Spearhead is a British far right-wing magazine edited by John Tyndall.
In the light of this, along with the very much more 'hardline' opinions carried by the publication, which were not considered to be in line with current BNP thinking, the BNP consequently decided to prohibit the sale of Spearhead at BNP meetings.
A former editor of the magazine (of which Spearhead has have several, in addition to Tyndall himself), until his retirement in 1980, was Richard Verrall, a noted Holocaust revisionist and then National Front ideologue.

Spearhead is the expansion for EA and 2015's World War 2 shooter, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and it adds a new single player campaign and lots of new stuff for the multiplayer game.
Spearhead's graphics are about as good as they were in Allied Assault, and while the original game's visuals were great almost a year ago, they are a little lacking now.
The biggest problem here is that the game is simply way too short; I finished this thing in under four hours, and while there were plenty of new weapons and other bits and pieces, the short single player mode didn't put them to much good use.

 IGN: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Spearhead Review
Spearhead is, after all, the awaited and currently debated expansion pack to what was one of the first and still best action games of 2002.
Spearhead largely does away with these troubles and instead tries to focus on the parts of Medal of Honor that gamers most fondly remember.
It doesn't help that Spearhead seems to suffer from even worse performance issues than Medal of Honor did before it, at least in singleplayer and heavy multiplayer bouts.

Spearhead has plenty of moments like this, moments of tension where you have to act quickly or you will be acted upon.

 Featuring Medal of Honor: Spearhead Review at ActionTrip
The maps in Spearhead are so claustrophobic and linear, the action is so ridiculously scripted that you feel like you’ve been stuck in some kind of amusement park where robots play out their roles as you’re simply left to watch the groovy effects and enjoy the ride.
It’s the same with soldiers in Spearhead that were put there to run aimlessly at you while you’re supposed to perform some kind of task.
Granted, some of the intense action scenes in Spearhead are spectacular to watch, and rather fun to play, but just as you start to get into the groove you realize how simplistic your task and the actual gameplay routine really are.
