Total Medal of Honor

IneQuation Studios have announced a new mod/game today, OpenMoHAA, a free open source recreation of EA's Medal of Honor Allied Assault. Check it out:

OpenMoHAA is an attempt at creating a free, open-source game engine capable of running Medal of Honor: Allied Assault content (in much the same way that OpenTTD runs Transport Tycoon Deluxe or Free in the Dark runs Alone in the Dark), technically superior to the original one by improving security, stability and adding features. It's not a patch, in fact, it has little to do with the original at all, apart from the functionality, which it will try to immitate as closely as possible. It will be built almost from scratch upon the rock-solid codebase of ioquake3.

Why?
Because the original game imposes severe limitations on modders, preventing some wonderful ideas from coming true ever since the game was released. Because the original game is buggy as hell.

What for?
So that the game experience is better. So that modders can do things that were considered impossible. So that server administrators are spared at least some of the pain of maintaining a good server.

How?
By reinventing the wheel - that is, modifying the Quake III source code to produce a game that looks, plays and feels exactly like MoHAA. By preventing bugs and glitches. By adding server administration tools. By improving the visual quality of the game through the use of new technology (full-screen anti-aliasing, possibly real dynamic lighting).

The project is housed at .map for MoHAA. A dedicated forum section has been created, where you can follow OpenMoHAA's development.

We've already had some significant success with it - preliminary support for MoHAA's maps has been added and works. You can learn more in this thread.

We hope it will help breathe some new life into this great game and bring back at least some of those who have left the community!

Check back soon for more updates on OpenMoHAA!

Total Medal of Honor is planning to organize a fun war night, amongst our own community members, and those of other Medal of Honor communities. Take a look:

Still reminiscing about those long summer days of hours and hours of Medal of Honor? All those frags on The Bridge? The sniper kills on Omaha Beach? All that spraying and praying you did in V2? Well Total Medal of Honor hopes to setup a fun war night sometime in early June on Medal of Honor Allied Assault.

You can leave suggestions or other comments in our thread to organize this event here. We hope as many people that can plan to attend, please tell your friends!

EA community manager Blackhat has posted an update on the leaderboard issue for Medal of Honor Heroes II. Take a look:

Thanks to everyone that notified us about the Leaderboards appearing to be wiped. We've gone back through the server logs and found the problem. Tonight at 2am (PST) the servers will be restarted, and this should repopulate the leaderboards for you guys.

Keep an eye out for things to be working normally tomorrow.

Herr Kruger has recently announced a new mod for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault titled Resident Evil. Also a new trailer has been released. Check it out:

The Resident Evil Modification for Medal of Honor Allied Assault, will be a Remake of the original, survival Horror game by CAPCOM. Our aim is to recreate the game, in every possible aspect, with our MOH style. For this reason, we would need to reproduce: characters (player skins) , levels, weapon and static models, graphic designing and a lot of programming. With all this said, and due to the game characteristics it is very clear for us that this modification, at least in its first platform or stage, will be a Single Player project.

You can learn more about Resident Evill mod at their official forums at ModTheater.

My real name is Ed Hahne, I am 21 years old and live in Germany, I am a student at the university of Bayreuth.

Since I'm quite new to all this cb-admin-stuff and I got some real life, too (you can basically name it exams until Wednesday right now) there will defiantly be some changes and news for MoHA coming to you soon, but not likely today or tomorrow, expect more news not before weekend

Just to give you a rough idea about what's first on my to do list:
- we will do some changes in the rules-section first
- there is going to be more information on Clanbase concerning the 1.3 patch
- thinking about ladders (changing and/or new one(s))

Total Gaming Network recently had a exclusive interview with Freddy Hajas the creator of the Hajas Extreme Realism mod for Medal of Honor Airborne. Take a look:

TGN: For those who have no idea what HER is or what the letters HER stands for why don't you tell the gamers a brief overview of what exactly HER is and what does it add to Medal of Honor Airborne?

HER means Hajas Extreme Realism, and in resume will change the gameplay of MOHA into a lot more realistic game that tries to simulate the Multiplayer of the old MOHAA (SH & BT) with Realism, which will work in Singleplayer and Multiplayer of Airborne, but a little more hard, that's why "Extreme" in the name.

Some of the HER features are no more 1 full clip to kill an enemy, now anyone can die with 1-2 good shots (inclued you), no more airdrop protection avoiding you to jump in the middle of the enemy forces, if you do it now you will probably hit the ground dead, the player have the same health as the enemies when the original had almost 3 times more, less nades and ammo to carry, lean in Multiplayer now is equal as in the Singleplayer, falling damage is more close to reality, explosions are a lot more powerfull and many others tweaks to make the gameplay not only realistic but also very well balanced.

With all that will bring back the feel of war to the game, something that I missed a lot in the original version. Read More...
