PsienceWins Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I've noticed that the other games in the line of WB Games that will be shutting down have been given a notice in the game itself. Has anyone booted up F.E.A.R. 2 recently and seen a message that says matchmaking won't be available after May 31st like WB did with Guardians of Middle Earth and Gotham City Impostors? Can't really check with MK since it's saved, but maybe the Vita version has a message? I'll check when I get home, but it's just a thought.

alexfranco60 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi Psience. I'm not so sure about that. For 2 reasons: 1. Gotham City and GoME are kind of new games and both have a more social HUD. But FEAR 2 is an older game and it doesn't have that kind of notifications. 2. But the most important thing, is 2 months ago when GameSpy servers were down for 3 days, we couldn't boost during those days either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^ FEAR 2 has no in-game messaging system except for DLC announcements and the one message that is there, hasn't changed in years. Alex is right about what happened a couple of months back, for 3 days you couldn't even get into the Unranked servers, let alone the Ranked ones . When the inevitable happens in 2 weeks time, this game will be 100% unPlatinumable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRAITH017 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) FEAR 2 has no in-game messaging system except for DLC announcements and the one message that is there, hasn't changed in years.

When the inevitable happens in 2 weeks time, this game will be 100% unPlatinumable . Glad I saw this to confirm what I told a friend of mine. People say this is a peer to peer server. Many people have said that only the leaderboards are going down and should not affect trophies at all BUT When you boosting this game and go to a 3 star general...EVEN IF you have the required points your character in game only shows 3 star general status when the leaderboard updates. SO I do not know if this would affect trophies if the servers stay but leaderboard goes. A friend of mine phoned WB Games direct and the manager told him that he does not know whats happening with the Fear2 servers. Hopefully the guys out there boosting are going to make it just to be on the safe side. I guess we can only wait and see what happens after the 31/5/2014 Edited May 21, 2014 by WRAITH017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simula67 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 It's best to assume that the servers are going to be shut down. Though the game is peer-to-peer, the name authentication service that is called when you initially connect is hosted by GameSpy. When this service is unavailable (as it was for a few days earlier this year), players are unable to connect to the multiplayer at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predxeno Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Are the Fear 2 servers really shutting down this week? I never wanted to spend 8+ hours for the platinum, but I always thought I would have the option whenever I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Yes they are. The developers/publishers don't give a damn and once GameSpy gets shutdown, you won't even be able to login to the un-Ranked servers as you'll get an error message and be kicked out back to the Main Menu . The minimum time to is 95hrs, the max is 200hrs+ so even with Mega Boosting, you'd never make it in the 5 days you have left . Edited May 26, 2014 by Terminator Fixed typo.

predxeno Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Ah, don't worry about it, even if the servers stayed on I probably wouldn't do it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterofsouls Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It's just stupid they can even put trophies like this in games. The only way to get them is to boost them. I bet it would take 600 plus hours to do it with out boosting. Plus when the servers close like this it destroys any chance to ever get the platinum. Know one has that much time to play one game and online trophies should be a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Without boosting, this is impossible as the only players left are boosters and elitist trolls that live to make boosters lives miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Can't you report trolls? Not in-game you can't, the online for FEAR 2 is so basic it's not funny . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predxeno Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I just find the report abuse form online and use that instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
