Honestly, even though I despise origin, I can still see the point that a digital release of a game would make sense to put on origin. However what annoys me is they only put it up for grabs for 5 months meaning it wont reach its intended audience before its too late meaning this was nothing but a crappy marketing stunt. I would however love to see a HD release, I mean wtf EA you have a money machine next to you and your not using it??!??!?
What? Sorry, i was to busy playing minecraft to notice or care, and my Battlefield 3 game was moved to the lowest point on the shelf because of your mandatory 2GB update which is like a huge tax on the poor whom only have 4GB Arcade Xbox 360's.
From the bottom of its heart?! You are aware that EA is a private compeny, right? Of course they are doing it also to promote Origin, but where will they offer a free digital copy of a game if not on their very own digital distribution system?vfn4i83 said:
OT: That's great, I remember fondly BF1942. I wish only I would have time to play it.
Super bummed that origin players and disk players can't play against each other.
God I'm torn over this- do I jump on the origin bandwagon so I can ruthlessly wipe out all the kids flocking to it, or stick to the disk version?

First reaction: Yaaaaaaaaaaaay, free Battlefield!
Second reaction: Ah, damn, origin and no playing with boxed versions online.
Third reaction: Origin wants to to connect to game or whatever and refuses me to go online.
Fourth reaction: Stuck in offline mode and can't do shit, fuck Origin.

It's not that I necessarily care about Origin itself as a client, but that I even have to download their dumbass client AT ALL. I've already had to suck it up some and download effing Uplay when I bought my copy of Far Cry 3 off Steam. And I have to boot it up EVERY TIME I want to play it because it can't use Steam's system for some reason... Even though it's already ON Steam. >_>
And as everyone already said, it's not THAT great of an offer considering that it doesn't come with any of its expansions. So yeah, that's why I, personally, am turning my nose up at this.
If people want an amazing alternative to this that doesn't use Origin, I would HIGHLY recommend Insurgency with the WW2 mod which the devs even officially supported.
