Medal of Honor has always been the pinnacle of WW2 shooters and I dont think the switch to modern warfare was a bad thing, but the classical Medal of Honor games simply have to return!
Frontline was an amazing game, combining stealth, action, humor and Indiana Jones-ish main hero with historical accuracy.
The story was great. You play as Jimmy Paterson, a member of OSS (Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor to CIA) and you are tasked with stopping a top secret nazi project nicknamed "HO-IX" or "HE-229" led by Sturmgeist, a high ranked german officer. You land in Normandy, destroy an U-Boat, parachute to Holland and become a part of Operation Market Garden, the biggest paratrooper operation in the entire history! and much more.
The gameplay and gunplay were very solid. You could use melee attacks with completely any weapon, the weapon sounds were high quality and you could carry one weapon of each kind. The weapons felt really well and the MG42s had a very realistic firerate, quickly moving down enemies. Enemies were challenging and the aiming was great even thought it was on PS2 with a controller.
The best part were the missions. They had stealth, sabotage, sniping and a lot of depth.
The easter eggs such as the message "the bread is delicious" when you eat a bread or silly moments like the fight between drunk German soldiers in Golden Lion or "Press ACTION to motivate Gerrit" just to push him from a balcony gave the game quite humorous and Indiana Jones-ish feeling.
On the other hand, sad and terrifying moments like a paratrooper getting sniped or the Dutch people being treathened by wehrmacht soldiers have really shown the horrors of war.
The soundtrack was amazing, composed by legendary Michael Giaccino.
This game was my childhood and it was simply a great game.
