    yup I wasn't expecting hawk 2 to be in the list, and with the one being delisted this week that one makes sense

    Well luckily they didnt shut down any of the other Tom Clancy game servers I havent yet started (HAWX 2 not one of them)...but still, so many much older titles still have their servers running...for sure running servers is not free, I understand that, and for most part these games MP are all but dead, but you would think Ubisoft could atleast leave some kind of backup server running there, surely they could afford some kind of cheap solution, but apparently not..

    4 weeks notice for some fairly old games is nothing I will complain about, but does anyone know what happened with Forgotten Wars?

    Already done The Cartel but haven't started Bound in Blood yet. I've put up 2 sessions for those interested, will be enough to finish them.

    HAWX 2 anyone? I have no idea how this ended up on my tag, must have played it at someone else's house, but I re-purchased it 2 weeks ago to recover my completion %age and now this happens laugh

    Might set up a session soon. *Session Deleted*

    Really hate that Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is on my tag. This might be a situation in which I know the servers are closing, but I'm going to do absolutely nothing about it. Just not worth it to have to waste my limited free time playing a game I find so unpleasant.

    Shame about the Call Of Juarez games, they weren't too bad at all.

    Only got GRAW 1 on my card and I'll never finish it. Not sure what to do about GRAW 2. Has the DLC been de-listed for this game? Damm leaderboards for GRAW 1. Wish they made the achievements life easier. Single match = Pop achievements.

    Only what just gets me with these games is sure they're shutting down all of these, but the question is all of these peer-to-peer? Only because I'm guessing Call Of Juarez 1, GRAW 1 & HAWX 1 are peer-to-peer. You would have thought Ubisoft would strike them first.

    Anyway guess I'll put Ubisoft as the next rival with 2K Sports.

    Also has the PS3 Version of these games had server shutdowns already?

    Thankfully got all the ones I wanted in preparation of this, no-one minds HAWX 2 being shutdown it was shit.

    GRAW 2 though has been rumoured for a while yet never seen it shutdown. Seems like a false flag, if it is getting shutdown then Ubisoft can say goodbye to getting money for a while.

    Future Soldier was terrible and Wildlands seems to be following on from that level of rubbish. Without Co-op elimination, Ghost Recon is dead to me.

    Also the GRAW 2 list is missing all the co-op achievements.

    Also for HAWX 2:
    Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2Peripheral visionThe Peripheral vision achievement in Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2 worth 224 pointsFly faster than mach 2 for 60 minutes in story mode.

    Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2No restrictionsThe No restrictions achievement in Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2 worth 158 pointsIn story mode, fly for 60 minutes in Assistance OFF.


    Need Co-Op Story which uses live if you do not complete during your first run of the story.

    Also need a group for:
    Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2Still aliveThe Still alive achievement in Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2 worth 177 pointsComplete any of the Survival mode maps.

    Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2Team playThe Team play achievement in Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2 worth 71 pointsComplete any story mission in coop.


    For Bound in Blood:
    Call of Juarez: Bound in BloodGoldrush!The Goldrush! achievement in Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood worth 219 pointsCollect a total of $1 000 000 (ranked play counts) to unlock golden weapons in multiplayer.

    Call of Juarez: Bound in BloodOn the Right TrackThe On the Right Track achievement in Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood worth 99 pointsCollect a total of $200 000 (ranked play counts) to unlock silver weapons in multiplayer.


    Do not do those in SP.

    GRAW 2:
    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2Ultimate DefenderThe Ultimate Defender achievement in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 worth 158 pointsWin a 60 minute Co-op Defend match on any map
    (Gather as many people as you can and sit comfortably)

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2Perfect Co-op CampaignThe Perfect Co-op Campaign achievement in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 worth 117 pointsComplete all Co-op Campaign Missions without failing an objective, no respawns, on default or hard
    (Net you a few achievements, again go in with max players)

    Co-op 1
    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2Clever RetortThe Clever Retort achievement in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 worth 30 pointsCo-op Collection match, get a grenade kill while you are incapped or dead. Minimum 5 players.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 22-point SwingThe 2-point Swing achievement in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 worth 49 pointsIn a GRAW 2: CC CTF match with 5+ players, recover your stolen flag and score in a single run.

    Co-op 2
    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2Color GuardThe Color Guard achievement in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 worth 48 pointsKill 3 enemies as flag carrier in a GRAW 2: Co-op Collection CTF match. Minimum 5 players.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2PistoleerThe Pistoleer achievement in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 worth 53 pointsKill 6 or more enemies with a pistol in a single match on a GRAW 2: CC map with 5+ players.

    is there anywhere on this website to check list of current games with servers being shut down?

    I generally keep an up to date list on the site but it has gotten a bit dusty lately:

    The servers for CoJ the Cartel were shut down on PS3 a few years ago- but you don't need their servers to play online- it's peer to peer. I expect it's the same on Xbox- you just can't connect to uplay anymore.

    I'd still be up for playing some Bound in Blood, GRAW2, and, to and, lesser extent, Hawx 2 just in case.
