Can anyone help me with some info about gamespy?

i didn't really see a description of it on it's website. i want to play call of duty and battlefield 1942 on there. does gamespy offer more maps and mods? or is it just more servers or both? also with the $10 a month you pay are you just paying for the servers? or can you just download that game to play online?

Gamespy, lovingly known by gamers by a variety of names, Lamespy, Gayspy, F*#king Stupid piece of Sh~t, etc...

It is just servers, they run games, badly, causing a whole host of connection issues, lag, and downright shoddy service.

You get ur maps from other sites.. I don't play CoD or Battlefield but found these in a quick search

The $10 a month? Really thats bad... Maybe you'll get a better service than Dawn of War then, that's free! Is it a rolling story? Or do they release new levels/stories each month? Mayby thats why you pay?
