One of my favorite games ever, but you might need a new computer for it

This game is one of my favorite games of all time, I absolutely love this game, if you've got the money buy this game, although be warned that it does not run on any computers running windows 10, and there is absolutely nothing that you can do to change that, believe me, I tried, you're going to need a computer running Windows 8.1 or older

Enjoyable even now in 2008

I have only played a few military games (SOF, SOF2, and the COD4 demo), but I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent historical basis for this game. Being a Spielberg creation, this game had incredible music, not to mention an obvious tie-in to the movie "Saving Private Ryan". The play was enjoyable, consistent and smooth. Weapons were realistic and the sound effects seemed very true to life.

This game uses the excellent Quake III Arena engine. Though dated by today's standards, it still delivered good enough graphics to where I wasn't constantly conscious of anomalous renderings (such as bodies lying half way through walls, etc.).

The two additional expansion packs (Spearhead and Breakthrough) were as good as the main game and had some nice touches to the historical narrative between missions. After reading the reviews for the expansions I was expecting less, but again I was quite pleased.

After playing this I am now looking forward to the COD series, which I understand is similar to this.

Game will not run, buy at your own risk!

I loved this game years ago but have lost the cd's for it. A few days ago a clan I used to match against emailed me with the were reviving their server. Scrambled to find a new game.

DO NOT BUY!!! GAME DOES NOT RUN!!!

Game installs on PC. (win7) The serial number provided does work.

Then the problems arise. Patch CAN NOT find the game on the PC. I did some research. Game is supposed to install Keys in WinReg. It DOES NOT do so.

That makes it where the 1.11 patch can not install. No patch, no way to use win7 work arounds. No play.

Tried all web suggestions, run in admin mode, run in compatibilty mode, restart PC, plus other less known. Nothing worked.

I highly suspect that this is just copies of the games and not the real thing.

Needless to say I am angry and very disapointed.

UPDATE: Got it to work after changing some command prompt codes. Spearhead and Breakthrough Definitely do not work. Neither will open.

UPDATE: I cant seem to get the game to work. I run Windows 8.1 an I can change the compatibility settings to windows xp, but all it does is claim "Do you allow this application to make changes to your computer?" Then does nothing. I installed the game, but that's as far as I have gotten. Any help would be appreciated!

Package came in the mailbox, shipped undamaged.

The game codes are located behind the cd's as a sticker, if anyone's worried about receiving them. Have yet to install.

The product is entirely after-market (obviously). Cd copies are engraved and look just fine (not somebodies basement-burned copy) and they all come in one box.

GREAT GAME, BUT BE WARNED!!

Graphics are not the best, remember this was done around 2002, but strategy, scenario settings are terrific. For me it is more than sufficiently difficult. On your first attempts at playing, set the difficulty level at EASY (Hah, what a joke to even call it that). I like the "Sniper in The Rain" episode a lot, where you are at the edge of a bomb ruined town. To make sure that you get the rain effect, go to your starting screen for the game where you move your mouse around and will see OPTIONS, BRIEFING ROOM, LOAD/SAVE, etc. Select OPTIONS, and then select VIDEO. In that, then select WEATHER EFFECTS and put an X in the WEATHER EFFECTS check box, then go back to your games. It can be confusing where bullets are coming from when you are getting shot. Your Allied buddies behind you will many times shoot you in the back and sometimes the Germans shoot through walls and around corners! Got to Love It! I like this much more than COD. But......The disc marked BREAKTHROUGH is really SPEARHEAD and the disc marked SPEARHEAD is BREAKTHROUGH. The Allied Assault disc 1 and 2 go in the PC fine, I did get BREAKTHROUGH in, but not SPEARHEAD. It always says invalid CD key. I have tried every trick I could find, nothing works. The EA help is an absolute joke. Their chat channel is useless. Request a phone call back. I had 3 call backs before I could understand the "English" of someone. Note the people who got SPEARHEAD into their computer bought theirs several years ago. People who buy now will more than likely have trouble. Please email me through Amazon if you have a CD key for SPEARHEAD that is relatively new and will work. Some of my favorite scenarios are on that disc (I played it many years ago). EA should be ashamed for selling a set that does not fully work, I am not interested in their excuses (GameSpy is down...I don't care, I bought a SET and I NEVER play online). Still, the Allied Assault discs are enjoyable for many, many hours. PLEASE email me through Amazon with a valid CD key if you have one for SPEARHEAD. That is what stops me from giving it 5 STARS. Thank You,........John
P.S. If you have a hard time staying alive in the game, there are cheat codes out there that will keep you alive, search the internet for Medal Of Honor cheats and walkthroughs (the walkthroughs can teach you an awful lot you didn't know about).

I've been playing Medal of Honor Allied Assault since I was 8 years old, and had lost my discs somehow. I bought this collection and the discs work great, and apparently people still play online, too!

It's a wonderful game all in all, and it kind of lead to my obsession with WWII...

The codes were a bit hard to find, but I found the codes hiding under the right side of the case, under the second CD.
