I was playing MW:LL on Wine on and off since few years back now...
latest article i've found is this
Since Wine reached version 4 the WoW means the 32 and 64 bit binaries will run in the same prefix, maybe this enables to play MW:LL on Linux more easy?

just found this one too it's from 2017 so quite recent-ish

I had Crysis/MWLL running in Wine as far back as 2008/2009-ish. It wasn't free from bugs (example) or crashes, but you could play. That was the 32-bit version, 64 bit didn't quite work yet.

I'm glad others are still looking into it these days. I've stopped since getting a dedicated inferior Windoze machine for games and such.

The Funbockses have been running in Wine from day 1 and work very well. They even work in 64-bit, if you can live with a very weird bug.

12thVR servers reportedly had slots on Wine and on Windows
Each where in containers (Dokker?)
and watched over by an extensive framework of scripts...
I hope we learn more from them once they are ready

Deathshade

I got the 64 bit to work as well.

Deathshade of client or server, sir?

Over the course of last couple months i have been asked to help get new players get going on Linux...

I usually point them to my installation video (somewhat boring I must admit):

thereafter I use a script to launch the game or server.
MWLLgame.sh
i keep it in ~/bin as it is in my $PATH, it has to have i't executable bit set for the intended user (i have all three "up")
$ chmod +x ~/bin/MWLLgame.sh

Hope you have good fun and share some screenshots and PC configs here
