH feel obviously because it was squad based. Graphics were quite dull at places. I just didn't connect to the game. Some missions were quite tough and that's the only thing I liked because you never remember games which didn't challenge you as a gamer. Last mission was quite tough and that probably was my favorite mission of all.
I miss playing this with my buddys as a kid, I bought frontline, rising sun and european assault to play on my xbox 360. Hoping they are backwards compatible on xbox one eventually
Good games are not the ones you can do easy frags and no scopes on. They are the ones you will tear up in memory of after 15 years and atill will be in your heart
I liked European assualt because it added 'Operation Chariot' or 'the St.Nazaire raid. The Greatest Raid of All Time. If you haven't watched the documentary with Jeremy Clarkson, go do so. All those men were Heroes on an impossible mission. Nothing but respect of them.
I never really cared for this game to be honest. I always felt that at this point that the developers were trying to make the series more "Hollywood" just to compete against the _Call Of Duty_ series, especially when considering how this game came out just months before both _Call Of Duty 2_ and _Call Of Duty 2: Big Red One_.
+Clayton Luce maybe that's true but I think all of the MoH games tried to capture that Hollywood feel. Although, I think it's open nature makes it stand out from CoD's linear gameplay. If anything, MoH 2010 was the one trying to compete with CoD in almost every respect and failed miserably.
I do agree about how each of the games in the series had that Hollywood feel, but it seems that EA LA was really trying to give it more of that feeling with a ton of explosions and the addition of the adrenaline meter. To me, all of that really made the game feel stale especially when considering how this series is about the realism and authenticity of fighting in World War II. As for the non-linear levels, it was rather different for a _Medal Of Honor_ game. BTW, are you ever going to review any of the other games in the series? I would love to see you review the first two games and even the reboot and it's sequel. Though I did like the last two games (please don't hurt me, XD), I would like to see in your opinion why they are awful.
+Clayton Luce lol. I review shit out of order. Bad, I know. I have MoH 2010, sadly. That's how I know it's bad. But I'll review it one of these days. I get into phases with games that's why I bounce around so much. If I get burned out I'd rather not continue and give a half-assed review. Ill just come back to it later at some point. I would love to review the originals and I do have them. I used to play Underground religiously as a kid. There's only 2 of us running all of GP so we can only do so much so quickly. But rest assured, reviews won't stop. They just take time.
It doesn't really have 4 campaigns, each map has it's sub-missions on another map. You had to play with Brits, Yanks, Partisans and Russians and it felt quiet long imo. If I remember st. Nazaire is divided in 2, Battle of the Bulge same, I don't remember the others hell I really miss the game.
It wasn't bad, but I think the revive system was unnecessary, the enemies deal an insane amount of damage to compensate for it and I think it was a bad design choice
Medal of Honor: Call of Duty. This was the first MoH that tried to ape CoD and definitely suffered for it. Still a good game and I played the shit out of (the soundtrack is amazing) but it lacks the polish and cinematic feel of its predecessors. I hope for a reboot one day with the return of Jimmy Patterson.
Honestly its a shame MOH didn't continue with the formula this game setup and Airborn expanded on. The series could've become somewhat open ended ala Far Cry 2 instead of trying to get in on that COD market. Hell even if they wanted to go modern military they could've still kept a more open ended style.
This game was sadly a major letdown for me, and I love the Medal Of Honor franchise with a burning passion. The biggest unforgivable issue here is that there is absolutely no save/checkpoint system at all, so you're forced to complete an entire mission from start to finish if you want to save your progress. If you die at any point, you have to do the entire mission all over again. This is a regression from Rising Sun, which had hidden field telephones that you could use to save your progress any time you wanted. The next biggest issue is the Revive and Medkit Systems. You earn Revives during a mission by completing side objectives, and these give you another chance if your health is depleted. You earn medkits and health canteens by finding them in the environment on the three lower difficulties, and for each squadmate that is still alive at the end of a mission. However, none of the total Revives and Medkits that you have accumulated throughout one mission carry over to the next one. This means that, on the two hardest difficulties, you can only start each new mission with, at max, one Revive for completing every single main and side objective in the previous mission, and three medkits for each squadmate who survived the previous mission. The hardest difficulty, Hero, is even worse since it completely removes all environmental health pickups. Finally, the last biggest issue is that you can carry only two weapons at a time, unlike the older games where you could carry every different type of weapon at once and swap between them depending on the circumstances. You don't even get to choose which two weapons you want before starting a mission, which can put you at a major disadvantage when facing close, distant, and armored enemies. I love to play games on the hardest difficulties, but all of the flaws previously mentioned, combined with enemies being able to instantly kill you in less than a second from great distances, created a cheap, unfair and infuriating experience. I was able to eventually complete the entire game on the second hardest difficulty, Veteran, which still gives you environmental medkits, but it was not a fun experience at all. After I finished every single level, I had to quit playing because the whole experience had left me completely drained. This entry is without a doubt one of the worst in the entire franchise, and I'm at least thankful that 2007's Airborne was able to make up for this.
I too, am disappointed with European Assault. In my opinion, name European Assault seems sacrilegious to the likes of games in the franchise like Allied Assault and Pacific Assault, especially when it comes to the graphics. What I think they should've done, was take the Pacific Assault gameplay formula, such as squad commands/calling for a medic, and add it into the European Theater of World War II. There you can fight as the First Infantry Division, from North Africa, all the way to Czechoslovakia, in kind of an attempt to 1-up Call of Duty 2: Big Red One.
Really love the game's campaign actually. I mean, it's bland story and set pieces and all that but the gameplay is really engaging. Squad mechanics are simple but cool. I dig it. Just wish it ran at more than 20 fps haha. Even on Xbox 360 backwards compatibility it runs like shit. It's pretty original gameplay and mission structure for it's time.
I dislike this video cause it feels like instead of reviewing the game you’re hating on it, dude this game was such a masterpiece that every time I played it I would just sit andlisten to the entire menu song
I’m going to get crucified but I liked the 2010 MOH game. Just the change to a modern era was nice. And one that wasn’t WWIII like the COD MW series. While that one was fun I did enjoy that the new MOH game was more grounded in reality of the early GWOT/OEF era. It’s follow up, I didn’t enjoy that one nearly as much.
I played this game back in the day. It was fun, but very mediocre. I was 10 at the time, but even then I could see its flaws. This game had some of the worst friendly AI I have ever dealt with. Squadmates would frequently rush into enemies and get mowed down by machinegun fire, and the game forces you to spend medkits on them (otherwise they die, and can't be revived during the mission). Plus, they would frequently miss grenades thrown and get the entire squad killed by accident by and explosion LMAO. And they couldn't hit anything. The story was alright, the last 2 MOH games didn't have a great story either. The graphics were pretty bad (compare it to COD Big Red One, released in the same year and had much better graphics). The missions were cool but also very annoying. I remember how I had to constantly throw grenades under the tanks to destroy them. Why couldn't the devs just let me use a bazooka like everybody else? When I had the bazooka, its ammo was just so rare. The game also had no memorable characters. The NPCs had no personality, the Axis nemesis you had to assassinate in each mission had no interesting backstory. There was only one named character that was important to the story and I can remember - it was Manon. But she wasn't developed. When you compare MOHEA to COD and Brothers in Arms you learn how bad the characters and the story were.
In terms of shooting mechanics, and overall level design it's probably the best moh game (apart from goldeneye like psx's moh games - which are by far my favourite). I love aiming model (that flexible cover system is amazing), I think that how they resolve health issue is great - you kinda have something in case of emergency, but still need to be always on your toes, plus adrenaline mode is also nice addition, especialy for "every bullet counts" moments. It lacks climat a little bit, visuals are meh due to very safe design (it doesn't have any distinctive feature). Overall it would be amazing to mix it with game like frontline or rising sun (I would love to play those with european assault mechanics.
This game will always hold a special place in my heart due to late night multiplayer session with my brother. Great video
I grew up playing all off the medal of honor games on ps2
I played this game with my dad back in the day. I'm 31 now and he's 60
This is one of my favourite medal of honor games
Same
You make very good reviews and very detail I have no idea why your subscriber base is so small.
you make my review look like garbage in comparison keep up the good work. :)
+SpeedWolf thank you. Much appreciated.
+Nolan Joseph James Flood thanks! Very exciting.
Why take sides when you can enjoy it all?

+Gaming Pastime I just learned about this channel so I'm going to check out your Airborne review. Thanks for replying!

This is a very good review. I really loved playing this game on my PS2 back in the day.
Subscribed. ;D
The intro menu music is something to sit and listen to. Amazing song.
I love the old WW2 Medal of Honor games. The soundtrack were peak for gaming!
You make awesome reviews man. Keep it up
+arhickernell thank you.
In my youth another great game i played and the sound track was the best still the best ive ever heard, especially the menu music. And i also agree i wish it came out on pc but oh well.
I played this game alot when i was younger...
You should review the Medal of Honor games set in the Pacific theater.
My favorite MoH game
The first MoH game i played
I actually liked the reboot, 2010 MOH. It had flaws, yes, but I don't think it's as bad as you keep claiming it is. I never played the sequel, Warfighter(?) but I believe that one was the one that ended the MOH series.
Leonard Wei You are correct Warfighter is the one that killed the series.
Moh 2010 was a hot mess. The campaign was a very very simple linier corridor shooter and the mutiplayer just always felt broken to me
@@acewolfgang276 isnt warfighter battlefield 3 but in a different time frame?
James Somogyi MOH 2010 felt like a beta version of BF3's shooting mechanics--like a hybrid between BFBC2 and BF3
Medal Of Honor European Assault & Vanguard are part of my childhood ❤
I would also like a PC version of MOH European Assault. They should remaster some Medal of Honor games (European Assault, Vanguard, Frontline, Rising Sun)
I played this on the original Xbox. It was a strange game and didn't give me the MoH feel obviously because it was squad based. Graphics were quite dull at places. I just didn't connect to the game.

Last mission was quite tough and that probably was my favorite mission of all.
this might seem odd, but thank you for saying German and not Nazi. most reviewers would be like Effing Nazi, Dirty Nazi. subscribe & like.
One of my all time favorites
One of the games i played as a kid i'm now 19 and looking at this is childhood :)
Excellent review. Thank you.
Awesome video i wanted to know if this runs Well on xbox 360 since this is one of the backward compatible with the 360
I miss playing this with my buddys as a kid, I bought frontline, rising sun and european assault to play on my xbox 360. Hoping they are backwards compatible on xbox one eventually
Good games are not the ones you can do easy frags and no scopes on. They are the ones you will tear up in memory of after 15 years and atill will be in your heart
Medal Of Honor Airbourne is awesome as well
I liked European assualt because it added 'Operation Chariot' or 'the St.Nazaire raid.
The Greatest Raid of All Time. If you haven't watched the documentary with
Jeremy Clarkson, go do so.
All those men were Heroes on an impossible mission.
Nothing but respect of them.
Wish Jeremy Clarkson would do more World War 2 stuff like going through different commando operations. That story about his father in law was amazing.
I do say the gun sound design is pretty good if slightly outdated. Also Thompson and the MP40 has their fire rates swapped lel
great review thanks
good review. i agree
Playing this on 360 looks alot worse than your footage , I'm assuming the emulation is to blame ??
I had such high hopes for this!Was hoping this would be Frontline on steroids....sadly reality was very grim
the multiplayers is so much fun like moh rising sun
Was this better than Frontline?
Any cooperative or Versus mode?
I never really cared for this game to be honest.

You should do a video on Call of duty finest hour/ big red one, two fine 6th generation ww2 shooters
Honestly its a shame MOH didn't continue with the formula this game setup and Airborn expanded on. The series could've become somewhat open ended ala Far Cry 2 instead of trying to get in on that COD market. Hell even if they wanted to go modern military they could've still kept a more open ended style.
If this had a pc version, the graphics would have to have looked wayyy better there
I have the game on the original Xbox but i can't play it beceuse there is somthing wrong with the disc
First shooter I ever bought

I can't help hearing "your peen assault"
Wheres the fucking bazooka man
no gore in Medal of Honor games way it war
Review Medal of honor vanguard
The multi-player on the GameCube version provided hours of split screen late night fun for my friends and I back in 2005-2006
European assault was better then front lines👩🏫
I grew up on this game the split screen multiplayer was so dope and I thought the campaign was really food
I dislike this video cause it feels like instead of reviewing the game you’re hating on it, dude this game was such a masterpiece that every time I played it I would just sit andlisten to the entire menu song
He gave it a positive review lol
