We all know and have used gamespy in the past. Although the news of their impending shutdown has gone generally unnoticed, time is drawing near.

 


We were talking about this on TS a few weeks back, and wondering what effect this would have on EA titles we have known and loved...

The answer is in. In proper EA style, the answer is nada.

GameSpy announced earlier this month that they would be ending all hosted services for games, which impacts the online capabilities of a number of older titles, including some from EA.

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.

We know some of these games are still fan favorites, including Battlefield 2, Battlefield 1942, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Command & Conquer games. We are still investigating community-supported options to preserve online functionality for these titles, such as multiplayer. Significant technical hurdles remain, and at this time we don’t have anything to announce.

For the full list of titles impacted by the change, visit the EA Online Services Updates page here.
