Battlefield is celebrating its 10th Anniversary and is celebrating by giving you something for free. Battlefield 1942, the game that started it all.

You heard right: Battlefield is giving away the patriarch of the franchise so that everyone across the world can play together, old school. Be it for a history lesson or nostalgia, DICE is allowing players the ability to fight in four theaters: South Pacific, North Africa, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe; fight in huge 32 v. 32 battles online, and use 35 different weapons, vehicles, ships, and aircraft.
