Update: To clarify: this comes directly from EA's PR department, not some unreliable third party source. If EA says the game's gold, it is.
The game will be available in stores on January 22, 2002. Medal of Honor Allied Assault for the PC features over 30 levels of fully realized 3-D worlds in which the player must accomplish specific objectives and goals in order to succeed and advance.

Will have a new thread tomorrow for people to share impressions etc, since release threads are usually filled with "15K/S OMG!" and "I HATE THIS DOWNLOAD PAGE" etc.
We'll try and have a Fileshack mirror available as soon as we receive the demo. This'll be served from a different server so corruption should not happen.The demo level will be a Free-for-All deathmatch in the war-torn cityscape of Stalingrad. This is a level where standing in the open will get you killed in a hurry. While not the wide-open landscape of Omaha Beach, this level has some intense building-to-building fighting. We had a 20-player deathmatch going here on Friday and it was insane.
There will be 6 character models available, 3 Allied and 3 Axis. You can play as Manon from Medal of Honor Underground, U.S. Airborne, and U.S. Regular Army on the Allied side. As part of the Axis force, you can play as an Afrika Corps Private, a Wehrmacht soldier, and a Panzer tank commander.
All of the weapons will be available in the demo including the Browning Automatic Rifle, Thompson sub machine gun, MP40, Panzerfaust and bazooka. There is also a mounted MG-42 that players can man, however, without a buddy; you ARE vulnerable to sniper fire.
We do remember the four maps for the objective-based games. The one everyone knows is Omaha. After playing hours and hours and hours of the Wolfenstein counterpart (from the demo), we were really interested to see 2015's take on the experience. Overall, the Medal of Honor level is much larger both in terms of overall size and in terms of features. The craters in the beach are occasionally shelled -- a fact I discovered immediately after hoping into one to avoid the fire of German machine gun emplacements up in the bunkers. Bangalores are scattered about the beach for your breaching pleasure. But like in Wolfenstein getting to the top of the cliff is only a means to your true end, blowing up two massive guns. The charges must not only be placed but also defended from enemy disarmament.
It's official. The full retail version of Medal of Honor Allied Assault is scheduled to ship on January 22, 2002. Until then, gamers can get a taste of the action by playing the single player demo, which is available on Computer Gaming World's February demo disc or by pre-ordering the full game at Electronics Boutique or GameStop stores.

Maarten contacted EA so we should have some higher res shots of that demo level soon. Here are a bunch of our other MOH:AA screenshots.
