Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Spearhead is the 5th game in the Medal of Honor series and is the first expansion pack for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. The game runs on Version 1.11 of Allied Assault (the final version). If the player doesn't currently have the version installed, Spearhead will install up to this point on its own.

It was included in the compilation CDs "Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Deluxe Edition", "Medal of Honor Allied Assault: War Chest" and "Medal of Honor: 10th Anniversary Bundle."

Missions[]

The player controls Sgt. Jack Barnes, a soldier in the 501st Regiment of the 101st "Screaming Eagles" Airborne Division. The game sees him paired up with British Paratroopers in Normandy, fellow 101st Paratroopers in Belgium, and aided by Soviet infantry soldiers in Berlin. There is a total of three missions in the game.

Operation Neptune (June 6, 1944)[]

In the early hours of D-Day, Sgt. Barnes parachutes behind enemy lines as part of Operation Neptune, the airborne counterpart to Operation Overlord. Unfortunately, his squad is scattered by German anti-air fire, stranding him far from his intended landing zone. Fighting and avoiding German patrols, Barnes attempts to regroup with other elements of the 501st, but instead meets up with three British paratroopers of the British 6th Airborne Division, and agrees to help them complete their mission.

The team encounter a Tiger I tank, which Barnes takes out with a German anti-aircraft gun. They proceed to neutralize and destroy two artillery emplacements, then track down and kill a Nazi officer (Col. Hildebrandt) in charge of the military operations in the area. Finally, they pick up a supply drop of explosives and destroy a strategically important bridge, preventing German supplies and reinforcements from reaching the beaches at Normandy.

Battle of the Bulge (December 24–25, 1944)[]

Barnes is sent to the Bastogne line in Belgium to aid 101st paratroopers being relentlessly attacked by German tank units and ambushes. He and a small squad of 3 men are sent behind enemy lines to hijack any possible enemy supplies and cripple any tanks and artillery in the area. After quickly disposing of several Nebelwerfers, and destroying several half tracks and tanks, Barnes and his unit come across a German supply camp and smuggle a supply truck filled with winter jackets, rifles, SMGs, and medical supplies back to their camp. Barnes and his squad barely make it to their frontlines with Germans pursuing them. Later that night, in response to the hijacked supplies, the Germans launches a surprise offensive in the night with a barrage of artillery strikes. With a Captain severely injured by one artillery shell, Barnes is ordered to find a medic and take him to the Captain. Barnes succeeds, but the artillery stops and several German platoons assault the camp, Barnes takes several squads and successfully deflects the attack. In the morning, Barnes and a large unit of 101st troops are sent to launch a counter offensive against the Germans that Christmas Day. Barnes and the team destroy several tanks, artillery guns, clear out a church and hotel filled with soldiers, and at the end of the attack, destroys a Stuka dive bomber using an AA gun.

The Battle of Berlin (April 30, 1945)[]

Barnes, under very special circumstances, is sent on a covert operation to help bring about the downfall of Nazi Germany at the hands of the Soviet Union. Barnes and a small squad of Red Army scouts quickly clear out the area surrounding a Bridge. Barnes, armed with sticky bombs and Soviet weaponry advances on the Reich Chancellary building and takes several documents pertaining troop deployment and where the strongest and weakest forces are in Berlin. Barnes sabotages vehicles, and tanks on his way to the Chancellary, and procures a captured T-34 tank a small squad of German soldiers found, and advances back to the Soviet scouts near the bridge. Suddenly, an American spy in Berlin (called Captain Monroe) warns Barnes and the Soviet squads (who are strangely now armed with a mix of Soviet and American weapons) to hold the bridge in Berlin in one final chaotic battle until Soviet Bombers relieve them of the Germans.
