What it is
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault came out in 2002 on a modified id Tech 3 engine, followed by the Spearhead and Breakthrough expansions. Its multiplayer community is still active, but the original executables are dated.
OpenMoHAA “is an open-source project aimed at preserving and enhancing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (including Spearhead and Breakthrough expansions)” (OpenMoHAA README). It is powered by ioquake3 and the F.A.K.K SDK (Ritual’s released game code for Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.², whose engine MoHAA’s was based on).
