"We're working on finding a transition, but still have technical hurdles to overcome. We will make an announcement when there is news to share."Original story follows:EA has confirmed that it is transitioning servers so that some games will remain playable after GameSpy's multiplayer services shut down after May 31.Though the company didn't announce a complete line-up or promise that every game will make the transition, it did commit to three Battlefield games in particular: Battlefield 2, Bad Company 2 , and Battlefield 2142.EA gave word on its Twitter account for Origin, in response to a question that asked specifically about those three games. "We're working on transitioning those games after the shut down so you'll still be able to play them," the company stated.When first asked for comment, EA did not respond to IGN. The list of GameSpy supported games shows plenty from EA throughout the years, but many are old or annualized releases and may not make the trip.Activision has already stated it won't be affected, while several other companies including Sega, Capcom, and Rockstar previously told us they are each researching solutions. Two notably big publishers, Ubisoft and 2K Games, have not yet issued a comment.
