Pretty sure it's not Activision that does COD WAW authentication.. thought it was Daemon or something like that?

daffy   its  DAEMON Tools - imaging software for all your needs ...

software for copying games.  

producers of WAW was image.png.0a0132f500e6664b18e98a92ba9d80c4.pngimage.png.0a0132f500e6664b18e98a92ba9d80c4.png

a Canadian   software company  was under  Microsoft / Activision  for the Xbox360 

PC WaW was Treyarch software  CoD2  was Infinityward, but still Activision controls player profiles on thier master server 

i tried Tryarch and was bounced to Activision  an  your game wasn't on thier list of support, so i guess EOL of CoD5

must do before they pull the plug on authentication server

calling you hackers, C++  coders 

need to find IP of authentication server in game files, then ftp the files to our server to mirror them and update our game files to look at our server  since Activison dropped the ball on support

I posted the URL after, got the name wrong it wasn't Daemon but DemonWare. In any case I wasn't discussing publisher or producer but the company behind the master server/authentication.

The Treyarch, DemonWare and Infinity Ward companies are owned/subsidiaries of Activision anyway..

Also, interesting that this article just came out touting WaW as the best of the COD series.  Not sure how credible the author is in this age of fake news though.

From what I can gather, people know about the issue as its effecting all COD 5 servers but, clearly they no longer want to support this and are hoping we just move to another platform. Sad really as there is a huge COD 5 following.

Wish they would address this or have the balls to acknowledge and say what their intentions are on way or another?

from that page a review

WaW is still my favorite game from the series. It just had so much, vehicle's, balanced weapons, game modes, levels that were laid out very well. They need to remaster it.

we all need to hammer that link with reviews cos Activision is playing numbers game, for PC market is left behind for console's are getting the attention 

also that page is The Facebook Comments Plugin enables visitors to easily have a discussion around your content. Improve engagement, increase time spent on site, and seamlessly moderate conversation all from one simple tool. SPAM the market IMHO

I would comment but unfortunately to post you have to login with Facebook it seems. Sorry, but I don't use Facebook to log into anything but Facebook. Hopefully this crap with activison will sort out sooner than later.

I dont even use Facebook at all and never will. So, that is that.

That said, it took months for Activision to sort out the cod4 master server problem. Or get around to it.

What cracks me up about this is it a sign of a very successful product!  12-13 year gaming platforms with this loyal of a mature adult following are, I would think relatively rare.  Take "Yes" for an answer Activision and cater to this market.  Plus we are more addicted and have more financial resources.  Geesh!

Nope thats wrong. They make games not for long term success. They make games they want to last 18 months top . They then release a new game . Thats how they make money not by keeping alive an old game that nobody is buying any more.

I agree with you.  My point though is that groups like XI for instance are not the audience that the new games are targeting.  Activision is trying to go for the bigger-better-faster- more thrills as they market to the younger players and the console gamers.  This group here represents an underserved market in that we prefer the older games that we feel were designed right within a historical context or whatever.  Activision still needs to recognize that the mature gamer is a viable market that they can serve...whether through new maps, server hosting, rebooting old titles, whatever.  We have market share!

For some, at least those that care about such things, it also goes to reputation. They dont have to support an old game with updates or patches and such. Nor any new anti-cheat measures. That by itself isnt exactly cheap.

And here we have UT2K4 back. Going on 17 years old but Epic keeps the activation/master servers going anyway since UT has always been its prestige title in the companies history. Their state-of-the-art game engine is Unreal after all. Wouldnt make sense to stop spending a tiny amount of money, in a company that earns several billion a year, to shut its namesake off. Its not as though anyone actually buys the game anymore either. Steam still sells CoD4. Dunno about 5 but the writing has always been on the wall for 4 and the thought is that their shutdown of the master server was an attempt to kill the game that backfired.

Maybe in that particular case its because there is already a community run master server that would take its place if they did so. Albeit with an unofficial patch. Would make for an interesting story in the gaming press (or more so in social media) if the big bad corporation shut it down, over money, but players kept it going anyway on their own. Might suggest that for newer titles they really arent needed as much as they say they are.

Great points!  I just have to imagine that Activision could figure out how to profit on active, loyal gaming clans like XI that want to play the old titles.  I find it surprising that Activision is just not clever enough how to market this angle is all or that they have deemed it a "not profitable enough" effort.
