I thought they closed Mercenaries 2: World in Flames several years ago, about a year after launching it!
Great game!
I'm sure it was a story on here but I can't find it.
Found this, from Feb 2010, announcing the March 2010 closure...
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ea-closing-mercs-2-lotro-conquest-serversAs of March 16th this year, you'll no longer be able to play a multiplayer or co-op round of a game that's been out for just seventeen months. This is part of another wave of EA gaming shutdowns that includes games barely a year old,
I guess they hated providing a MP service of a game I bought, so much, that they have decided to kill it off a second time.
Just to make sure!
