Medal of Honor: Breakthrough

Since Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault isn��t scheduled to ship until early 2004, EA is hammering together another add-on for Allied Assault to keep your trigger finger warm. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault��Breakthrough will be set in the European theater from 1943 to 1944 and will feature 11 new single-player levels in locations ranging from Kasserine Pass in North Africa, to Messina in Sicily, to the battle of Monte Battaglia in Italy.

The game will have nine new multiplayer maps, including the monastery at Monte Cassino, the streets of Messina, and Anzio Beach. A new multiplayer mode entitled Liberation will require captured teammates to be rescued in order to continue the fight.

The last MOH add-on, Spearhead, was a rocket ride that didn��t last long. Here��s hoping Breakthrough will be just as thrilling but offer a little more game for the money.
