People shouldn't leave stuff until the last minute.

Why not, I actually like doing this as I am then one of the last few people and sometimes the last person to earn the trophy/trophies.

Not very productive auto boosting when it comes to this game.

I can't even remember how this game works, is it one of those where you need active players?

Yeah idling won’t do anything as it’s a 4 player coop shooter

you can solo the maps if you’re decent enough but a team makes it far easier

Not to mention some trophies tied to being in a syndicate with people

Unless you are level 30 you will struggle to solo anything. 

 

The shield and dart combo with a maxed shotgun and backfire is essential.

EA have never been able to tell date or time. Warfighter was 7 days late closing. 

[HuntingFever]

What is the current status of the servers?

Thank you for the info .

[MATTKBAN]

Even now and players have reached CEO today and will soon. Awesome awesome!

 

There are many reasons to dislike EA and the big 3 publishers- EA has the better side of things when it comes to server closures. Syndicate sales should have had this game offline within the first year.

Anyone always hear a child’s voice when it’s the same complaining language over and over? Just saying. It follows every game of theirs.

[Mr_Tenno777]

Servers are up as of 3:58 PM GMT-5. Will most likely last a few more days like the reboot Medal of Honor games did before they closed the multiplayer.

Well… I just turned off the PS3 now and I’ve been helping other players with the co-op mode all day.

 

Today is Monday, June 19, 2023 at 23:25 UTC+2 and I confirm that the servers still run perfectly.
 

Just hurry up if you still have something to finish the online trophies, because the closure can happen at any time…

That’s relative. Playing the cooperative mode alone with two PS3 systems can be very advantageous if you don’t have anyone to play with...

 

Using your two PS3 systems and two accounts, you do the following:

 

• You create a private room with the account you are going to use to get the trophies.

 

• You invite your secondary account to that room.

 

• You start a game in normal difficulty —one star— on the first mission —Western Europe— and clean the first area with your main account, leaving only the mounted weapon of the tank active.

 

• With your secondary account, you climb the wall near the tank and let the mounted weapon damage the character.

 

• With your main account, at the same time that your secondary account is being continually injured, you dedicate yourself to healing your secondary account.

 

Doing what I have described above, you can upgrade an account from level 1 to level 30 in just over an hour and you can complete the missions, completely alone, in all the difficulties: normal, hard and expert.

 

You can also use that method to level up all your investigations, both weapons and applications.

 

Conclusion: using two PS3 systems in this game is a good option if you have no friends; and if you know what you have to do, of course.

Finally, Matt!! Good news here! (=

 

Today I was helping Demon to get everything he was missing and he already has 100% of the cooperative mode.

 

Fortunately, EA didn’t close the servers on the scheduled date of June 15, since as of June 19 the servers are still open and working perfectly.

 

☆☆☆

 

As for the bad reputation of EA in general terms... although it’s true that they have always done many questionable things, Mirror’s Edge and Syndicate are two of my favourite games from the PS3 catalog.

 

As you said, «Syndicate sales should have had this game offline within the first year» and we should be grateful for having been able to enjoy this coop mode for all these years. Despite being a game that went completely unnoticed from the day it was released until today, it’s very fun and it’s very well done.

 

I continue to play solo private games in expert difficulty throughout the nine missions and it never bores me. And when I want to change the pace, I join public games and help all kinds of players.

 

As you and I have already talked about, the Syndicate multiplayer reminds me of my good times helping hundreds of players in the cooperative modes of Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3.

 

A real shame that Syndicate ceases to exist forever as soon as the servers are closed, but I will always remember it with affection.

[Ghost-Zeus514]

so its gone now for good

[Mr_Tenno777]

The servers are officially down. There is the single player for those who did the coop trophies and those who are interested in playing the single player, but the platinum is now unobtainable. Any who puts the game onto their trophy list will only be able to earn the offline stuff from now on.

Awesome news for Demon! I forgot to message you earlier about his progress - the Wall on the co-op menus mentioned you two were playing a lot the past two days. What a success story and thank you for being the man with the help 8))

 

I helped a little in public games. Often players kicked me. So sad 8(

 

Thats great again to hear how much you loved Sybdicate!  I’m still surprised so many people get over the freezes and issues the game has and still speak highly of it. Not many games can pull that off.

 

hopefully we can enjoy another co-op game together as much. When there is a game like that, trophies take a backseat hehe

It has been a real pleasure for me to help so many people in Syndicate. An excellent cooperative mode to which I have had the privilege of being able to play and take with me very good times, friendships and memories. Yours between them, Matt! =)

 

And, as I already said minutes ago in your dedicated Discord server:

 

Quote

What a bad thing to start the day… ?

 

I would have liked to do one last pass through New England, my —Mirror’s Edge like— favourite mission. Running, sliding, executing and shooting frenetically…

 

At least I am relieved to know that yesterday I was playing all day until late at night. I’m going to miss this game a lot... as well as Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3, The Last of Us, Killzone 2, Ace Combat Infinity… and a few more games of which I keep very good memories playing online.

Rest in peace, Syndicate.
February 21, 2012 - June 20, 2023

As you say in the last paragraph of your comment, hopefully we will meet again in another cooperative mode that is, at least, a tenth of how good Syndicate was.

 

I’ll be starting the single player in Binary Domain this morning, to try to fill the gap that Syndicate has left... So, if you feel like it, we can soon experience the cooperative mode in Binary Domain together for the first time, Matt!
