You can get all those games on disc .

Fat Princess uses Gamespy too, am I right?
It appears to use Gamespy on PS3 to store match videos. I'll check tonight to see if the logo is still there or was removed in the patch.
There's no mention anywhere of Gamespy being used for matchmaking.
Looking at the GameSpy page, it's possible only the PS3 version uses it.
I wouldn't worry about Halo CE, most of games happening still are on several clans own dedicated servers, what goes down is the server browser. The game has a direct IP option which you can use instead to connect to whatever server, playing p2p was pretty awful anyway. Battlefield 2 is pretty much same I think.

The page explicitly mentions the PS3 version, which I use. Guess it's different on different platforms.

Well this sucks
Lol it looks like it does in fact connect to gamespy servers in some way. "Did not know what the fuck I was talking about" indeed...
Irony is a sweet friend indeed
Yet, people are playing online right now.
oop aww
If this affected anything, it means the cloud storage of replays is gone. Which not many people really care about.

Dont a ton of people still play project reality?!
It wasnt great but it was still playable and fun.
Err, May isn't over yet.
Sure, but It doesn't use gamespy for online play.
Shit, I think you're right. Nintendo WFC was partially based on Gamespy, so they couldn't keep those games online any more even if they wanted to since nearly all of them are too old to patch.
This is all Glu and IGN's fault. (The former for the actual shutdown, the latter for selling Gamespy to them.)
All you're doing is hopefully speculating to the contrary of the evidence posted
More speculation. Again, if you want to post something contrary to my original post that GGPO is networking tech rather than actual server hosting then do so. Otherwise, nothing you are posting is more than useless speculation at best or driveby crap at worst.
Yes, knew there had to be a good reason to shut down everything. The mystery is solved.

Real damn shame that pretty much everything that came before Steamworks became popular used Gamespy, now we get to deal with the pleasure of pretty much everything being shut down until someone can come up with a new master-server.

Is there a master list somewhere of all games that used Gamespy? PC and console?
Yeah, this. If GFWL and OGXB online are anything to by the 360's days are numbered too, except that'll be even worse as it'll be a system wide shutdown vs a game-by-game thing like this.
I still frequently play it too.
At least I can still play LAN.
So basically back to original Xbox style pre-PC release? heh
I'm more sad about Phantom Dust, personally. But yeah, none of these services are lasting forever.
I think you're right

Hmm I do like options. SR2 co-op was really good too

Yeah, this makes a lot more sense now. It just seemed so "un-Nintendo" for them to just shut down online for games that only released a few years ago.
pretty done

It's already dead. I tried to play the other day and there was four people playing online.
Still absurd that a game I bought last August won't even work online anymore if I wanted to play with a friend. I'd ask WB and Boon to fix it but they don't give a shit about PC and never even patched it to begin with. Last time I buy a fighting game on PC for sure. Pathetic support all around.
