    F1 2012, Race Stars and NFL 20 for me, thanks for the heads-up.

    I ordered all of them last night if anyone wants to boost. I think you need an online code for f1 2011 and 12. So gotta buy a sealed copy. I’ll even boost the ones with discontinueds

    F1 race stars is awesome, glad I picked up the DLC before it got removed.

    With f1 being codemasters I suspect that since EA acquired codemasters they may be shutting down more older codemaster games.

    Here are some potentials on the 360
    Body count
    Operation flashpoint
    Dirt
    Grid

    Just keep that in mind!

    Grid is what I fear the most, being an online pain…

    Horseshit that they won’t even fix the unobtainable achievement in micro machines. They released a patch shortly when the game came out and broke the achievement in the update and people flooded the codemasters forums about it and they knew it was an issue and then decided to not fix it and erase all the forum posts

    This is shitty. Also, Playstation's licensing just ended with WB and now they're removing movies and shows from the service, even if people paid for them, with no refunds. A big reminder of why physical media is so important and why these companies are scumbags.
    I'm just a guy, staring at each new Rockstar update, asking it to be single player DLC...

    I'm glad I got the online done in 2011 a few weeks ago, figured they'd shut the servers sooner or later. On to 2013's co-op campaign next I guess.

    Also, I noticed 2011 co-op achievementa don't have the online flag, can you do them split-screen or something?
    Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?

    Nasty work. 2011 and 2012 require online passes and the only ones left are in UK or Asia. 2013 and 2014 are like $50 on eBay.

    Also madden 20 is super easy, probably 1 hour at most to finish online and no skill required...

    Since we are looking at games just published, not developed, by codemasters (Like Bodycount) You forgot

    Overlord 1 and 2
    Fuel
    Damnation
    SWOS
    Turning Point, Fall of Liberty


    I don't think EA got the rights to these, or Bodycount, however. I could be totally wrong so adding these here.

    Grid and Dirt, particularly Grid, is where the people who wait until server shutdowns are announced to start games should look towards.

    I need to do the 35 races in 2012. I was playing F1 2022 yesterday morning, literally thinking about how great Codemasters was about keeping up their serveres...and what would happen to them now that EA owns them. Less than 12 hours later I got my answer.....

    I think Turning Point is peer to peer but I can't say definitively.

    I am surprised that Battlefield 3 has not appeared on this list. It is the next one to potentially go after the ones that get shut down on Friday.

    Hey there is also a stack for F1 2011 F1 2011 (GFWL) Achievements

    Also you cannot play F1 2011 or F1 2012 without the online pass code.
