As to the Wermacht, the weak point to this game is the snow, the Ardennes forest stage has no autosave feature and the quicksave doesnt work. Other snow bugs are:
-1 out of 2 times planting the sticky bomb on the first array of artillery stalls the game, forcing to quit.
-The mountain top stage slows the game to a point can not be played at all. That happens even with the video and advanced options at minimum. Even playing in a 1 Gb RAM machine.
The sound, the graphics, the play is superb, but dying from bugs is the worst thing can happen at any war, even a digital one.
I would prefer to play this game in the PS2. The MOH Frontline is the best game I ever played. And I didnt find any bugs at all.

I don’t have this version. I’ve got the one on Windows XP, and it runs just fine. I’d suggest you all buy that version instead. The only conundrum is, there was this time where you’re in a snowy level and all these bombs start hitting, and you can only walk around for about ten seconds before more bombs smash the area, so you have to hide in a fox hole or a pit of dirt with a tent over it, and then there comes a time when you just can’t do anything after that. The game froze up and bunged completely, taking me back to the desktop, so when I loaded it back up again, the graphics had gone from splendid, to blury and pixilated like the earlier MOH sports meeting. I’ve never made it past that point. But still, you’d be better off getting the version I got ’cause it doesn’t have any problems besides the one I mentioned. The gameplay is just fine, and the terrible guys in fact die when you shoot them. The bullets don’t just bounce off them like in Linked Assault and Breakthrough. Those are the other two I’ve got besides this one, so I know which ones are better than others as far as graphics. This is the best one in that area. So stay away from the MAC version, buy the Windows XP version, and that’s a wrap.

This is a excellent add-on to Linked Assault, but you probably shouldn’t try it unless you have the hardware to handle it. I first tried Spearhead on a G4 with 768 MB RAM, and eventually gave it up in frustration. In some levels (particularly the one that has you riding around on the top of a truck), the frame rate slowed down so much to make the level impossible.
But, I’ve recently gotten a G5 with 1 GB RAM, and tried Sprearhead again. This time, the computer was able to handle the graphics nicely, and I was finally able to beat that level, although it was still really tough. I found that the later missions (defending the frontline, and infiltrating Berlin) were quite fun.
All in all, a worthwhile buy if you are not frustrated by slow performance.

Medal of Distinction: Linked Assault Spearhead is an expansion pack to the well loved Linked Assault. It requires the original game to run.If you played it on PC, you’ll be pleased to know everything runs, looks and plays the same.
Spearhead is a fun FPS. It is set in World War II, right where Linked Assault left off. But, Spearhead doesn’t seem to be as splendid as the first. For one, there is not anything like the Omaha Beach scene from the first. A lot of the levels here, while fun, in fact seem a bit bland. Secondly, some of the levels can get frustrating.
Graphically, Spearhead is excellent, but looks a tad dated. There are no improvements from the first game, which was splendid for its time. But, there are some irritating problems with the framerate, especially in multiplayer. The sound effects are brilliant, and music is excellent.
By and large, Spearhead is a excellent FPS, but the first Linked Assault was better. But, the online mode is fun, and the release player mode is still worth playing owing to. Worth buying, but it is not a classic.
