![]() ![]() In fact, not only were medics fair game, but they were even targeted by Japanese snipers as a surgical way to defeat an enemy advance.Īnd the Japanese military didn't caper around with samurai swords, either. Since the Japanese didn't follow the Geneva Convention at the time, medics and hospitals were not safe from attack, and many if not most of these guys scratched their specialization emblem off of their helmets before they entered the battlefield. And judging by the meticulously re-created arsenal in Pacific Assault, your medic will be plenty busy. There won't be any handy health packs lying around this time, instantly boosting you back to full health. We'll be getting our own MoH take soon with Pacific Assault, though, and judging by the progress we've seen over the past year or so, this isn't just another MoH in a different part of the world.Īlthough you can check out our E3 2004 preview for the most recent nitty-gritty details, suffice to say that the major differences are dynamic enemy and squad AI, graphics and physics overhaul, and a deeper dynamic for getting yourself healed. However, only Rising Sun has explored World War II's Pacific Theater, and us PC gamers didn't get that one. As one of our WWII veterans put it, "If you shot anyone at more than fifty yards with a Carbine, you stood a great chance at pissing them off." In the two and half years since Medal of Honor hit the PC, we've seen no less than 18 other MoH games-the consoles, the GBA, the Mac, and a combo edition here and there. Hands down, the most accurate and easy to fire weapon I tested. I fired it non-stop on one of our research trips because it was so ridiculously easy to hit anything. The design was kept simple and allowed non-specializing contractors, like a jukebox company, to manufacturer the rifle efficiently. This Carbine was the most widely used rifle during the start of WWII, with more than six million being made. 30 Caliber M1 Carbine Rifle The Allies wanted a weapon to fill the gap between the M1911A1 pistol and the heavier M1 Garand and this was the result. Don't be surprised to see both the drum and more traditional clip in Pacific Assault. Having fired this one personally, I can completely understand it's effectiveness and confirm that the damage you've seen this sucker do in the movies… is accurate. Early versions were adopted by gangsters as their weapon of choice and it's popularity continued with officers even past WWII. No other allied smg could match the performance, capacity and reliability of this bad boy. M1928A1 Thompson Submachine Gun w/50 Round Drum Arguably the most famous submachine gun of all time, certainly for the era - the Thomspon was a marvelous weapon in WWII. It's a great weapon for up-close encounters, and its light weight allows the player to run at top speed. The pistol used two, three round 'half moon clips' to keep bullets from sliding out and increase reloading time. 45 Magnum Revolver This was the classic six shooter of WWII, a smooth and accurate weapon with a walnut grip. ![]()
