... which isn't exactly a bad thing. I loved Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Spearhead was short but fun, but with this the second expansion pack, the game play is looking and feeling a bit dated. (One look at Ghost Recon and you can see how behind MOH is.) The enemies are very stupid and, at some point, you begin to wonder how you have single-handedly plowed through hundreds of Nazis and Italians. I've been playing on the hardest level and you have to conserve ammo in a big way. There's just barely enough to do the job.
The addition of the multiplayer "liberation" game is nice. But my frame rates are lower with this expansion.

This expansion has some clever additions, new weapons and vehicles, new terrains and all...I was really looking forward to this, but I gotta say, it was buggy, froze up at a couple of points where I had to enable the 'maps' cheat to advance beyond...had to crank down the visuals to baseline to succesfully run it....very disapointing (I am running a single proccesor G4 @ 1.25 mghtz and over a gig of ram, not the biggest out there but no slouch either.) 10 bucks for the pc is one thing, but 25 bucks for the mac...put it this way, if I had to do it over again, I would get Call of Duty for twice as much and I think, enjoy more gameplay for the dollars. I will have to think long and hard about buying any future additions to this franchise.

Allied Assault was a great game. Fun missions and good gameplay. Graphics were pretty good for its time. Spearhead was going downhill but still enjoyable. Breakthrough however, is utter crap. No graphic improvement, minimal weapon improvement, and it still seems like one man is defeating the whole Axis army. Call of Duty is a much better investment.

I played a Beta version of this game and, true to the Medal of Honor form, it is wonderful. I mostly played it on a LAN network with about 10 people, and didn't get to sample the missions much, but from what I see, it looks great!

Disappointed with this one, the first MOH was great and got me into all these WWII games (Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc..). But something was missing from this? Hope this helps!
