Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

MoH: AA is more realistic in nature than RtCW, and even has Steven Spielberg listed in the game's credits as it draws heavily from the movie "Saving Private Ryan.""

    I don't know how long I'd be able to keep playing a game that made me sit through five minutes of my character lying in blood and entrails yelling "MAMAAAAAAA!!!!" every time my health went to zero.

      Yeah, that shit's not funny.

      What would have been funny is if the germans had started making sweet, sweet love with the exposed large intestines of the fallen allied soldiers.

      Why don't any modern video games use this obvious and excellent theme?

    The original didn't run on your 386 either.

    It'll be that intake fan that changed the gameplay for you. Try changing it for a Papst, and the game will feel a little more atmospheric. *rolls eyes*
