Battlefield 1942 (PC) - FREE DOWNLOAD @ Origin

Is the website buggered? I click on 'get it now' and nothing happens (IE, Chrome, FF, Opera).

****EDIT****

Worked ok from within the Origin client though.

Thanks OP!!! I find it odd that searching for "battlefield 1942" in Origin, doesn't return any results.

Thanks op. Playing Q3 and now this little beauty to add to my marriage woes (_;)
Off to park a tank in the aircraft hanger

the cool

Is there any widescreen resolutions?

Yeah, you'll have to manually alter the settings though but it's simple enough, there's a guide here: Widescreen/Resolution/FOV Fix

It's in the demos section but is the full game

I'm confused, EA giving away something, for free, that isn't a patch (they haven't worked out a system to charge for patches...yet). Hot from me, best BF game.

Probably love this game more than any other ever and been gaming since the Atari 2600 onwards ie - forever .

apparently the mods work with it. Desert Combat and Point Of Existence are the best. Got servers now, forgot i had peer blocker on (woops) 1790 players online. Oh yeah.

doesn't anyone play cricket any longer ?????

I don't like cricket. Oh no.

My god...how i loved BF 1942 vanilla, and the mods DC and Forgotten Hope...i played 1942 from 2002 until BF2 came out in 2005 then played them both....then after another year or two I just watched a lot of pron until BFBC2 ....then finally, a 3/4 months go on BF3....missing something that game imho.

Battlefield Vietnam and Bad Company were two great ones in the series you missed. And BC2 had a nice Vietnam addon too.

Quality game, that I whiled away many an hour on, my favourite was the mulitplayer Aberdeen map, one giant tank battle in the desert, to make it better this play on my 5 year old Dell D630 laptop

also says invalid cd key for me

Ohhhh! Don't get me wrong, I think BF3 is excellent, especially since upgrading my PC recently..

..but this is THE game that paved the way for large scale combat games! I don't think it would be healthy to know how many hours, days or... er (years?) I spent playing this game as a teenager. The game itself was great but so was it's massive selection of total conversion mods.

You had desert combat (not really my mod of choice, but I know it was very popular), interstate 82, a pretty decent star wars mod, siege medieval warfare, and my absolute favourite mod to this day BF PIRATES!!

There must be some ex pirates floating around HUKD? :-)

I was part of the fiercesome crew Swords Crossed.. and went by the name of [=SC=]Cap'n Redweed. I'd love to have a full server game of pirates again, as I honestly think nothing modern has filled its place.

(Although BF2 had a pirates mod I think Dice killed the real potential of it by removing the support of massive MOVEABLE ships.)

Yaahaarr! I'm waffling now, but either way this is a deal! Infact now it's free, I think it should be a legal requirement to try this game at least once.. hehe!

amazing deal ... heat added ... if only i could add more heat to this

Superhot!

Grabbed to bump up my BF Veteran standings.

Admin - Please move to freebies.

Worked for me, was on my way here to post it. I know this *technically* belongs in Freebies, but hope the mods will allow it to stay here for 24 hrs at least, as it's normally a charged for game.

damn was just about to post this! +heat

A Hot Deal, but you have to install the crapware that is Origin. A conundrum.....

it is the full game isn't it ?

Where abouts is it in Origin i search for it and nothing comes up look in Freebies also nothings coming up.

rough with the smooth Husain...it's BattleField and it's free! plus most games these days won't allow you to run them without the crapware. and to be fair they are improving.

Won't let me register?

Fantastic...played it so much but lost my cd case so am downloading....see you on the battlefield!

Why the hell not. It's an old game, but it's free.

Be aware it doesn't include the expansion packs.

Thanks, downloading now. Heat added.

Nice find, have heat!

is anyone still playing Desert Combat mod?

Thanks

any hints how to find these deals? there isn't a very easy way to search on the site =/

Do you mean how to find out about these deals, or just how to find battlefield itself?

The easiest way for me to install Battlefield was to go to the Origin site, and login with my origin details there, I had some trouble finding it on the Origin program. store.origin.com/sto…_GB

ahh brings back alot of good memorys. Desert Combat the mod for this was amazing and Point of Existence. Cant seem to find any MP servers though. Can anyone else?

Damn, I got all excited, but I have to download this crappy drm downloader to play it?

any good mods? i saw desert combat mentioned earlier

doesn't anyone play cricket any longer ?????

Thanks OP!

Great game used to play it on xbox 360 a lot
