Fancy some Medal of Honor: Allied Assault on modern systems with online play? OpenMoHAA is what you need to check out. Covered here initially on GamingOnLinux back in November 2024, the community project is quickly coming along with a whole lot of big improvements in the latest v0.82.0-beta release.
Some highlights of this release:
- The navigation system has drastically improved for bots thanks to the Recast Navigation library. The mp-navigation pk3 file is no longer needed.
- Docs have been reorganized and clarified. There is a new website for the documentation: https://docs.openmohaa.org/.
- On Windows there is now a setup file (MSI) to install OpenMoHAA.
- Multiplayer server list has evolved!
- Lot of fixes... Including some that address bugs present in the original game.
The bots are now a lot smarter and can navigate more difficult paths properly including those requiring jumping, falling or climbing ladders and navigating around obstacles. The most exciting addition though is the new master server powered by 333networks. With this update OpenMoHAA also now supports multiple master servers, and queries them all together to build the server list.

OpenMoHAA supports the full original game (including the campaigns) with support for modern systems. Along with plenty of modern enhancements.
You need the original game to work with it that you can buy from GOG.com.
Running it on Linux is really easy. You can use the Heroic Launcher to download the game from GOG, then drop the release files from the OpenMoHAA GitHub into the installed folder and launch it.
