BeckoningZebra1 1842 Report post Posted May 13, 2014 EA has released a list of 50 games that will soon be losing online support. This following list is of games that will be losing online support in late June due to the recent announcement of GameSpy's closing: Battlefield 1942 for PC and Mac (including The Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WW2 expansions) Battlefield 2 for PC (including Special Forces expansion) Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for PlayStation 2 Battlefield 2142 for PC and Mac (including Northern Strike expansion) Battlefield Vietnam for PC Bejeweled ® 2 for the Wii Bulletstorm for PlayStation 3 Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars for PC and Mac (including Kane’s Wrath expansion) Command & Conquer: Generals for PC and Mac (including Zero Hour expansion) Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 for PC and Mac Crysis 2 for PC Crysis for PC Crysis Wars for PC Dracula – Undead Awakening for the Wii Dragon Sakura for Nintendo DS EA Sports 06 for PC F1 2002 for PC FIFA Soccer 08 (KOR) for the Wii FIFA Soccer 08 for Nintendo DS FIFA Soccer 09 for Nintendo DS FIFA Soccer 10 for Nintendo DS FIFA Street 3 for Nintendo DS Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers for PlayStation 2 Global Operations for PC Green Day: Rock Band for the Wii James Bond: Nightfire for PC Madden NFL 08 for Nintendo DS Madden NFL 09 for Nintendo DS Master of Orion III for PC Medal of Honor: Allied Assault for PC and Mac (including Breakthrough and Spearhead expansions) MySims Party for Wii MySims Racing for Nintendo DS MySims SkyHeroes for the Wii and DS NASCAR Sim Racing for PC NASCAR Thunder 2003 for PC NASCAR Thunder 2004 for PC Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 for PC Need for Speed: ProStreet for Nintendo DS Need for Speed: Undercover for Nintendo DS Neverwinter Nights 2 for PC and Mac Neverwinter Nights for PC, Mac and Linux (including Hordes of the Underdark and Shadows of Undrentide expansions) SimCity Creator for Wii Skate It for Nintendo DS Sneezies for the Wii Spore Creatures for Nintendo DS Spore Hero Arena for Nintendo DS Star Wars: Battlefront for PC and PlayStation 2 Star Wars: Battlefront II for PC and PlayStation 2 The Beatles: Rock Band for the Wii Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 for Nintendo DS As you can see, a very large number of games on many platforms will be losing online support, this is very disheartening news to many gamers. EA has released an official statement along with the announcement of this list saying: "Since GameSpy’s announcement, our teams have been working to evaluate options to keep services up and running. Unfortunately, due to technical challenges and concerns about the player experience, we do not have a solution at this time. Online services for EA games on the GameSpy platform will be closed down at the end of June." You can see from this statement that EA is indeed working hard to keep at least some of these games online. Though some of these games were already set to lose their online support due to Nintendo discontinuing their Wi-Fi connection services. What do you think of this News? Will this change in service affect you? Leave us your thoughts in the comment section below. Special thanks to @Zelda for showing me this news!

Screech 78 Report post Posted May 13, 2014 They already took Burnout Paradise's online servers down without any notice whatsoever... was so disappointed to find that out when I re-purchased the game last weekend after taking a two year break from it. That used to be my favorite game... I played it every day for something like 2 years before I got into Halo 3. Also, I had a mini heart attack when I saw Green Day Rockband on that list. Luckily, it looks like they're only taking the Wii's servers down! Thank jeebus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
