Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is a game developed by EA Games as part of the Medal of Honor series for the PC. The newest edition puts the player in the role Pfc. Tommy Conlin, a U.S. Marine in the Pacific Theater of Operations in World War II. It also uses the Havok physics engine. Levels include Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, and Tarawa Atoll.
The game has been released worldwide, with both a standard CD edition along with a special Director's Edition DVD, which includes some bonus features and historical movies.
The game has been met with some frustration by gamers for its high required specs (only people with 1.5 GHZ computers and a DirectX 8.1 compatible video card can play the game) and the frustration of repetitive gameplay and bugs that cause enemy soldiers to appear out of nowhere in plain sight of your character.

Multiplayer
Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault will ship with eight multiplayer maps, three modes of gameplay, and four combat classes. The eight multiplayer maps are:
- Airfield - Axis forces have landed in the jungle and made their way along a streamside trail to an Allied airfield that has been carved out of the jungle.
- Bataan - Allied forces must neutralize the gun emplacements defending the tunnel system dug into the hillside.
- Bougainville - A Marine division has landed on the west coast of Bougainville at Empress Augusta Bay and is fighting to establish an inland beachhead.
- Bridge - Axis forces are rushing to destroy a strategically important train trestle in the jungles of Thailand.
- Gavutu - The historic battle for two small islets near Guadalcanal that took place on August 7th, 1942.
- Gifu - It is January, 1943, and General Alexander Patch, commanding U.S. XIV Corps, has resolved to push the Japanese from Guadalcanal once and for all.
- Matanikau - The Allies are tasked with the destruction of an Axis gun emplacement near the Matanikau River and the establishment of a patrol base on the north end of the valley, west of the river.
- Wake Island - A small band of U.S. Marines defend Wake Island from invading Imperial Japanese Navy.
The three modes of play are:
- Free for All - classic every man for himself action
- Team Deathmatch - a competition for a higher kill count, with the Axis vs the Allies
- Invader - for each particular map there will be 3 or 4 objectives that the defenders have to protect against the invaders. As each objective is taken the defenders fall back to the next objective and the attackers advance. Some objectives need to be blown up by the engineer class, some objectives need to be occupied for a set amount of time by the attackers. If all the objectives are taken before the round is over, the attackers win. The Axis are the attackers in Airfield, Bridge, and Wake Island; on all the rest the Allies are the attackers.
The four combat classes, supported in Team Deathmatch and Invader mode are:
- Infantry - 25% more health
- Corpsman - medic class, able to heal and revive downed allies
- Engineer - equipped with explosives for getting through objectives in Invader mode, and the ability to place and detect landmines
- Ammo Tech - able to carry two primary weapons, a satchel charge and place ammo supply boxes to replenish allies ammunition
