   I've got bad news for a certain, uh, vocal portion of our readership: you might have a reason to not completely hate Origin. I’m kidding myself – obviously you’ll hate Origin no matter what forever and ever. I know you, young man. But you’ll still go and get your free copy of Battlefield 1942, blessed with the fine price of no-pennies in honour of its 10th anniversary, even while loudly decrying the entire system. THE INTERNET.

   The entire BF lineage is 10 years old in fact, and while Battlefield 3 might be DICE’s current going concern the first, World War II-set game, 1942, is very much still alive and well. After this, even more so. I long ago lost the little sticker with my install key for the game, so I’m damn well taking advantage of this, I tell you what.

   I’ll also be very interested to see what this does to the game’s community – I’m expecting a pretty huge resurgence, to be honest with you. It remains a great game. Wake Island4EVA.

   Yes, Mister No Never How Dare They Pants, you do need Origin installed or to install it to get this. I haven’t established if it contains any, all or none of the expansions, but I’ll update this post once I know.

   Or maybe I’ll just keep you hanging, much like that I

   Update: nope, looks like just the base game. And it really doesn’t look bad for a decade old, either. Wouldn’t mind some more shadows, though.

   Update update: If you’re struggling to find the download, check the ‘demos’ section of Origin. Obv.

   My favourite official map from BF2142 is Eagles Nest. A brilliant game all round. The BF2 custom remake of eagles nest is also an excellent map though not as good as the original.

   I've still got the original with the two expansions on DVD plus an extra copy of the original still in its wrapper.

   Battlefield 1942 although 10 years old is still a brilliant game with open world battlefields and lots of bots trying to kill you. you can fly any plane and drive any vehicle. You can only fire the big guns on the battleships but can pilot the landing craft. The game is well supported by the battlefield community with too many modifications (Mods) to mention. you'll find hundreds of extra maps for the game, all free. Battlefield single player is a good place to go to find maps and mods for the game.

   Thanks for posting this, guys. :)
   I had read about Battlefield but never played it before. The 60 MB download for the Origin Client and 1.2 GB download for the game are made tolerable because of Origin's resilient download manager.
   I've played for a few minutes so far and enjoyed the tactical element - so much so that my gripe with the game is that it makes war look as though it were fun.
