Buy this!, Jul 22, 2023 First, let me say that I had no problems running this game on my G5. Make sure you have good hardware and the latest updates and patches and you won't have any bug issues or frame rate problems.
This is an excellent game. I bought, in quick succession, all three parts of MOH for Mac. I will replay all three, too, probably several times. You get all sorts of new things in here that will please the MOH fan--and some really tough levels--the halftrack escape springs to mind.
Bottom line--PEOPLE! THIS IS A 10 BUCK UPDATE! That, in itself, is a no-brainer. Buy this and enjoy it. I'm sure you'll get more that 10 dollars worth of fun out of it!

Demanding of hardware, Mar 14, 2023 This is a good add-on to Allied Assault, but you probably shouldn't try it unless you have the hardware to handle it. I first tried Spearhead on a G4 with 768 MB RAM, and eventually gave it up in frustration. In some levels (particularly the one that has you riding around on the top of a truck), the frame rate slowed down so much to make the level impossible.However, I've recently gotten a G5 with 1 GB RAM, and tried Sprearhead again. This time, the computer was able to handle the graphics nicely, and I was finally able to beat that level, although it was still really tough. I found that the later missions (defending the frontline, and infiltrating Berlin) were quite fun. All in all, a worthwhile purchase if you are not frustrated by slow performance.

Huge Let Down, Feb 10, 2023 I loved Allied Assault, it had challange, yet ran smoothly and was beatable. But sadly, Spearhead is a major dissappointment. I made it to the Ardennes mission far to easialy, at which point it is unbeatable. My 800Mhz machine is running at about 2 fps for parts of it (the driving part), so is simply unbeatable. Friends with faster machines, even a duel 1 Ghz find it all but impossible. But on a positive note, the Multiplayer additions are very good, with New Maps, Skins (sadly they took out Manon :( ), Missions, and weapons.

Simply awful performance, but a good game, Dec 16, 2022 This is an add-on pack to MOHAA - which was a great game. The content of this expansion pack is great. Essentially more of the same. More missions, etc.However, the performance is so bad on this that I ended up quitting it and un-installing. My system is pretty fast, too (G4 tower, 867 mhz, 768 mb RAM). The first few levels are ok, but the performance issues keep getting worse and worse with every successive level until finally, it just grinds to a blurred halt (ardennes forest, winter, half-track). I've looked on the Web site for tech support or patches and haven't found a thing. As a result, I really would have to discourage people from buying this game unless you have a super-fast machine to run it on.

Frostbite at Ardennes, Oct 16, 2023 As to the Wermacht, the weak point to this game is the snow, the Ardennes forest stage has no autosave feature and the quicksave doesnt work. Other snow bugs are:-1 out of 2 times planting the sticky bomb on the first battery of artillery stalls the game, forcing to quit. -The mountain top stage slows the game to a point can not be played at all. That happens even with the video and advanced options at minimum. Even playing in a 1 Gb RAM machine. The sound, the graphics, the play is superb, but dying from bugs is the worst thing can happen at any war, even a digital one. I would prefer to play this game in the PS2. The MOH Frontline is the best game I ever played. And I didnt find any bugs at all. (This information refers to the MAC version)
