[QUOTE=doommarine23;20291791]It's not really that bad of a game[/QUOTE] Oh, I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that it sold quite terribly on the PC compared to the console versions. Every version was buggy as hell though (played it on the 360 personally).
Meh, it's a terrible game anyways. So are the others on that list.
What a bunch of assholes. They'd better not touch 2142.
Mercenaries? [url='http://nooooooooooooooo.com/']NOOOOOO[/url]
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;20293067]What a bunch of assholes. They'd better not touch 2142.[/QUOTE] Really they are closing down servers for games that didn't sell well/not really popular online. They'd never touch a Battlefield game (except for Modern Combat which probably didn't do well).
[QUOTE=Erebus.;20293159]Really they are closing down servers for games that didn't sell well/not really popular online.

One of the worst games I have ever played. I still bought Battlefield 2 though.
[I]"Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for Xbox"[/I] I fucking loved online in this game... I was always sniping... Always...
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;20293067]What a bunch of assholes. They'd better not touch 2142.[/QUOTE] They haven't even touched 1942 yet
If there's a way to play mercenaries 2 over hamachi somehow, I'd love to hear it.
I actually like Burnout 3. I've heard the online was very fun for it.
I could never get Mercs 2 working for co-op anyway. Just a bunch of connection failures.
They're taking down Mercs2 servers? They better fucking rethink doing that, mercs2 is awesome online. [editline]08:45AM[/editline] Tempted to play it right now before I goes down in march, I'm going to rage [editline]08:45AM[/editline] it* gah
Oh god I hope they don't touch C&C Generals :( I still play that.
[QUOTE=Overpowered;20293632]They haven't even touched 1942 yet[/QUOTE] 1942 runs solely off of dedicated servers, if I remember correctly, and isn't hooked up to EA's system at all (You don't need an account, just entering a username in the options menu). That's why games like Medal of Honor: Allied Assault are still online and going. EA couldn't shut down 1942 even if they wanted to.

The master server is still hosted by EA so they can shut the ingame browser down.
[QUOTE=don818;20307917]Does anyone like them? [editline]03:35PM[/editline] They'd better not touch my fucking BF2 though.[/QUOTE] BF2 is one of the most popular PC games right now. Why the fuck would they shut it down? They're only closing down servers that no-one plays anymore. Like who the fuck would be playing BF2:MC on the Xbox in 2010. That game was shit when it came out in 2005.
Lord of The Rings conquest? :(
Okay, so now that EA is regularly taking down servers for games that AREN'T sports titles, I hope people really stand up and fight this colossal bullshit. LOTR: Conquest and Mercenaries 2 are fairly recent games, and shutting down their servers is just plain inexcusable.
lol I LOVED mercs 2 on PC. I never really did co-op (everyone I played with was a douche) but sad to see it go.

"Lord of the Rings: Conquest for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360" :911:
