In Medal of Honor, the player takes the role of Lieutenant Jimmy Patterson, who was recruited to the OSS. The game takes place during the near end of WW2, ( mid1944-mid1945). The goal of the game is to complete objectives, such as destroying enemy positions, and kill enemy German forces in the process.

In the first mission, Patterson airdrops into France and has to search for a downed G3 Pilot.
In the second mission, Patterson is sent to France again, now disguised as a Wehrmacht Captain. The goal is to destroy the German railgun Greta by hand.
In the third mission, Patterson goes undercover again, onboard a Merchant Marine freighter named Wolfram, heading to Germany. Now disguised as a Kriegsmarine Officer, Jimmy has to infiltrate a U-boat facility and scuttle U-4901.
The fourth mission takes place in Germany near the Siegfried Line, where Patterson must investigate activity within the German Mustard Gas facility named Schmerzen. In the PC sequel Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Lt. Mike Powell returns to it and destroys it for the final time.
In the fifth mission, Patterson is sent to Norway to sabotage the Hydro plant in the town of Rjukan to prevent the Germans from producing deuterium oxide (a.k.a. Heavy Water) and making an atomic bomb.
The sixth mission takes place in Austria, where the goal is to prevent the Germans from destroying the salt mine near the town of Altaussee and the stolen art located inside the mine.
In the seventh and final mission, Patterson is sent to Germany for one last time to destroy a German V-2 rocket & destroy the whole rocket facility in the process.
