It's absolutely amazing. Just like RTCW except with none of the fake weapons and an incredibly team-bases system. 2) A native Linux client of Medal of Honor is apparently in the works right now (http://www.tuxgames.com/details.cgi?gameref=104&id=454127&nc=1050748589). Though I've never played the game, I know it is a WWII era game so it might be worth looking into. 3) While I've yet to find a way to run this outside of Windows, it is the absolute pinnacle of WWII shooters/sims IMO. Hidden and Dangerous. I have sunk more hours than I'd care to admit into this game over the years. Unfortunately, haven't touched it in over a year since I killed off my Windoze partitions altogether. p.s. If you get the urge to just blow stuff up, Unreal Tournament 2003 is a blast (pun intended... :) and has a native Linux client. If you're into RPG's at all, Neverwinter Nights now has a native Linux client in beta that's been working great for me. No word yet on a boxed version of NWN with the client, but you can always buy the Windows version from tuxgames and then install the client by hand. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
