Origin. The way to go to spoil a free offer.

[CentralDogma]

Seems like they classified it as a demo, so looks like this isn't a limited time offer and will be free indefinitely.

What's wrong with Origin?

Looks like you can also get 50% MoH: Warfighter when you buy BF3 Premium. Not a bad deal for a game that just came out. Though I don't know if it's any good or not.

And I had nary a problem getting the game via Origin (which is also adverting the promotion on the client) - and yes, I live in the US, so this isn't an everywhere-but-NA-promotion this time.

I had played other BF games - just not this one.

Celebrate 10 years of Battlefield with the game that started it all. The most intense WWII combat action ever to hit your pc is now free to play.

Yep free!!

You can find it on origin in the demo section.

Man, I loved 1942. A group of us would go down to the Internet Cafe and spend an entire afternoon mowing one another down. Is it only available via Origin?

[thealexweb]

I remember when this was announced a while back, I installed origin and look extensively for it and found nothing.

[REM2000]

i brought the box set end of last year as i had a hankering for some fun online gaming, no excuse for friends not to own a copy now!

[compl3x]

Is this another NA only thing?

Nope. I see it. Why do they put it under "demos" instead of "free games"? Weird.

Size: 1248GB

[Javik]

I managed to find it under demos and I live in the UK. Will download and see whether it's the full product or not

[+Crisp]

Hmmhm, downloaded it for free last year, when DICE announce it would be free...
