EA is shutting down lots of online game services.

it always hurts to see when online servers get shut down

Gameranger is offering support for most of these games including Battlefront 2. Most of the PS2 games listed have LAN modes, therefore they can be port forwarded directly to other players or supported by private servers.

hamachi+friends so.

late 2014 titanfall shutdown.... people rage EA shutdown..

I'm surprised to hear that the multiplayer for James Bond: Nightfire was still active. I guess Gamespy made it easy and economical for companies to just leave fringe multiplayer servers up for a long time, but its not worth changing them to something else.

I really wish games would have a more basic server lobby code built in for whenever the main lobby servers go offline. EA could probably run literally every outdated game they have on one server if they just disabled everything that isn't completely necessary. All you truly need is to store the name of the server, the game its for, the hosts ip address, how full it is and when it last pinged the server. That would be more than enough to keep basic multiplayer working for most games and in terms of data we're talking about way less than 1kb of hard drive space per active server and the load on the lobby server would be minimal due to the fact that most of the games are relatively inactive.

MOO3, that had some players or even servers still?

That's stpid
lots of this game is still on sale like C&C collection pack
Why peaple should buy it and its online services is offline ?
due to the damn gamespy I cant play CRYSIS 2 at all and I already have maximum edition and lots of C&C games (most of it was using gamespy)
they should patch the game for lan or get my damn money back

I hope they drop the price then. I don't care the multiplayer, just the price.

Who cares? Those aren't real games. EA is commercialized casual garbage. If people had any intelligence they would have boycotted EA many years ago.

Dayum...neverwinter 2

i dont see the problem here. these are mostly really old games, which are played by maybe 5 people total. i am fine with shutting these down. and honestly, i guess most people dont actually play any of these games, and just want to do some more EA bashing, because - internet... ;)

dumb question: when those servers are off, will it be possible to still play the games offline (the campaign, if they have one)? i'm thinking of crysis 1 and 2.

They only shutdown the support not the servers, you can always host a dedicated server !

James Bond: Nightfire for PC

Is it really still up:D

I remember playing that long time ago...

I never could get 2142 to work on Windows 7, yet I'm still sad to see it go.

this is the move to achieve again the first place :))

Don't play any either but damn, that's a lot.

Yay let's hop on the "EA is crap" bandwagon..

This is all related to the GameSpy service shutting down.. Who the hell was still playing these games in Multiplayer anyway.

Oh that's why their games have been on sale, wish they mentioned that before people purchased them fucking cunts.

I love how everyone complains about EA, they get rated the worst company in America, yet they are still profiting so much money. Quick question, why should they change how they operate when it is CLEARLY successful.

So much for the F2P version of BF1942...and seeing Mohaa gets taken down too I guess the chances for a release on Origin are even more near zero than before.

And they even sold BF2 on Steam with a 75% discount recently, lol.

I love comment #6. Refund, really?

Battlefield 2!? Like the best Battlefield out there!? Fucking EA. FUCKING E.A. .

2142 too!? Wow I cant believe EA is so evil.

And Crysis 1/2? too!? Fuck...
