Upload community maps and config files, or download the server's files to keep a copy.

Log viewer

Watch the console as the server loads its maps, the fastest way to find a typo.

Snapshot a working setup and roll back in a few clicks after an experiment.

Online status

Medal of Honor Spearhead Server Hosting Since EA's 2014 Shutdown

Spearhead belongs to the Allied Assault family, and EA's online services for the whole family ended on the same day in 2014. The game is still sold, and its servers are now run by the people who play it.

EA online services ended30 June 2014Sold todayIn the War Chest on GOG

01

What EA lists

EA's Online Services Shutdown list gives 30 June 2014 for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault for PC and Mac, including the Breakthrough and Spearhead expansions.

02

What GOG says

GOG's store page says the publisher no longer supports the game's multiplayer servers and names LAN, with no CD key, as the only official option.

03

Still on sale

GOG sells the Medal of Honor: Allied Assault War Chest, which bundles Allied Assault with Spearhead and Breakthrough, officially supported on Windows.

04

What that means for a server

There is no publisher server list to appear in. A rented server is reached directly by its address, which players type in or keep in their favourites.

The expansion

Expansion, Maps and Files on Medal of Honor Spearhead Server Hosting

What you need to know about Spearhead as a server game, based on what EA and GOG publish.

An expansion to Allied Assault

Spearhead adds to Allied Assault; GOG sells the two together, with Breakthrough, in the War Chest.

The last year of the war

GOG describes the campaign: parachuting in during Operation Overlord, holding the line at the Battle of the Bulge and pushing on to Berlin.

Quake III engine

EA's War Chest page says Allied Assault was built with the Quake III engine, so Spearhead servers are light.

Players need Spearhead

Everyone who joins needs the Spearhead expansion installed, not only the base game.

Community maps

Upload any custom maps your group plays with SFTP; players need the same files to join.

Separate products

Allied Assault and Breakthrough are separate servers on our order form; order the one your group plays.

Memory, sized for you

RAM for Medal of Honor Spearhead Server Hosting

Before you order

Medal of Honor Spearhead Server Hosting Essentials

Four things to know before your first match.

  1. Order Spearhead, not Allied Assault

    Each game in the family is its own server product. This one runs the Spearhead expansion.

  2. Share the address

    There is no official server list since EA's 2014 shutdown, so give your players the IP and port from the panel.

  3. Same files for everyone

    Players need Spearhead installed, and any custom maps the server runs.

  4. Stop before editing

    Config changes saved while the server runs are not applied; stop it, save, then start it.

Answers

Medal of Honor Spearhead Server Hosting FAQ

Straight answers about running a Spearhead server today.

Online status

Did EA's shutdown include Spearhead?

Yes. EA's Online Services Shutdown list gives 30 June 2014 for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault for PC and Mac, including the Breakthrough and Spearhead expansions.

Can people still play Spearhead online?

On servers the community hosts, joined by address. GOG says the publisher no longer supports the multiplayer servers and names LAN as the only official option, so there is no official server list.

How do players find my server?

You tell them. Share the IP and port from the panel, and players enter it in the game to connect or save it as a favourite.

Is Spearhead still sold?

Yes. GOG sells the Medal of Honor: Allied Assault War Chest, which includes Spearhead and Breakthrough and is officially supported on Windows.

Plans and price

How much does Medal of Honor Spearhead server hosting cost?

The 12 slot plan is €7.00 a month with 5GB of RAM. Longer billing terms cost less per month.

Which size should I pick?

12 slots for six-a-side clan nights, 16 for a regular group, 24 for bigger evenings and 32 for events. You can change size later in the client area.

Why does every plan have the same RAM?

Spearhead runs on the Quake III engine and needs very little memory, so the free 5GB tier is plenty at every size.

Is there a contract?

No. Monthly billing has no contract and can be cancelled whenever you like.

Running the server

Can I host Allied Assault or Breakthrough instead?

Yes, they are separate servers. See Medal of Honor: Allied Assault server hosting; Breakthrough has its own product on the order form.

Can I run custom maps?

Yes. Upload them with SFTP or the File Manager. Every player who joins needs the same map files installed.

Can I password the server?

Yes. Set a join password in the server's config with the server stopped, then share it with your group.

How quickly is it set up?

Usually within 20 minutes of payment, with the panel login sent by email.

Medal of Honor Spearhead Server Hosting: Keeping the Expansion Alive

Spearhead is more than twenty years old and its official online services ended in 2014, yet groups still play it. This guide explains what Spearhead is, what EA's shutdown changed, and how to run a server players can find, join and come back to.

What Spearhead Adds to Allied Assault

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Spearhead is an expansion to Allied Assault, the Second World War shooter that EA built with the Quake III engine. GOG's description of the campaign follows the last year of the war on the European front: parachuting behind enemy lines during Operation Overlord, holding back the German offensive at the Battle of the Bulge, and advancing on Berlin.

For multiplayer, the important point is that Spearhead is its own game on the server side. A Spearhead server runs the expansion, and the players who join it need Spearhead installed, not only the base game. That is why our order form sells Allied Assault, Spearhead and Breakthrough as three separate products. Before you order, check which of the three your group actually plays together.

What Changed When EA Ended Online Services

EA's Online Services Shutdown list has a single entry that covers the family: 30 June 2014, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault for PC and Mac, including the Breakthrough and Spearhead expansions. GOG's store page for the War Chest puts the result plainly: the publisher no longer supports the game's multiplayer servers, and the only official option is LAN, with no CD key required.

In practice, what disappeared was the publisher's side of multiplayer, such as the server list that used to show every public game. What remains is the game itself, which players can still buy on GOG, and servers that communities run and share by address. A rented Spearhead server is one of those. We will not pretend it puts you back in an official list: players reach it because you give them its address.

QuestionAnswer
When did EA end online services?30 June 2014, including Spearhead (EA's list)
Is there an official server list?No; GOG names LAN as the only official option
Can players join a hosted server?Yes, by entering its address
Can you still buy the game?Yes, in the War Chest on GOG

Getting Your Players Onto the Server

Without a public list, how players find you becomes your job, and it is a simple one. After setup, the panel shows the server's IP and port. Post them wherever your group talks, whether that is a Discord channel, a forum thread or a pinned message, and ask players to save the server as a favourite so they never have to type it again.

  • Check the install: each player needs Spearhead installed and working, including any patches your group has agreed on.
  • Match the files: if the server runs custom maps, share the same files so players can load them.
  • Start the server first: make sure the panel shows it online before anyone tries to connect.
  • Password if needed: a join password keeps a clan night to your clan.

Because nobody stumbles onto the server by accident, a Spearhead server tends to be a community of regulars. That is easy to look after: you know who plays, and you can agree changes before you make them.

Sizing the Server for Your Group

We show four sizes from the order form: 12, 16, 24 and 32 slots. Twelve is six against six, the classic size for an organised match; sixteen suits a regular group; twenty-four gives the open maps more life; thirty-two is for the nights when everyone turns up. The order form goes all the way to 64 if your community is larger, and you can change the size from the client area whenever you like.

Every plan includes 5GB of RAM, a 5.0GHz CPU and NVMe storage, which is far more than a game of Spearhead's age needs. That is deliberate: memory is never the reason a Spearhead server struggles, so you only pay more for slots.

Configs, Rotations and Community Maps

You set the server's name, password and map rotation in its config files, which you edit in the browser in the panel's Configuration Files section. Our rule for every game applies: stop the server, save the change, start it again. Changes saved while it runs are not picked up. If the server does not come back as expected, the log viewer shows the console as it loads, and a mistyped map name is usually easy to spot there.

Many long-running groups have favourite community maps. Upload them with SFTP, using a client such as WinSCP or FileZilla, or with the panel's File Manager, then add them to the rotation. Players need the same map files installed, so share them before the night you plan to use them.

Looking After an Old Server

With EA's services finished, nothing changes under a Spearhead server from one month to the next, which makes it pleasantly low maintenance. A few habits keep it that way:

  1. Take a backup of a clean, working setup before you change anything.
  2. Schedule a restart in quiet hours, so a long-running server starts each evening fresh.
  3. Keep a copy of your config files and map list off the server too, by downloading them over SFTP.
  4. Change one thing at a time, so you always know what to undo.

Each start begins with an offsite clone of the server for data protection, so the panel can briefly show 0 CPU and memory. That is normal. If something looks wrong for longer, open a ticket; our support team answers around the clock.

What to Check Before You Rent a Medal of Honor Spearhead Server

For a classic game without an official server list, check these.

  1. The right productMake sure the server runs Spearhead, not the base game or Breakthrough.
  2. A clear connection addressYou need a fixed IP and port to share with your group.
  3. File accessSFTP or a file manager for configs and community maps.
  4. Honest informationA host should tell you plainly that EA's online services ended in 2014.
