14 December 2003: Configuration page updated. The server is now running the recently released 2.4 patch. You will need to install this patch to play the two new maps, Bizerte Festung and Stuckguter (you can download it from here). Some players have reported incidents of 'sharking'. However, this appears to be a compatibility issue, only affecting those players who have not updated to 2.4.

27 November 2003: Over the coming weeks the Standard Maps page will be updated with Breakthrough map profiles. We've started with the Anzio map. If you fancy yourself as a reviewer why not submit your own map profile for a Breakthrough map which has yet to be covered. E-mail your submissions using the standard table template (in .txt .doc or .html format) with three screenshots to admin@online-assault.com. If it is good enough it will be posted up on the site (n.b. reviews have are already been assigned for Bizerte Harbor, Castello and Palermo).

18 November 2003: The server has now been migrated from a BarryServer to a Game.Net server. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused but things seems to be back to normal, with the added bonus of 24 client slots (22 public and 2 private).
The branding prefix has been dropped to reinforce the independent status of the server, resulting in the name MoH DeathMatch (www.online-assault.com). The new IP address is 213.221.175.133. Please note that the port number will vary depending on which game is being hosted, i.e. for Medal of Honor games it will be 29960 but for Call of Duty it will be 24960. Please update your config files, in-game browser , GameSpy and ASE settings as required.

16 November 2003: As the server is likely to start running a mix of Allied Assault/Spearhead/Breakthrough and Call of Duty rotations (on different days) we are looking for a new name for the server and the website. Submit your suggestions to admin@online-assault.com. The successful name will need to be relevant, sound cool and be available for registration as a domain name. Get your thinking caps on!

14 November 2003: Following the acquisition of BarrysWorld by Game, all BarryServers are in the process of being re-branded as Game.Net servers. This will result in a name change for the server at some point over the weekend and - most likely - a new IP address. Details of the changes will be reported here and on the automated server announcements.

5 October 2003: The new Breakthrough expansion will be tested on the server today from 00:01 to 20:00, to assess the performance of the server. If there are no issues or problems expect to see Breakthrough rotations once or twice a week for the next few weeks. It is anticipated that eventually, all Spearhead sessions will be replaced by Breakthrough.

4 October 2003: We are pleased to announce a second Custom Map Test, scheduled to run for four or five consecutive Saturdays, starting on Saturday 18 October.

Follow this link for details of the last test and this link for the new one. If you would like to nominate a custom map for inclusion, send the details to admin@online-assault.com.

3 October 2003: Please note the new IP address for the server. The address has changed from 213.221.175.199:29962 to 213.221.175.103:29962. The reason for the change is that the server has been relocated from a busy BarrysWorld machine to a quieter one in an attempt to improve overall performance. Thanks to BarrysWorld for their support. You will need to update any shortcuts and .cfg files, as well as Gamespy and All Seeing Eye bookmarks. Apologies for any inconvenience.

2 October 2003: A number of the MoH DeathMatch community have been impressed with the Call of Duty St.Mere-Eglise demo released recently. If the multiplayer side of the game is any good expect to see some rotations on the server.
