It’s getting a bit late, and EA’s progress sounds slow to say the least. “Significant technical hurdles remain, and at this time we don’t have anything to announce.”

“We are still investigating community-supported options to preserve online functionality for these titles, such as multiplayer,” they wrote. “Unfortunately, due to technical challenges and concerns about the player experience, we do not have a solution at this time.”Īmong the 50 games affected are some EA acknowledge are PC “fan favourites” – including Battlefield 2, Battlefield 1942, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and the Command & Conquer series. “Since GameSpy’s announcement, our teams have been working to evaluate options to keep services up and running,” said EA. But this weekend’s post suggested there was no news to announce, and that time was running out.

EA have spent the time since working to overcome “technical hurdles”, and promised an announcement “when there is more news to share”. Gamespy announced earlier this month that they would be ending hosted services for all their supported games on May 31.
