Medal Of Honor: Ranking The Series From Worst To Best

3. Medal Of Honor: European Assault

So we come to the top three of the countdown. Here, I chose to slot in the 2005 release European Assault. Interestingly, the game's story was written by John Milius, the writer of Apocalypse Now. The plot is based on Lieutenant William Holt, an operative in the Office of Strategic Services, and follows his deployments to Allied forces in France, North Africa, the Soviet Union and Belgium. The game was well received, with an average metacritic score of 73/100 on the Playstation 2. The game added in several new innovations such as Adrenaline Mode, activated by killing numerous enemies or scoring headshots, which allowed the player to be invincible and have unlimited ammo for a short period of time. Also, the added challenge of killing a specific German officer is present in every mission, providing the nearest thing to boss battles the series had seen. A special mention must go out to the section of the campaign set in Russia, and specifically the soundtrack that accompanies it. The setting of Stalingrad provides a truly haunting backdrop to Christopher Lennertz's compositions.
