[Console versions obviously]

Just pondering something here. I bought this game for £4 on Amazon (it hasn't arrived yet) and was wondering if they had shut down the multiplayer servers for it?

Any info on the matter would be greatly appreciated, duders!

Hopefully.

@jdh5153: Not the answer I was looking for.

I'm reading that people had trouble connecting in February but it's always possible they were just down so they could transfer over to Crytek.

@barrock: I'm kinda hoping that's the case. Thanks for your input, duder!

Last I heard they are down right now. They have been down for a couple weeks at least now. They used to do server maintenence every so often and they would go down for a few hours then come back up, last time they never came back up. THQ has commented saying they haven't shut them down but are in the process of porting it to Crytek, Crytek has said they have no plans to shut them down however since they don't have the servers yet they can't do anything about it. The servers were never really stable to begin with, people would drop from higher population matches all the time.

I'm guessing since Crytek bought it THQ aren't bothering to really find out what is going on with the servers. It's a waste of money to service a game they don't own, especially in the situation they are in. Whether or not they come back up is up to Crytek when they get full control, and if they can figure out what THQ have been doing to run the servers and what's happened to them. I think they will come back seeing as Crytek is working on Homefront 2, and pulling the servers for the original may give them some bad press before releasing the sequel.

@phr4nk0: Cool. Thanks very much for your info. Appreciate it.
