I dont play any of those games currently but I know plenty of people will be pissed about Aliens vs Predator 2. Lots of people still play that game online.

This is why I do not want to have to rely on a game companies servers for playing MP. I know with MMOs we have no choice, but with games that are not MMOs, sucks for the people who still play those games. Maybe someone will come up with some kind of server emulator or virtual server.

gamespy works fine


but ya mechwarrior for example someone mad a diffrent server and you connected to it. This is a big issue for many games hence why generic ones seam a decent idea. tho come to think of it westwood is gone how would you do red alert2 games especialy considering they released all games in 1 big set a while back which I have and should isntal again as I LOVe the res alert series fun story lines and fun weapons.
