WarningThis is a complete walkthrough for the Omaha Beach level of Mission 3: Operation Overlord, from Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. I strongly advice you to only use this walkthrough if you are stuck into some part of this level. It will take out all the fun and surprise of discovering by yourself what is going on on that level, how to find a way to the beach, how to survive that madness, how to make it to the trench. So, you have been warned and I have washed my hands of the spoiler.
This walkthrough will guide you from the disembark all the way to the trench. You'll be able to get to the trench with almost full health. This walkthrough was done for the HARD difficulty level. I have not tested it for the medium and easy levels.
Now, we need a legend. In the beach, there are two kinds of obstacles that you will use to protect yourself against the bullets: the ones in the form of an "X" and the ones with four legs, being three legs in one side of it and a longer leg to make the support of the obstacle. So, I'll call:
Important notice: the screenshots that are shown here are not the real ones that you'll be experiencing during the game; these screenshots were taken using cheat codes, from a higher position, to give you a better panorama of the field (of the beach) and so to make it easier to understand where to head to.
Shortcut 1: it is also possible to go from the XO at the end of step 8, where there is the first medic, directly to the XO at the right of the XO you'll get in the end of step 17, saving several steps (see the yellow alternate path). I found this path a little harder than the one in step 17, but even if you get to this XO without H100, soon there will be a second medic that can fill your health up; if you take this shortcut, next, head towards the XO where the radio guy is (end of step 18), if you want to hear him (just for the sake of it, because it makes no difference), or go directly to the end of step 19 and, then, follow the rest of the walkthrough normally.
Shortcut 2: Since I found no easy way to go from the second impact crater to the third one (step 30), you can try a good alternate path (I'd recommend) going directly from the 1st crater to the 3rd one, turning steps 29-30 into just one. To accomplish this, you must use the same techniques sync-move & stay-up-run-n-crouch, when in the 1st crater, and head directly to the 3rd one. The path to the 3rd crater is to pass between the same two sticks you'd pass in step 29 and between the same two sticks you'd pass in step 30. H80 !!
And don't forget to take a look at your medal case. You have a new one: the American Campaign Medal: for meritorious conduct in the Invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Lt. Mike Powell, 2nd Ranger Bn., survived the assault on Omaha Beach and went on to clear out a major German fortification, eliminating enemy gunners, and ultimately aiding in the securing of the D-1 exit near Vierville. Congratulations.
Last but not least: there may have other ways to optimize the path shown here, making the way from the disembark to the shingle with less steps or even taking other directions. I'll leave this task for you!
