The result is the BF2Hub Client which did a decent job spreading news and updates to the community.

Once GameSpy shuts down it should release an update which gives you the ability to switch to the BF2Hub network.
#Ea bringing back battlefield 2 servers software
The decision was to give the community a program that would announce and provide software updates as well as important information messages. The first thought was about information and software distribution management. Later we included BF2 Special Forces as the community requested it and it did not severly impact the development. Since the deadline was not too far in the future, we decided to only focus on solely replacing GameSpy for Battlefield2. The transition was aimed to be completely transparent upon the shutdown of the GameSpy online services. The ambitious goal was to replace GameSpy for Battlefield2 with little to no effort for the players, server admins and server providers and to retain the integrity of existing/established systems (same names, same profile IDs, same CD-Key hashes, same Punkbuster GUIDs). With EA's statement around mid of May 2014 the BF2Hub project was started by to keep Battlefield2 alive after the GameSpy shutdown. The community has put a lot of effort in bringing complex software and hardware systems to life which mimic the operational behavior of the affected GameSpy online services.
As you might probably know EA had announced the end online functionality on 30th June 2014 for EA games that use GameSpy.Ĭommunity projects like BF2Hub emerged to give Battlefield2 fans a chance to play their game after the shutdown day as if there never was any shutdown.
