the dedicated server files have been available for bf2 and some of the others since day one. ea is only pulling the plug on the master server and the gsp's (game service providers). id did this with the doom and quake games years ago but the games still have active servers, you just have to find them through third party server browsers. hopefully the battlefield games will still be able to operate this way.Callate said:So, of course they're going to release the code to allow people to create their own servers so they can show their loyalty to long-established franchises and the fans who have allowed them to endure.
and so much for ea saying they were going to find new server providers for all the old games being affected by the gamespy shutdown. last time i was on battlefield 2 there were still a ton of servers full up with players. shame to see it go.
