| Thema: Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) Multiplayer geht offiziell wieder | Antwort auf: Die wichtigsten News der Welt von membran | |
| Hatte mich schon gewundert, warum da auf einmal ein 2 GB Patch für SW:BF2 bei mir reinrollte. Der Multiplayer ging seit dem Ende von Gamespy 2014 nicht mehr. [https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/10/multiplayer-officially-returns-to-classic-star-wars-battlefront-2/] Today, that game is Star Wars: Battlefront 2, the 2005 PC/console third-person shooter that should in no way be confused with Star Wars Battlefront II, the PC/console first/third-person shooter EA is releasing next month. In 2014, the older Battlefront 2's online gameplay was one of many victims of the Gamespy server shutdown, which affected dozens of PC titles as well as every game on Nintendo's Wii and DS consoles. Battlefront 2 players could still connect for online matches through third-party services like GameRanger, but these lacked true integration with the game's own online infrastructure. This week, though, has seen joint announcements on GOG and Steam that "the multiplayer function of Battlefront 2 has now been restored AND with added Crossplay support between GOG Galaxy and Steam to boot." Up to 64 players can play through player-hosted servers on the newly updated version of the game, which is currently available for just $4 in a GOG sale (or $10 on Steam). In the GOG forums, team member Konrad notes that "for BF2 we had access to the source code and Disney's full support" to help reinstate the online functions. He added that GOG would love to re-add online support for other GameSpy-powered games in the future, if "given the right opportunity." |
