Attack Its Weakpoint: As with the other depictions of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona is hit by a Japanese armor-piercing bomb, which detonates the forward powder magazine. Also when she sinks, the entire ship submerges under the water, which isn't possible because of how shallow Pearl Harbor is. In reality, the Nevada did indeed try and escape, but her crew was forced to deliberately run her aground to avoid her sinking in the channel and blocking the entrance to the harbor. The attack on Pearl Harbor sees the USS Nevada being sunk while trying to escape the attack unless the player manages to shoot down enough attacking planes. Artistic Licence – History: Downplayed.Artificial Stupidity: Most of your squad save for Sullivan, as the orders you shout to them hardly do anything.Sullivan, your squad's Corpsman, also counts, as he will always rush to your aid whenever you call for him or get seriously wounded, provided he still has supplies left.Japanese soldiers are capable of sneaking past and ambushing a player, complete with bayoneting them in the back.The game ends implying that they will be deployed again in a few months. And the Adventure Continues: Conlin and his squad manage to clear Tarawa, but all of them know that this island is just one stepping stone in the massive Pacific Theater of Operations.During the Pearl Harbor attack, Conlin briefly mans a pair of Lewis guns in a PT Boat's antiaircraft mount. Anti-Air: Several different anti-aircraft guns appear throughout the game, notably the American Bofors 40mm, Japanese Type 96 25mm, and American 1.1-inch "Chicago Piano." To a lesser extent, the M2 Browning machine guns, both air- and water-cooled, are also shown used in the anti-aircraft role, although most of the time they are relegated to use against infantry.Naturally, the soldier refuses to divulge information to him before dying. Almost Dead Guy: Minoso finds a wounded Japanese soldier during one of their patrols in Guadalcanal.It helps that Conlin is just a regular US Marine and not some elite OSS agent or a Resistance fighter. Actionized Sequel: Compared to previous titles, and especially Rising Sun, all missions are set in the heat of battle or at the frontline, with nary a Stealth-Based Mission seen.Action Prologue: The game begins with Conlin's account of the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943.Throughout the game, you'll take the role of Thomas Conlin, a regular US Marine, who along with his squad, takes on the fight against the ongoing Japanese military campaigns ranging from Makin Atoll Raid down to Guadalcanal and Tarawa Island campaigns. As a result, it has none of the Stealth-Based Mission elements of previous Medal of Honor titles, nor is The Protagonist of this game a member of the OSS Trapped Behind Enemy Lines. Unlike the former though, this one attempts a more realistic plot and focuses solely on the United States Marine Corps from start to finish. In this case, you play as Corporal Thomas Conlin, a Marine fighting in the Battle of Tarawa. And like that game, the player plays as a US Marine fighting against the forces of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy. Like Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, this game is set in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It was released for Microsoft Windows on November 4, 2004. This is indicated by the anti-aircraft fold-out wings on the rear sight and the full-length stock, both of which the Type 38 and Type 97 did not have.Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is the 7th entry in the Medal of Honor series. Note: In-game, it is called a Type 97 sniper rifle, but the model shows that it's actually a Type 99 sniper rifle based on the Type 99 short rifle in 7.7x58mm, not the Type 38 long rifle in 6.5x50mmSR. One of the unique features of the Type 97 that also appears in-game is that the 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka the rifle fires has no muzzle flash due to the small cartridge and the length of the barrel, making it difficult to do counter-sniping activity with a sniper using this weapon. The difference between the Type 97 and the Type 38 is that the Type 97 has a very sluggish rate of fire, a lighter stock, and a side-mounted telescopic scope. The Type 97 sniper rifle was basically an Arisaka Type 38 fitted with a side-mounted sniper scope. The only Japanese rifle without a bayonet, the Type 97 is used in the Lunga River mission to take out snipers hidden in the trees. Performing a melee attack with the spike-type bayonet. In-game, the M1911A1 is customized with bright wooden grips. It is also seen as one of the two primary weapons of the squad's Corpsman. The M1911A1 is available to the player several times during the game.
