Three years ago, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, the award-winning WWII shooter by 2015 and Electronic Arts, successfully introduced a new first-person shooter genre to the PC, quickly setting the standard for all others to follow with riveting combat, set-piece battles and Hollywood-style production values.

However, in Medal of Honor Pacific Assault, EA finally listened to the pleas and complaints of gamers, giving you the ability to lean and fire around corners from the relative safety of cover—a feature that initially was only available in Medal of Honor multiplayer.
