Complete walkthrough for Mission 1: Lighting the Torch in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Includes objectives, strategies, and tips for infiltrating the village, rescuing the agent, and sabotaging German operations in Algeria.
Walkthrough
- 1Infiltrate the Coastline: You begin by infiltrating the Algerian coastline. Your squad will use captured German Opel transport trucks to reach a shoreside village.
- 2Assault the Village: Quickly take control of the village and eliminate any sentries to prevent them from warning Arzew. You will be in the first truck as part of the assault team. Captain Richards commands the mission, with Lieutenant Powell as second in command. Pay attention to your ammo; the M1 Garand requires firing the entire clip before reloading.
- 3Rescue the Agent in Arzew: After an incident at a checkpoint, your squad is lost, but the mission must continue. The agent's last known location is near Arzew, a town built around a German-occupied desert fort. If captured, he's likely being interrogated. His exfiltration plan involves destroying the 88mm guns covering the harbor.
- 4Locate and Free the Agent: Find the agent, who is a Major. He will assume command upon rescue and knows the territory and escape routes. Cover him and follow his orders.
- 5Sabotage the Motorpool: After destroying the 88mm guns, you need to disrupt German troop mobility. Find Opel transport trucks in the port facilities and disable their engines with wire cutters. Destroy Panzer and Tiger tanks with radio bombs and any munitions caches.
- 6Destroy the Radar Station: Your final target is a cliffside radar tracking station that directs coastal gun batteries. Drive towards it in a jeep, manning the .30 cal machine gun. Destroy a squadron of Stuka dive-bombers at the nearby airstrip and any other targets.
- 7Enter the Radar Station: Shoot out the controls of the radar equipment inside the station.
- 8Activate the Lighthouse: Head to the seawall and fight your way to the lighthouse at its end. Activate the lamp to signal the fleet.
- 9Rendezvous for Extraction: Meet Major Grillo at the foot of the lighthouse for extraction. Be cautious, as German forces are hunting you and you are outnumbered.

- Prioritize destroying the 88mm guns and the radar station as they directly impact the fleet's advance.
- Use wire cutters on truck engines and radio bombs on tanks for efficient sabotage.
- Be aware of your surroundings and the enemy's numbers; choose your engagements wisely.
