Ranked Server Shut Down?
i heard this game was an easy 1k. i usually don't care for easy achievements but i needed a little something to play until modern warfare 2 comes out. so, i picked this game up at toys r us' buy 2 get 1 sale last week.

i finally got a group together for ranked achievements today and it seems the ranked servers are shut down. we searched for 2+ hours and there are no matches available. there are dozens of player matches however. all of us have the same results.

we searched around the internet trying to find some sort of answer and had no luck. the most recent post on their site regarding the servers was from april.

i checked to see the date of the most recently unlocked ranked achievements via trueachievements, and someone earned "top scorer" on october 23. that means the servers were up on friday. if i missed out on these achievements by a day i'm going to be so pissed.

the game has only been out a little more than a year so i can't imagine that the servers really were shut down. i mean, army of two's servers are still up and you know what the online population for that game is? zero.

please, can anyone tell me how to get in a ranked match?

The ranked servers lock after the round starts. I think there is only one ranked server now. Once the server is locked it disappears off the server list. Keep looking...it is out there.

i don't understand. there's only one server so you have to be in there before it starts? how will i find it if i keep looking? we all refreshed constantly for over two hours and found nothing.

Ya sounds about right. Once the match starts it locks. As far as I know there is only one ranked server now. They have had all the servers down today so maybe it was down too. Not sure. I haven't seen it in a week but I usually don't look for it. Either its full or there is nobody in it and it is just sitting there.

Re: Ranked Server Shut Down?
how could it constantly be full though? matches don't last 2 hours, do they?

i was just playing some more of the campaign and checked the server a couple of times. still nothing there.

Looks to me like all the servers are down except for 1-2.

yeah, i finally managed to find it a couple days ago and some hacker kept spawn killing us every match. he could not be killed. haven't seen it since. are there set days/times it's put up because this is just ridiculous.

All the kaos servers were down for the last couple of days. It seems like they are coming back online slowly.

not sure if you know since you only have 125g but it also doesn't appear if there is a game in progress. so you have to refresh for 30 minutes, which is also annoying as hell.

Haha that's me. Sometimes I forget to log out and post under this tag. Thats my clan leader tag. Kept filling my friends list up under this tag.

It sucks that there isn't a ranked server anymore. There was only one ranked and one conquer server for the last year and it looks like they are either dying slowly or are now gone. Ranked achievements are the only ones that i'm missing for this game. Hopefully you can find it. I wouldn't waste too much time waiting for it.

Re: Ranked Server Shut Down?
damn, well i wish i knew this before i got the game. pisses me off that now i won't be able to get this achievement.

is there an e-mail address or something where i can reach kaos? if they're still paying for the server why won't they just keep it up all the time.

whoo! finally got "top scorer." i started up my xbox with the intent to play grand theft auto, but decided to check the frontline server first. i was amazed when i saw it. i quickly sent out a message to all the frontline guys on my list. none of them responded though. i decided to join the match anyway and ask if they were boosting. no one answered me. next thing i knew the game started. somehow, they actually sucked more than me and i beat them. i had about 3x as many points as the guy in second place.

anyway, just feels good to get that achievement out of the way. i think the server's going to be shut down any day here.

Nah they are coming back online now. I saw one that had disappeared a couple of days ago back up and running today.
