Medal of Honor Frontline is the first installment of Electronic Arts' popular Medal of Honor series for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube video game systems. In this game you play the role of Lt. Jimmy Patterson, a pilot of the 101st Airborne Division, who is working for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), as he campaigns his way across Europe and into Nazi Germany itself.
The main story chronicles Lt. Patterson's attempt to capture a prototype of the Horten Ho 229. The Ho IX, as it was called, was the first application of a flying wing design, combined with a jet engine. Chronologically, it takes place between the third and fourth missions in the original Medal of Honor. So far it has enjoyed more praise than its two console sequels, and is often considered the game that set the standard for the console WWII first-person shooter.
