Omaha Beach opens Medal of Honor: Frontline, EA's 2002 World War II shooter that starts in the water and then moves inland. Lieutenant Jimmy Patterson is the soldier, and the GameCube version followed the PlayStation 2 original through occupied Europe after the landing.
Hedges, a manor, and a submarine pen continue the campaign once the sand is behind you. The beach is the set piece people remember because the landing craft ramp is the tutorial.
The cube disc arrived after the PlayStation 2 original had already stormed that beach. Patterson's war is the same operation, now on Nintendo's disc.
