I can\'t believe that EA will not continue to support this great game. It really doesnt matter what games comes (battlefield series all junk) and go because many players who have played crysis have most always returned. You can see what the CryDevGameSpy is saying about this here: http://www.crydev.net/viewtopic.php?f=126&t=122192&start=75
A little history...
One of the best servers ever modded was the Noobhunters server on 1.2.1 version. All was saddened to see this server go. Even with GerCrysis server running on 1.2.1, Noobtrainer.com server dominated as the number one ranked server for almost two solid years. Yes, Noobtrainers, an american clan server was ranked number one for that long. I was senior admin for this server. How did we do this? ...lol...
Cry-marcels answer about closing:
Hey guys, I just had a brief chat with a colleague of Basti (both, funnily enough, are dear friends and ex-colleagues of mine). This seems to be the answer that EA Support and CMs are currently giving for any games for which EA has not yet announced anything specific itself (I think they only did so for some BF titles, but I am not 100% sure). That does not change the announcement that we have made.
Sorry, but I do not feel that it would be fair to let any hope grow, only to be disappointed all over again later.
EA-Bastian(community manager):
We\'re working on finding a transition but still have hurdles. We\'ll make an announcement when theres news to share.
Cheers
Basti
We may have or may not have a positive solution. Basti believes that even without gamespy server, dorect connection by IP will be possible. So dont go installing any patches yet...lol until you here the final verdict.
Best regards-
