Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.
I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.
wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.
Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."
This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.
Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game
I hope they make Bad Company 1 a digital download for the Playstation Store. BC2 was just released as a digital download around 3 weeks ago which is great since I'm all about downloads now.....the benefits of a 500 GB HDD on my PS3 :D
On another note, the Bad Company series is the best the Battlefield has to offer. The characters are some of my favorite characters of any game out there, and you can't beat the destructibility that Bad Company offers. Nothing like collapsing a house on a few enemies.
@BattleAxe
BF2 and 2142 are at the top of the series.
It was hard for me to classify BFBC as a true Battlefield game because 24 players was such a small number. The action was pretty sparce.
I enjoyed the single player though.
at the end of the day i had more with bad company then i did with battle field.. there both fun but i always went back to bad company
To each his own (and I'm sure no matter what Battlefield die hards will tear apart anything saying something good about Bad Company) but I enjoyed Bad Company 2. It had great skill in gun on gun play, plus people would hide in the hills and stuff all the time.
I love BF3, it just feels "easier" than Bad Company 2. That and they keep nerfing everything.....and no matter what, you always get people that learn how to fly in Battlefield and thats when I get turned away most of the time. When BF first comes out, people are getting used to it and learning the maps and getting the hang of flying. then they get good and your stuck running scared from the "elite" pilots in the sky, and it sucks.
(As a PC gamer I can see the hate for Bad Company, but as a console gamer Bad Company 2 was a better experience for me)
