Battlefield 2 Complete Collection DVD (Retail) Install without DVD-drive

Hi there,

I have a hardcopy of battlefield 2: complete collection, it's a one dvd retail version.

Since i dont have an optical drive for playing DVDs at my pc anymore, I can't install it.

Is there any solution, like a legal download, or preferably via Origin?

I have contacted an Origin help chat, but they couldnt help me convert it to an Origin version.

Is it still possible to convert it to an Origin version and have I contacted the wrong help chat?

Or has it become impossible to add/convert this retail license to my Origin account?

I dont even really care about those expansions, being able to download/install the base game of BF2 is fair enough for nostalgia puposes :P

    Hi @Tekkiebekkie!

    Even if you would able to convert it in a digital version you won't be able to play since official server are down.

    There's a solution: www.battlelog.co it's called "project revive" and it allows you to download and keep playing Battlefield 2/2142

    Give it a look!

    Regards

    Thanks for the workaround. I have heared of it before. I like to be able to install it from origin since almost all games i have are in there.

    I will be able to play it though, since i want to play it with friends via LAN or Hamachi network using a dedicated server.

    They are now able to link it to Origin accounts again, problem solved 🙂
