Does anyone know if you're able to play this online even if it's not bought from the shops.
as you can pobably tell, i'm gonna download it.

Downloading it would probably use a key that someone else already has, which would cause problems for either you or the other person.
You can get BF1942 with all the expansion packs for $20 at EB, go buy it, it'll save a lot of trouble.

Is that EB as in Electronics Boutique?
Coz i'm pretty sure all the EB's around near me shut down ages ago.
I have a Game nearby, but they're over-priced, going on extortionate.

Yeah, Pilot is assuming your American. Im sure you can get this game for less than £20 with the expansions, seeing as how PC games over here de-value pretty quick.

Would it defo not work if i downloaded it then?
Who does the servers? Company-wise.

I'm glad they shortened it to EB. Their old title is annoying to spell. And it's almost completely about video games now.

Not in BF1942 you don't, They only started doing that since BF2.

So do you not have to register with anyone to play online?

[Pilot_51]

Nope.
