Medal of Honour Pacific Assault is being sold as a sequel to Medal of Honour. I could swear Pacific Assault was one of the addons for Medal of Honour, and not an upgrade. What am I missing? Is it really a sequel? a _better_ game (graphically)? ---

I thought the same thing you did Lob. I did notice that Pacific Assault is 50 bucks, unlike their other expansions. Maybe it is a standalone. Someone will pop in to set us straight. Lao ---

I believe it’s a sequel this time - it’s kind of an alternate PC version of the console game “Medal of Honor: Rising Sun”. Hopefully it’s a lot better, too. ---

I have Medal of Honor, and Call of Duty. Call of Duty seems much better. I just finished the first expansion pack for it. I’m not sure what the difference is - the engines are similar, but Call of Duty is just put together better, IMO. Is MoH Pacific Assault a better game than the original, or is it just another scenario? Anyone else think Call of Duty is superior? ---

Oh yeah. Call of Duty is miles ahead of MoH. I was astonished at least twice during CoD and MoH (which I’m playing now) is good, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not as good. ---

From what I’ve played of CoD, I didn’t notice a gigantic difference in gameplay, but I did like the more intelligent AI. I’m interested in seeing how the console version is.
