    Battlefield Battlefield 1942 on Recycled Computers to Prevent Youth Suicide

    Battlefield 1942 on Recycled Computers to Prevent Youth Suicide

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 10:35 PM PST

    Hey guys,

    For the past 2 years I've unsuccessfully been trying to contact someone at Origin/EA/Dice to get some more information regarding my issue, with no luck or any closure, and I'm unsure where else to turn, so I thought I'd give it one more shot on some reddit communities, you never know, my luck might change.

    I live in New Zealand, and I run a multiplayer video gaming business, where we intercept desktop computers from going into the landfill and being thrown out at the dump, and repurpose them to host large multiplayer video gaming events for kids and teenagers in the local community, in an effort to alleviate Youth Suicide, School Bullying and Child Poverty, of which New Zealand has one of the worst rates of statistically in the developed world.

    Our organisation has won many awards for our work, and have even had many video game developers contribute multiple copies of their games, even from places like California and Europe, and even big names like Riot have been in touch with me directly.

    As you can imagine, the computers we find aren't the best, but some of the best multiplayer games to have up to 64 people in the same game are often older games anyway, particularly Battlefield 1942, which won't need much horsepower.

    However, no matter how hard I've tried, I'm unable to find 64+ copies of Battlefield 1942. I've tried contacting EA multiple times over the last 2 years, but they just tell me to buy multiple copies on Ebay, which would be an absolute nightmare.

    EA Customer Support keeps saying that they will 'escalate' the case as an important case to get some definitive results on from higher up the chain, but it's been over 8 months since the last case was elevated, and I've had multiple attempts at this over 2 years with no results and nobody ever getting back to me.

    Ultimately, the same story I get told is that I've been told by customer support that Battlefield 1942 is a 'Sunset Game' that has been discontinued, and I'm unable to buy copies from them.

    I see that there are MANY places online that are distributing the full Battlefield 1942 client, claiming that it is completely legal to do so, as apparently Battlefield 1942 was released for 'Free' temporarily on Origin many years ago, but has been since removed. I am just not sure it is a good idea for me to take this approach without legitimately purchasing multiple copies, as I have not found any definitive legal information regarding the state the game currently exists in and which domain, publicly or not.

    I would really appreciate any support or advice regarding this, or if anyone had any contacts I might be able to try.

    I would also like to try find the same results for Battlefield 2, Battlefield Vietnam and 2142, as these would also be great to play.

    My only other hope is this get's upvoted enough for someone at the head office to spot it and give me some sort of confirmation.

    I appreciate it guys, it would be great to get something positive here for Battlefield 1942, as for such a masterpiece to fade into obscurity like it has is such a tragedy.

    The sounds in Battlefield 1 are unrivaled in my opinion. Just simply amazing. I made a short video showing off the sounds and visuals of this game. Turn up your volume and enjoy.

    If Bad Company 3 will ever be made, where do you think it will be set?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 11:42 PM PST

    I was replaying some BFBC2 and was thinking about the cliffhanger, and what would happen next IF the series ever makes a return.

    BFBC2 was unique in that the maps were set in the Americas; North American maps set in the Alaskan portion of US, while South American maps took place in Chile and Argentina.

    BFBC1 is much more vague. The game probably starts off in Eastern Europe, and the rest of the game appears to be in the Caucasus, which is likely where the fictional country of Serderistan is. Either that or it's across the Caspian with the rest of the -stan countries. As for the supposed Middle Eastern places like the Sadiz resort city, I'm guessing it's in the northern Iran coast. MEC soldiers speak Arabic, so I'm guessing they're the Arab speaking minority, though their flag is of Ba'athist Iraq, so maybe it's an alt-reality of a successful Iraqi incursion of northwest Iran.

    So with the series already taking place in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, then North and South America, I think the next hypothetical game locations could be:

    The Far East: like if somehow the US and RU duke it out in northern Japan or China's Heilongjiang province

    Southeast Asia and Pacific islands: if the Chinese become a major faction like BF4, though that has already been done with the main title games

    Around India: I don't think any Battlefield game has ever been here. There is a territorial dispute with China and India, so it'd make sense if China was a major faction in the game, with maps set in northern India

    Sub-Saharan Africa: Battlefield has had maps in Northern Africa in the recent World War games, but the rest of Africa has never been used as a setting. May not tie into the Russo-American story, but I can see it as a setting for the Legionnaire or a new faction

    Dice. If I quit a lobby 7 times. STOP PUTTING ME IN THE SAME FUCKING LOBBY

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 01:12 PM PST

    I understand you can browse lobbies but damn, if I quit the same game. Maybe I don't want to play that game.

    What are the concurrent player counts for BF5 BF1 BF4 on PS4?

    Posted: 08 Jan 2021 10:13 AM PST

    I'm consider buying BF1 or BF4 on PS4 since BF5 right now feels really boring and stale. But I don't know the active player counts on PS4 for these games.

    Anybody knows? Thanks.
