Normally for some games we use Gameranger or Tunngle, but they don't support every game.

Operation Flashpoint: Resistance

and

Arma: Cold War Assault

I'm working on a solution this game (For me it is still one). It involves two programs that i developed:

1) PowerServer, my master server application that may (and hopefully will be hosted by some community members)

2) OFPMonitor, a client tool for getting the server list from them, and much more.

Does anyone know if there will be a workaround for Crysis 1/2? Or Halo?
