Deer Hunter & Risk: Global Domination for PS2 Back Online!

Post by FreddY »

After quite a bit of tweaking by FreddY, Favrenation and CHC, the following Atari games are now back online for PS2!

Deer Hunter
Risk: Global Domination


How is this possible?
The online servers for both of these games remain online, maintained by GameSpy. Somewhere along the line, it seems that Atari did not opt to renew online support with GameSpy for both Deer Hunter and Risk: Global Domination. As evidenced by this thread at the official Atari Forums, matchmaking services were discontinued for both of these games, essentially rendering them terminated. What we have done is restored matchmaking services for both of these games so that players are seamlessly able to connect to them online!

Here is a quote concerning the discontinuation of GameSpy support for Risk: Global Domination (and consequently, Deer Hunter) for PS2:
Joost Schuur, Developer Support Manager, IGN Entertainment wrote:Atari did not opt to renew support for this particular title with GameSpy. Matchmaking services for it have been discontinued.
Here is an image of FreddY and Favrenation playing Deer Hunter online together:

In order to play online, just set your Primary DNS Server in your PS2 Network Configuration to EITHER one of these:

99.198.122.113
(Openspy.net DNS 1 hosted by Openspy.)

or

199.195.251.151
(DNS 1 hosted by Bobz of BobzEnt.info; The DNS server number occasionally changes, so if you are having trouble please check BobzEnt.info and compare DNS 1 to what you have saved on your memory card)
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

If you have this game and would like to schedule a time to play, reply to this thread or post a topic over in the Game Scheduling section.

Be sure to spread the word.

Special thanks to FreddY, Favrenation and CHC for re-enabling matchmaking services for Deer Hunter and Risk: Global Domination.

If you want to buy the game you are welcome too but it is a hunting game and no one on this site takes it seriously. The player count will most likley be very low. If you are looking for games that will have the most people sine you are new I would advise to stick with the shooters and the games that were posted in the thread you made. I just don't want you to buy the game and then not have anybody to play it with.

Thats cool :) I was buying it more or less to just own a hunting game. I already own BF2, cod2, and area 51 so I think I'm ready for you guys online lol. And getting blitz tonight I think. Debating on SWBF2, but since I'm a big SW fan I should, just not sure. Was looking into syphon filter and flatout also

Good job on risk... not sure I want to congratulate you about deerhunter hah. Oh well, I guess I need to try deerhunter again since it works online now. And for some reason the image capture of Freddy and Favrenation in the game looks really funny to me.
