D-Day is the first mission in Medal of Honor: Frontline. It is the first of six missions/chapters of the game's storyline. The mission consists of two levels.
Briefing[]
Being the introductory mission of the game, D-Day does not have a briefing. Instead, before the mission starts, the player is shown this short poem:
And when he gets to Heaven,
To St. Peter he will tell:
“One more soldier reporting, sir,
I’ve served my time in Hell.”

The Choice
June 6th, 1944
175,000 Allied soldiers breached the walls of Fortress Europe through intense German resistance. By late June, Cherbourg had fallen, giving the Allies the ports they so desperately needed. By early August, Eisenhower had amassed an Allied army of over 1,000,000 strong. Treacherous field-to-field hedgerow fighting unleashed a breakout across France. With the Germans in full retreat, the Allies marched into Paris. Field Marshal Montgomery moved north into Belgium, while General Patton and the 3rd Army pushed to the Siegfried Line. It was here that the Allies encountered their newest enemy - the lack of sufficient supplies. Patton's plan was to run straight through the teeth of the Siegfried Line directly to Berlin. Monty had devised a daring airborne operation that had the potential of ending the war by Christmas. Having only enough supplies to support one advance, the fate of thousands rested in the hands of the few. With Allied superiority on land, sea and air, what could go wrong?
Trivia[]
- The decision to include a mission depicting D-Day was made almost at the last minute, after the Frontline developers had a chance to play Allied Assault's Omaha Beach level. For this reason, the level prefixes start with "6.X" (as seen in the "making of" video) and the medal the player can earn for this mission appears out of order with the rest of the game's medals in the medal case.[1]
