Avid gamers will recall that EA's Battlefield 1942 was one of the most popular titles...of 2002. It was the game that kicked off the entire Battlefield series, which, in the past decade, has produced some monster hits.

Battlefield 1942 Full Game Free Download May 7, 2014 admin Shooter 2 Battlefield 1942 ( BF1942 ) is a World War II 3D first-person shooter (FPS) game developed by Digital Illusions CE and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows (2002) and Apple Macintosh (2004). GOG.com is a digital distribution platform – an online store with a curated selection of games, an optional gaming client giving you freedom of choice, and a vivid community of gamers. All of this born from a deeply rooted love for games, utmost care about customers, and a belief that you should own the things you buy. In Battlefield 1942, you're a WWII soldier on a true-to-life battlefield, equipped with weapons that look and sound authentic, able to storm the beaches on foot or seamlessly jump into and out of any of 35 vehicles of war. The depth is incredible.

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, EA's Origin store is offering Battlefield 1942 (PC) free of charge. Don't worry that it appears on Origin's Demos page; it's definitely the full game.

To get it, you'll need an Origin account and the Origin download client, both free, both akin to Steam (but solely for EA games, natch). With those items in place, just click Get It Now and you're off to the races -- er, battlefield.

If you've never played the game, it's a first-person shooter set during -- duh -- World War II. Unlike most scripted shooters, however, this one drops you on the battlefield with only the most basic mission outline, then gives you free reign (i.e. an open world, or sandbox) in which to accomplish that mission. You can run-and-gun on foot, or jump into a jeep, tank, dive bomber, or dozens of other vehicles.

Of course, it's really meant to be enjoyed online, with other players -- up to 64 of which can share the same map. And I'm happy to report that game servers are alive and well, so there's plenty of massively multiplayer action yet to be had.

And what a blast from the past. Battlefield 1942 was designed with square monitors in mind, not the wide-screen LCDs we're all accustomed to today. And visually, well, it looks about as muddy and muted as you'd expect a 10-year-old game to look. That said, the core game remains outstanding -- and you can't argue with the price.

I'm not sure if this is a limited-time giveaway or EA plans to make the game free from here on out (though I'm guessing the former). If you want to see how the Battlefield series began, or you're just in the mood for some awesome World War II combat, today is definitely your lucky day.
