From the minute you open GameSpy you are bombarded with advertising from developers hawking their latest games, which becomes rapidly tiresome. The drawbacks can be summarised in two words – advertising and resources.
#GAMESPY MASTER SERVER HALO PATCH#
This also includes a handy patch section to keep your games updated. For those that simply like to keep abreast of the latest games, GameSpy also offers DemoSpy - a daily updated list of the latest releases, supplied to them by FilePlanet which saves you registering with the latter. Just select the type of game you want to play and GameSpy Arcade will download data from and ping only those servers. Popular dedicated-server games like Half-Life have literally thousands of game servers available and SmartSpy helps you pinpoint the best one for you in a matter of seconds. The other key feature of GameSpy is a searchable server filter (SmartSpy) which enables you to find the right server for the game you want in seconds.

You can also send an instant message, start a voice conversation or send a game invite. If you fancy dropping in on their action, just click on their location to be instantly taken there. You can see which chat room they are in and what game they are playing. The key feature of GameSpy is the Buddy List, which means you’re almost always guaranteed someone online to play with or against (depending on how many buddies you’ve got of course!) Using an engine called ‘PlayerSpy’, it gathers together all those friends that are online. All the major games such as Counter-Strike and Age of Empires are supported. After installation, the program scans your PC for any installed games you have and lists those which are GameSpy compatible.
