Some missions are REALLY frustrating... although the 2nd expansion made it worse.

Anyway... this one is pretty okay. It adds a bit more to MOH, but the missions stay less remarkable than in the main campaign.

Played two missions. The first one was an escort mission, where your AI companions keep dying and failing the mission for you. The second also starts with AI companions, but they didn't die on me, so I dunno if they're vulnerable in that one. But there's a different problem there: I kept running out of health. Had to save-scum through it. In the original game enemies constantly drop health packs, but not here for some reason. I found a couple of big health packs hidden in a house towards the end of the on-foot portion of it. Then there was a turret section, which was just one of the worst turret sections I've ever played. You have to do EXACTLY what they tell you and you still keep dying. Your comrades shout: "panzer on 6", so you turn around and there's nothing there. You turn a little to the left and in a couple of seconds it comes out of the fog, except by then it's too late, it one-hit kills you. You have to destroy these tanks with a lightning speed somehow, preferably before you can even see them. Not to mention there's all these soldiers running around with rocket-launchers and grenades, and your shitty anti-tank gun only kills them when you hit them directly. They have no reaction to the shock waves.

Anyway, I couldn't finish that mission, even on the easy difficulty. I don't know how well the rest of the game is made, but the first two missions were so bad, I have no desire to find out.

Not much has changed in this. It's basically just more of the same but I enjoyed it a little bit more than Allied Assault. Particularly the Belgium mission which is a far better snow (and hazy) mission than the one in Allied Assault.
