It would stupid of them to maintain a server for a game with hardly anyone on it while a new game suffers online congestion; better to retire the old game and put the server to good use on a new title.

Just sayin'...

i agree 100%
BF2MC has been out since 2006 or so......time to retire it.

im a fan of when madden 12 or nba 2k12 come out to shut down the previous games servers within a month of a new game release.
either play the new game online or play the old ones OFFLINE ONLY
