Update to EA and the GameSpy server shutdown as EA states they haven't been able to create a fix to let older Battlefield games keep their online multiplayer after May 31st.

Quote:
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.
Also includes both Star Wars: Battlefront I & II since they now own the rights to the series.
