We’re here to be the bearer of bad news for those who are still playing some of the old Battlefield games, as EA has announced that Battlefield: Bad Company 1 and BC2, Battlefield 1943 and even Mirror’s Edge are all sunsetting (servers shutting down) this December 8, 2023!

The announcement from EA also states that these three titles will be pulled from all digital storefronts and will no longer be purchasable on April 28, 2023.

Starting April 28 2023, Battlefield 1943, Battlefield: Bad Company 1 & 2 and Mirror’s Edge will be removed from digital storefronts and you will no longer be able to purchase them. This is in preparation for the retirement of the online services for these titles which will happen on December 8 2023. For Bad Company 1 & 2 and Mirror’s Edge, you can still continue playing them and use their respective offline features, such as the single player campaign. You can also read our FAQ and Service Updates for further information on the retirement of online services.

Thankfully, offline modes will still be playable at the very least — though that’s still a hard blow for multiplayer fans — especially since some Battlefield players consider Bad Company 2 as the best multiplayer experience for the franchise.

If you know anyone who’s a Battlefield game fan, let them know about this. Play BC2 and even BF1943’s multiplayer as much as you can, we just have a few short months to savor it before they’re gone forever (outside of the modding scene).

Which ever number . it will remain 18 years of the best times
but as you know once the dedi servers got scrapped it all went south IMHO

Just makes me sad the way its gone tbh PDT_Armataz_01_16

Battlefield 2042 is reportedly in ‘abandon ship’ mode as EA switches focus to the next series entry

Battlefield 2042‘s DLC is being worked on by a “skeleton crew” as the majority of the Battlefield team moves to the next game in the series, it has been claimed.

Speaking on his premium Giant Bomb show Grubbsnax (transcribed by VGC), journalist Jeff Grubb said EA is attempting to fulfil the game’s promised DLC using as few resources as possible so that it can focus on the next Battlefield game.

“This game is basically down to a skeleton crew. It’s down to like the bare bones and those people are specifically just working on the promised additional seasons that the game needs to meet the requirements of the high-end version that it sold,” said Grubb, who described the situation as “abandon ship time”.

EA has committed to releasing four seasons of live service content for Battlefield 2042 over the course of a year.

“The skeleton crew is working to pump that stuff out the fastest and the cheapest it possibly can,” Grubb said.

He then said the reason for this is that EA is currently in pre-production for the next Battlefield game.

“They’re doing this to move everyone on to the new Battlefield as fast as possible,” he claimed. “The real core crew of Battlefield developers are already working on that.”

EA announced on Monday that it will release Battlefield 2042 Season 1, which is titled Zero Hour, on June 9.

Zero Hour introduces a new Specialist called Ewelina and a new weapon in the form of her rocket launcher. It also adds stealth helicopters and a new mountainous map called Exposure, which is set in and around a Canadian research facility after a landslide has exposed its interior.

Season 1 was originally scheduled to launch in early 2022 but it was delayed to the summer so that developer DICE could focus on bringing the base game up to scratch following its troubled launch.

DICE recently confirmed that it plans to stop making new content for Battlefield 2042’s Hazard Zone mode. While it will remain playable and the studio will continue to address any critical issues that arise, future maps and content won’t be supported in Hazard Zone.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson claimed in May that the company remained committed to Battlefield 2042 for the long-term.

“This is one of the great franchises of our industry, built by one of the great teams in the industry, and our expectations are it’s going to continue to grow and be a really important part of our portfolio for many, many years to come,” he said.

In December, EA announced its intention to create a “connected Battlefield universe” alongside widespread changes to the franchise’s development structure.

As part of these plans, DICE general manager Oscar Gabrielson left EA altogether, while Respawn and Infinity Ward co-founder Vince Zampella took on a new role as the overseer of the entire Battlefield franchise.

Halo designer Marcus Lehto is also leading a new Seattle studio whose aim is to add more meaningful narrative to the Battlefield series.

And all before ive even got it PDT_Armataz_01_08

The only wierd thing about the whole build is !
the ram is just plain old pcb no heat sinks or fancy ally covers
so i said
" do you want some nice blue covers to keep the temps down and just to make it look a bit nicer."
...She says .. "will it make it faster ?"
...no i said "just make it look better through the window !"
...She says .. "why would i want to look at the insides ?"

must be just me PDT_Armataz_01_12

She has been playing some crappy game with her friends and they had been slagging of the DDR2 in her system (cheeky bleeders) so she wanted an upgrade .
decided to go halfs with her on a new HD just for storage some ram and new cpu.

Ordered a Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Desktop Hard Drive 3.5" 7200RPM off ebay
and wierdly they sent a 4TB WD red drive for a NAS for just 40 quid.. should have been 80 odd ,
its a bit slower than the barracuda but its only for storage so all good.

Got 8GB of corsair DDR3 for 19.99
and a Core 2 Quad Q9650 @ 3gz base clock ...fastest cpu that would fit for 44 quid ..im sure they were well over 800 quid back in the day

still waiting for the cpu coming from china but with the new ram it flys for an old system

no :) but im seriously considering it
im just a bit concerned everyone will be sick of it by the time i buy :D

£ 17.55 now ! PDT_Armataz_01_12

Down again to £22.88
TBH, I'm 50:50 regards getting this game. As much as it would be a shame to miss one of the series, everywhere I look people are slating it
and I can't really think of a good reason to buy it

I almost bought it today for 24.0482 GBP with discount
but after watching a vid totally slating it i decided against it.
Is it really as crap as a lot are saying ?

wont happen today , been laid out on sofa all day with a pulled shoulder and i think it expires today anyway PDT_Armataz_01_07

Still havnt got the full game ... there was some sort of try for free thing with steam.
shit thing is you can only play with bots as far as i can tell and only one map PDT_Armataz_01_16

Prices dropping like flys

£29.68 for origin key now PDT_Armataz_01_12
