This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault takes Saving Private Ryan into a video game with stunning graphics and a complex multiplayer. It was one of the best-selling games of 2002 and one of the first games in the Medal of Honor series to be released for Windows. The game had two expansion packs, Spearhead and Breakthrough, and three compilation releases.

To do: List the "tons of unused models", the dog level and a few unused sounds accounted in the talk page.

Cut Items

Battery

An item called battery was cut from the game. Its HUD icon, models, and code in items.src remain. Its purpose is unknown.

Spy Camera

Another item called spy camera has models, code for it in both items.src and inventory.txt and a placeholder HUD icon (see in unused graphics).

Flare Gun

The only remaining traces of this cut item is code for it in inventory.txt and models (no HUD icon).

Bratwurst

A very curious cut item (Bratwurst is a type of sausage). This item has code in inventory.txt and models. It's likely this was going to be a joke item. Also doesn't have a HUD icon.

Unused Level

This game has only one unused level that takes place in an open terrain. It features a bunch of dogs that are not seen anywhere else in the game. The level can be accessed by typing "maplist" and selecting "m4l0.bsp". But beware - if you go into the water, you will get stuck until you change the map.

Unused Code

SP Missions script leftovers

main\Pak5.pk3 contains mission scripts (.scr file format) using the MOH script programming language. Some commented out code can still be seen and activated.

The Rescue Mission (m1l2a)

Both Grillo and/or Powell were meant to use the silenced pistol in this level. Grillo do have some additional dialog lines for this.

Secret Documents of the Kriegsmarine (m2l1)

Powell was meant to use a cut item, the spy camera, to take pictures of the Naxos prototype plans from the german base in Norway (a similar feature was present in MoH: Underground). The spy camera behavior can be restored for this mission by uncomenting line 48 // $player item items/camera.tik from m2l1.scr and pressing the item key (binoculars/papers).

Omaha Beach, bunker section (m3l1b)

The mission was planned to continue after the bunker exit with a backfield section including bombing new objectives: Destroy the 2 20mm Anti-Aircraft gun emplacements, Destroy the FLAK 88 Artillery emplacement, Destroy the 15cm Artillery emplacement and Meet up at the rendezvous point. Both the captain and the sergeant from the previous beach section were supposed to follow Powell outside of the bunker.

Rendezvous with the Resistance (m4l1)

Manon was meant to have a dialog line at the end of the level in which she gives a silenced pistol to Powell.

Unused Graphics

Leftovers

Scattered in Pak1.pk3 are a few demo and console remnants.

• Demo button not present in the main menu.

• A picture detailing objectives and controls for the demo level.

• Part of the Options menu with PlayStation buttons... which is odd since the game never saw a console release.

Icons

The common folder in Pak2.pk3 is full of textures utilized by the Radiant map editor and the map compiler to determine surface flags and contents of brushes (collision, fog, etc.). Most of them are just words pasted over generic backgrounds.

Miscellaneous

• Some greyscale graphics. The first picture is also made up from two others.

Texture	Filename	Description
	item_camera.tga	A blank inventory display. The game chooses not to display anything instead.
	item_binoculars.tga	An inventory display for the binoculars. Same as above.
	weap_empty.tga	Unused icon for the weapons bar.
	deepbluesea_editor.tga	A blue/cyan checkerboard graphic.
	vehicle.tga	The word "Vehicle" written twice in a dark green background.
	ripple2.tga	A water ripple texture.
	TEST1.tga TEST2.tga	Two small color bars.
	test_color.jpg	Cream.
	test1.jpg test2.jpg	Clouds and whatnot.
	wdw4_noalpha.jpg	NO MASK NO MASK NO MASK
	allgrey.jpg	all-grey (x6)
	allwhite.jpg	All White (x5)

Additionally, norbasedoor.tga in Pak2.pk3 is a placeholder image that doesn't display correctly once extracted from the archive.

Unused Sounds

Unused Development Dialogues

Pak4.pk3 contains audio files for unused dialogues. It includes alternative variants of the dialogues, audio files with different actors, unused multiplayer and campaign voice lines.

Unused Companion Voice Lines

For the final mission, there are unused audio files for allied soldier, suggesting he was going to accompany the player in the latter parts of the mission, as well as an altered objective. One of the voice lines includes reference to Patterson, the main character of the original Medal of Honor, Frontline and Heroes. In the final game, instead of planting explosives, the NPC orders the player to release the prisoners and leaves the player on their own.

Blank Sound Files

In the root directory of Pak3.pk3 are two files labeled default.wav and temp.wav, which are blank.

Regional Differences

The German version removes a lot of unconstitutional imagery, due to Germany's stricter laws that prohibits Nazism in the media and teachings. Also, the dancing Nazi Easter egg has been removed.

(Source: Schnittberichte)

The German and the French version both feature a localized dubing of allied characters.

Developer Message

Inside Pak5.pk3\maps there's a file m3l1a.scr, which is a script file for the game's iconic Omaha Beach level, which includes a humorous quote list from the development team in the comments.

Anti-Piracy
