P781S Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Im trying to play the game but on the menu when it says "connecting to game servers" or something like this the game freezes, is it only with me or anybody else is having the same problem?

Remilia Scarlet Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if EA killed the servers to that game. It was poorly received and nobody plays it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashpool23 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 The servers have been long unresponsive. I played it around two years ago and it didn't work. Supposedly, you need an ancient access code from some 2008 EA games to even have a chance at playing online, that is if servers are still up.

freddie1989 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 You need a copy of certain games to access the servers I believe. Medal of honor airborne & the orange box both work if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was it. I think an Army of Two game also works. Not sure if it's the original one or 40th day though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medal of honor airborne & the orange box both work if I remember right. ^^This^^ You would need to use either one of those games, or older. Sign in with that older game online, accept the T&C, quit, then load up Mercs 2. Should be fine after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takara Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) As further information to the above you can also use Battlefield: Bad Company. (which can be had from Ebay for about £5 if you don't have it) Simply start up the game, head to online, accept the EULA if it comes up and that activates your "EA" account for access into online for BF:BC, Merc2 and a few other older EA titles. (I also joined a match on BF:BC just to confirm that the online was still up/working) I acquired the plat for this game nearly 4 months ago, I can't vouch for it still being up now but I'm hoping the work arounds above still work fine. Billion Dollar Babies was the trophy I was most concerned about, and I didn't want to start the game again without ensuring online actually functioned. (Also, I know it's a bit of an odd comment, but if you are trying for the plat and don't need any other online trophies besides Billion Dollar Babies then start your game, set your lobby to friends only in online options, then playthrough the game entirely. Make sure you don't disconnect from EA servers too when you're close for the trophy, I remember some people having problems with the money trophies because they weren't connected to EA at the time, and subsequently, missed out on the money trophies entirely / forcing unobtainable platinum) Edited June 18, 2015 by Takara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMask75 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yeah that was it. I think an Army of Two game also works. Not sure if it's the original one or 40th day though. It was the original Army of Two. Install and accept the license agreement, then Mercs 2 should work. But as mentioned, the online servers shut down years ago and they're necessary for some trophies. My friend loved the game and got the Plat, but my PS3 died and I never got to complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikiTheBestia Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Hi everyone, I resume this post just to help someone who has a freeze problem when starting the game. EA terms and conditions of a game prior to 2008 must be accepted. Currently a working method in 2022 is to launch Medal of Honor Airborne, the servers are still open. Once accepted, the game will works! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
