Someone at EA has been drinking....

seems like Origin is not doing well

[metalcraze 290]

It's not the first old game EA releases for free - see C&C1 and RA1

The problem is of course that by now probably nobody plays 1942 so it's kinda... pointless?

I played today and there are dozens of servers that are at 64/64 players.

[jblackrupert 14]

The demo is still very active as well.

Still not going to let Origin on my PC.

Played yesterday, was fun.

Yeah - it's free so people will naturally try it out for a week or two because of this interest spike. It will die out soon.

Nothing ever will be free on Origin; it costs your personal rights ...

I've got teamkilled more then I got killed by the enemy.. but when it's good it's good :)

While I hold the same opinion, can we please not turn this thread into another "Origin suxx" thread?

[Flash Thunder 10]

Just download this program

then you can enjoy your free game!

:D

Always investigate a free product, nothing is usually free without a string being attached somewhere.

Stay on topic guys :)

Is there a way to keep the menu in windowed mode, while you play the game in fullscreen?

Battlefield 1942 is one of my favourite games of all time. Easily my favourite Battlefield game; I've no time at all for any of the others. Who needs ranks and squads? Just jump in. Create your own Commando-Comic stories on those beautiful 64-player El Alamein servers.

Origin is no more intrusive than Steam. The whole thing about accessing your data has been removed a long time ago.

Now please shut up about it.

I got my BF2 complete collection for the tougher periods in life. Funny thing, trying to play the Special Forces expansion online causes the game to accuse me of being a pirate and, I quote: "[to] Buy a real copy of the game, follow this link."

So much about that. :/

[slatts 1978]

I have the complete edition too, for years until they releases EF and AK for free, I could never play op. Smoke Screen. Also recently I can't play on some servers after being accused oof cheating so now I'm global banned from servers running GCC (I think)

[Gunter Severloh 3949]

Same here.

Although I think Forgotten hope 2 is better

new update for it.

It's not properly registered with the master server, you need to get support to do it manually.

Same problem happened with Northern Strike for Battlefield 2142.

Even better Project Reality ;)
