We'll get a news post out regarding this, and be taking steps to address this issue soon. Unfortunately I've been really busy with work lately, so haven't had the opportunity to deal with it at all until now. Just really sucky timing.

Gamespy may have decided not to disable the server search support since EA is taking down the account server at the end of the month anyway. However I have been in contact with a Rep from gameranger that confirmed plans to provide support for bf2142 to continue to work online. I don't have any details yet but I will pass along on new updates.

Anybody out there? I got on 2142 today and the sever search still seemed to be working(If that's what gamespy affects), i'm not sure if those servers did something to keep themselves running but it's still working today.

PR gets its own master server, together with FH2. If you get in touch with AncientMan (from PR), you may be able to use the same server as well and keep First Strike alive after all.

They've kept most of their older games running for almost 10 years in some cases, I'm surprised that they are going to let all the older games get shut down or at least not work online. Sad news if they don't save them

It was bound to happen at some point, after all nothing lasts for ever.

Its "still being looked into" apparantly, but at this stage I'm not keeping my hopes up.

There was talk of looking at communtiy assisted ideas. I think the major community which is going to be crying out are the BF1942/BF2. These games also have the people with the technical knowledge to probably handle the problem. Not sure about 1942, but if BF2 is going to be rescued then 2142 probably will be too.

Good grief EA, make your mind up. Well that is sad news if that is the last word on the matter. Why on earth did they make announcements that they were going to save these games only for this to happen a month later? Perhaps someone added up the numbers and realised it wasn't financially viable or something? Either way, especially with the end of BF2 they have really killed a serious chunk of the modding community.

And look like BF2142 isn't going to be safe :

Here's a link to our latest news post over at ModDB, at least until we get our news posting facility here updated following our move from forum server providers.

Heh, watching the latter half of that video you see them using the bomb view for the bomber Y-Wing and TIE Bomber on the Ryloth map. Damn I'd like completely forgotten about that feature. Shows how long it has been since I played Ryloth, not to mention once again highlighting how informative the vid is.

Yes indeedy.

Bleedin' Hell!

Looking at our stats over on ModDB we've had just shy of 6000 visits today alone, that blows the results for every other news post we've ever done clean out of the water. To put it in perspective a good day after a solid news post results in a little north of 1000 visits for us. We're the top story in the ModDB headlines feature, so I guess that might be the cause of the extra traffic.

Whatever the cause it is awesome.
