- Included in this are the following Battlefield titles:
- Battlefield 1942 (PC, Mac) (Including Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WWII expansions)
- Battlefield 2 (PC) (Including Special Forces expansion)
- Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (PS2)
- Battlefield 2142 (PC, Mac) (Including Northern Strike expansion)

EA had mentioned that they were working on a potential work around for some of the titles affected. Unfortunately, their latest update on that fix does not sound promising.
Since GameSpy’s announcement, our teams have been working to evaluate options to keep services up and running. Unfortunately, due to technical challenges and concerns about the player experience, we do not have a solution at this time. Online services for EA games on the GameSpy platform will be closed down at the end of June.
We know some of these games are still fan favorites, including Battlefield 2, Battlefield 1942, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Command & Conquer games. We are still investigating community-supported options to preserve online functionality for these titles, such as multiplayer. Significant technical hurdles remain, and at this time we don’t have anything to announce.

If you want to enjoy one last bit of nostalgia before the plug is pulled for good, you have about a month and a half left to do so. The complete list of titles that will no longer have any online component come June 30, 2014 can be found below.
