Re: Battlefield 1942 FREE on Origin!

I noticed today something peculiar in the server list:

2957434BF1942_2012-11-05_17-17-46-610.png



And the server version is v1.612... Looks like a new update is coming out.

To celebrate our 10th anniversary and two millionth Premium member, we are giving away Battlefield 1942 for free! Relive if it you’re an old-time fan. See where it all started if you’re new to the series. You can download Battlefield 1942 right now on Origin at: http://origin.com/demos and learn more about this DICE classic here: http://blogs.battlefield.com/2012/11/do … -for-free/

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/fo … 306624773/

There are some things you need to know. The most important one is that you CANNOT use this to play with people that have the disc-based version....

Battlefield 1942 Origin Digital Download FAQ
Q: Can I play online against players who have the original disc-based version?
A: No. This Origin digital download version can only be played against other players who are using the same version. But since it’s free for everyone, everyone can download their own copy of the game. This version of the game will only show applicable (new) servers in the server browser.

And no this does not include the expansion packs.

Re: Battlefield 1942 FREE on Origin!

Hmm... Looks like they've made a different client and server version, so you can only play through EA servers. Let's see if it's possible to patch it.

Re: Battlefield 1942 FREE on Origin!

Woah ... Insane !

This may be the single and biggest piece of news in the BF1942 scene for 5+years !!

New blood / life to the 1942 community !?!?!

Let's hope for the ultimate wet dream : Thousands of new players entering this game after it has nearly died.

i'm gonna stay up alllll night to witness this ..... smile .... it's a miracle !

But maybe it dies out fast too ..... let's hope some of those players actually buys the REAL game ....

Lecter ... it think that "demo" is separated completely from "our" version, but it may be posible to have two versions installed at the same time ?

I'm gonna try out that new version for sure !!! ... right now ... !! even if i'll have to deinstall regular 1942

It installs at %PROGRAMFILES%\Origin Games\Battlefield 1942, so you can have both games installed.

I hope they release a Linux dedicated server file. You can host your own Windows dedicated server v1.612.
