Can't add Battlefield 2 to Origin

Hi there, Was just trying to add my CD key for my BF2 hard copy to Origin, but it won't accept it. What can I do about this? The error message is: The product code you entered is not valid....

    Hey @Tekkiebekkie,

    the codes for BF2 are quite old, so it's likely they cannot be entered in Origin to unlock the game.

    An EA Advisor however should be able to check the code for you and grant you a digital download of BF2 - so feel free to contact (again) via chat or phone to get the game granted to your account.

Same here, got a hardcopy which is a retail version so it's not compatible with Origin.

I contacted the helpchat, but they just said that its impossible to activate it since it's not an Origin version. The Origin services for Battlefield 2 itself are stopped btw, but if you have an Origin code for it, you'll still be able to activate and download it for SP or LAN MP (online multiplayer/chatrooms etc. wont work tho).

So I asked for an Origin activation at the helpdesk, since i don't have an optical drive (for the DVD) in my pc.

But apparently they can't access their own registration systems which give permissions for accessing their BF2 download servers.

So i guess we're just fked.

    An advisor just added a BF2 complete collection license to my account 🙂

    It's great to see how keys get re-released again 😉

    @EA_Joker Wait does this mean that I can get digital copy of older games if I own a physical copy of them & talk to the EA advisor. Mind if you share what are the older games you guys give as a digital copy?

      I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.

      If you have any issues with Battlefield please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
