If you were considering getting into Chromehounds, this'll either motivate or discourage you.

See this is why some games should stay away from online achievements. I mean if you are going to shut down a server all it's going to do is keep people away from the game in my opinion.

This game is mainly multiplayer, meaning the achievements are mainly multiplayer...the decision to shut down the servers is a complete disrespect to the achievement loving community.

It's just Sega making Sega-grade decisions. They'll use the savings on CH servers to release a new 3D Sonic title that sells 14 copies in North America.

D Fineout said:The next Sonic game is supposedly returning to its 2D roots, so hopefully it can reclaim some of its former glory.

Back on-topic. This news makes me sad .

The potential for servers to be shut down is another reason I'm against online achievements.

Thank you, Chromehounds, for helping my point. Oh, but no thanks for sucking.

Ack! More and more servers being shut down... They need to just stop with MP achievements.

I can't really see anyone really getting into Chromehounds. But instead of using Sega's own servers, they could always switch to the MS matchmaking and p2p multiplayer. It would do MS good if they'd enforce that on games that have multiplayer.

Well it looks like chromehounds is gonna be joining tiger woods 06 in the games with impossible cheevs group
