EA / Crytek Shut Down Crysis 2 servers

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 1:42 pm

All of the NFO servers (except 5 unplayed ones.. Assault in Classic anyone?) are gone.

This includes the 2nd and 3rd-5th ranked servers in the world behind DDD crashsite. I can see dropping dead servers, but-- I guess this game just can't die fast enough for these bastards.

EA pulled its servers for obvious reasons, it wants its new polished EA game to kill MW3.

They all went to BF3

Its as though the decision was made: "Well we better leave 5 up, I guess. Just leave the ones that used the least bandwidth" Heres what they left:

TIA / FAST ROUNDS (DLC)
IA / PRO (DLC)
TIA / STANDARD (password protected)
ASSAULT / SOLO (8-slot)
and my favorite:
ASSAULT / CLASSIC (yeah, its kinda imbalanced)

Shifting unused resources to another game makes sense. The way it was done makes none. Of course they just didn't have the fortitude to just yank em all and cause a headline. From beginning to end, I cant imagine a Job in Support for this company.

This was all NFO servers. They have an agreement with EA to supply official servers for C2.
Protest by not renting their servers and let them know why.

It's pretty easy actually. All you need to do is imagine yourself in India earning 1 Rupee/day, read from a script that says "The problem is your system Sir" (plus another 5 or 6 roundabout ways of saying the same thing) and after letting the customer rant a bit having the gall to ask "Is there anything else I can help you with Sir?".

I feel sorry for Cry-Tom and Cry-Adam, they're probably legally obligated to keep their mouths shut about any possibility of fixing the remaining glitches (MP Disconnects, Orbital LagLaser...). Never again will any EA game be a Day 1 purchase for me, especially if I want to play MP. Halo for PC has disconnected me twice all the years I've been playing it; Crysis 2 disconnects me every 10-15 minutes minimum.

That is a benefit of deleting all of the official servers: we'll be left with ones that are cared about, have a little flavor, and have admins. Good job, btw SPiRiT.

Is there a danger of us losing all our unlocks at some point then? Or is there never going to be a danger of that?

To lose all your unlocks, by EA to advance another Title would be unethical! They might do it, or maybe not.

+1

Actually, I have come to trust Crytek; the kind of gut-level trust that develops over time....

I trust them to do the next shortsided thing, whatever that may be.

lol. At this point I fully anticipate a tragic unrecoverable system crash caused by those ever-powerful hackers that mangles this site causing loss of all threads and user data. They want us to know, though, that they will be implementing their own secret security measures for their newest title, and really value the PC community.

I guess I'm done.

All I see is Mosco and .de server and they are the two worst servers on Crysis 2 even the germans say the german server svck, they all display 1000 ping. French and UK are the best.
