Halo: Combat Evolved Muliplayer Servers Shutting Down

[Adam91]

 

Halo: Combat Evolved for the PC and many other games that are hosted by Gamespy are set to be shut down on May 31st. Gamespy issued an announcement on their site confirming that their online servers for all games that they host will soon cease to be in service.

 

"Effective May 31, 2014, GameSpy will cease providing all hosted services for all games still using GameSpy.

 

If you have any questions about how this impacts your favorite title please contact the game’s publisher for more information.

 

Thanks for a great ride! - See more"

 

This action gamespy has taken will effect hundreds of games and thousands of gamers who use their services as it will all come to an end next month.

 

After this news broke out many are hoping their Gamespy hosted games will then move to steam in the future.

 

What do you think about this news, does this effect your gaming life?

 

Do you play Halo: Combat Evolved on PC?

[Allan Brown]

I still play both Halo PC and Custom Edition. Sad to see it go, hopefully direct IP will still work.

This highly upsetting. Steam? That most likely wont happen but please find some other network sharing service to host our favorite PC halo games.

Such an iconic game that is played everyday by many players online. Will be a sad day if it went away. change.org/petitions/steam-adopt-halo-combat-evolved-custom-edition-multiplayer

I regularly bought the game and played it for more than 5 years.

I suppose that if I buy a "full game" this will still "fully playable" at least long as the terms of copyright  (70 years), if not this rule will be broken (and we all know that these rights nowdays are often used to block many users in many ways, so we can't reclaim OUR rights now?) and at least to me seem right to give us back our money multiplicated for the hours we spent on it.

Insane proposal right? Too bad...

 

I don't see the reason to shut down GameSpy with all its old school games, they haven't stunning graphics, true, but they still have an unbelievable gameplay on which you can dream about it on limited new games, remember, you can create the game, but is the people who choose which game is better.

I hope you guys at 343 can feel our hearts throbbing for this amazing game, and let it us taste it over and over again PLEASE

 

Everyone keep sign and sharing, I am sure there are more than +15k players that still don't know about what is happening:    https://www.change.org/petitions/steam-adopt-halo-combat-evolved-custom-edition-multiplayer#
