Yes, that would be great if Battlefield 1942 was free. Some popular first person shooter games like Team Fortress 2, Arma 2 and Quake Live are free.

yep, if this was free im sure it would attract alot of new players. Though the game is cheap now but harder to find in stores unless online.

That is the problem, it's not easy to find a legal BF1942 copy nowadays. I know EA Games have a store called Origin, where you can pay and download fast and safely any recent game published by them. They should have Battlefield 1942 at a low price there, or even better, for free.

Found it in a nearby store selling for 6,9 €.
What bugs me the most is that Battlefield 1942 is one of the best online games, and it had some support from EA Games, back then, but when Battlefield 2 was released they totally forgot about it. Battlefield 1942 has some room for improvements, like better graphics, improving the netcode, optimizing the server and client code, widescreen support, running gracefully in Windows Vista and 7, etc., but they just don't care about it, because they aren't making money from selling BF1942 copies anymore.
On the other hand, Counter-Strike 1.6 (a Half-Life mod), much older than BF1942, is a great first-person shooter game, and is still very popular, has always received attention and support from Valve.
I just wished they released Battlefield 1942 as a free download and it would be like cherry on top if they made available the source code, like Quake developers did.
