Gamespy shutting down BF2 support, not that its going to affect a lot of people.
http://au.ign.com/articles/2014/04/03/g … es-at-risk

There have been a number of reports regarding the recent discontinuation of service to several online multiplayer games previously supported by GameSpy Technologies. We recognize that fans of games where the publisher has elected to discontinue GameSpy Technologies support are frustrated. However, reports that GameSpy Technologies “shutdown servers without warning” are simply inaccurate. GameSpy Technologies – a separate entity from GameSpy.com – is a service provider to game publishers. Each publisher contracting with GameSpy Technologies elects at its sole discretion whether or not to maintain support for its titles. A number of our publisher partners elected to allow their contracts for GameSpy Technologies’ services to lapse by not continuing to pay for these services. In some cases this lapsing ranges back as much as four years. GameSpy Technologies has continued to provide months, and in some cases years, of service support for free. However we cannot be expected to provide a service free of charge to publishers who choose not to renew their service agreements and in some cases remain delinquent in delivering payment for past services. In each case reported in the press where there was a discontinuation of GameSpy Technologies’ services, the applicable publisher was well aware that they had not made the required payments under their agreements with GameSpy Technologies. For the sake of clarity – the situation is identical to fans attributing fault to the hosting company of a popular website for ceasing hosting services, when the website owner refuses to pay its hosting bill. While we would hope and expect our publisher partners to message their user communities on changes in status of their games, often this is not done. The result is user confusion and frustration. It is regrettable that these publishers chose not to inform their users of the impending discontinuation of support. We understand the frustration of fans that until now weren’t clear on why their game has lost some of its functionality, but hope that this clarifies the situation. - See more at: http://www.poweredbygamespy.com/blog/#s … i6n4Z.dpuf
GameSpy was acquired by IGN in 2000; by 2014, its services had been used by over 800 video game publishers and developers since its launch.[2] In August 2012, the GameSpy Industries division (which remained responsible for the GameSpy service) was acquired by mobile video game developer Glu Mobile. IGN (then owned by News Corporation) retained ownership of GameSpy's publishing assets. In February 2013, IGN's new owner, Ziff Davis, shut down IGN's "secondary" sites, including GameSpy's network. This was followed by the announcement in April 2014 that GameSpy's service platform will be shut down on May 31, 2014.
Is it Gamespy or EA or GLU we need to post poo to?

Will EA fix it?

I'm hoping EA finds a way to get it switched over to something else some way or another. I don't know if I like where the revival guy is going with it when he talks about adding new maps, factions and other content as well as patching things like explosive-spam and stuff like that.  It really just needs to be kept alive and left as it is, the only thing I can think of adding is maybe some technical modernizations like 4K monitor and IPv6 support or something like that and those are obviously both extreme long-shots

The author said on Reddit that BF2, BF2142 and BC2 can be added:

I'm assuming it doesn't already because 1080p is the highest resolution I can see in the options menu and that was only patched in with widescreen support in v1.5 back in 2009 but honestly I haven't tried it so I have no way of knowing for sure whether it does or not.  4K would probably scale horribly anyway on such an old and clunky UI like BF2's.  According to this article, even some of the latest games have trouble doing certain things right in 4K, although the graphics themselves are still absolutely amazing

Battlefield 2 will not DIE.
There is a community of players working on a work around to keep playing Battlefield 2 and not only that but also adds Special Forces with PATCHED update so we can play BF2 and Special Forces without switching between games. This is awesome and alot of hard work. You can find the patch and the future of BATTLEFIELD 2 at

i hope each of you, that still logs in and reads recent posts to bf2s, realize that someone who tells you to 'move on with your lives' doesn't know jack shit about actually living.

your life should take you where you want to go, and if you end up somewhere where you don't want to be, it's a learning experience.

the person i quoted has experience with rooms that have rubber walls - do you really want to move on with your life if it means you get to check out a hotel without a door handle on the room you*re staying in?

or would you rather game (the reason this website exists) with people you know and a game you enjoy?

Don't BF2 and SF use somewhat different game engines or some shit?
